Default cannot install document image writer on windows 7 64 bit from

" I had the same problem.

I solved it by using the fax printer driver. It has an option to print to
file.

On printing, you direct the output to the fax printer driver.
Click the 'print to file'
Type in the file name you want in the resulting dialog box. Make sure you
include the .TIF extension - it is too dumb to put it in for you.

Click print and you have your file..

Editorial comment. Taking away the 'Document Image Writer' was a big loss in
functionality for Windows. The XPS writer is NOT a replacement - it does not
produce industry standard and compatible file formats. Hence, you are reduced
to using the fax driver a useful file format.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and was about to give up on a solution, but
Nigh****chman you are so correct!
It take a little finagling, but who cares? It works. The .pdf doc I tested
it didn't give me an option to rename, but no biggie. I chose the fax printer
option and it automatically popped open with the document attached.
Double-click and voila!

Thank you!
