Default error printing secured PFS from Adobe Reader to virtual printer(PDFCreator)

Does anyone know the answer to the following question?

Trying to print out a secure PDF file from Adobe Reader to a PDF file
(with the open source program PDFCreator), I get a PDF file with the
following text:

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: eexec
STACK:
/quit
-dictionary-
-mark

Does anyone know who is the culprit and how I can solve this problem?

(Well, I do, and I will post the answer immediately hereafter, in
order to contribute to newsgroups as a useful archive)


Solution:
Don't use Adobe Reader!

The culprit is the (newer versions of) Adobe Reader. It has nothing to
do with the operating system or the version of Ghost you use. I
installed Foxit Reader from Foxit software, and from this program I
can correctly print secured PDFS to virtual printers. (Mind you, I
have no ties to Foxit, and I do neither recommend nor advise against
the use of their software).
