Options:
a) Output a PostScript file from Publisher and distill it on the PC with
Acrobat
b) Network the two PCs and print across the LAN to Acrobat
c) Install Publisher on the other machine but do not activate it, and print
from that.

Specifically what are you trying to do? (No, there is no viewer.)

 

[Neal]

Where would I find info on option B. I am not sure how that works. Thank you
very much for getting back to me.

Publisher and distill it on the PC with

Acrobat

It seems the one letter you didn't say is the option you were after.

Option A: Creating a PostScript file and distilling in Acrobat
Install the Adobe Generic PostScript Driver from www.adobe.com
If possible, download the Acrobat Distiller PPD with that, failing that use
a generic one.
Once that's installed, go to File > Print, select the printer you installed,
and select Print To File.
Click OK, and select a location for your PostScript file (these can be BIG
files, so make sure you have enough disk space), name the file with
extension ".ps".
Copy the file to the PC that has Acrobat, and open Acrobat Distiller. Open
the PostScript file in Distiller and wait for Distiller to generate a PDF
