Choose Start, Settings, Printers and click either Acrobat Distiller or Adobe PDF, depending on whether you have Acrobat 5 or 6 respectively. The steps below describe the Acrobat 6 dialog boxes.

On the Adobe PDF Settings tab put checkmarks next to:

Choose the Default Settings selection you want, then click Edit.

Click OK as many times as necessary to close all of the various dialogs that you've opened.
