Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker Toolbar

[BobRocks]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I have a couple of questions regarding Adobe Acrobat working with Word.

Is the "Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker" toolbar in Office for Mac 2004 a "Microsoft" thing or is it from when I had Acrobat on my computer?

I used to have Adobe Acrobat on my computer, but got rid of it because I could never get it to work right. But now, anytime I open Word or Excel, the Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker Toolbar comes up on the screen. Even though I have gone and turned it off in the toolbar setup, every time I open these programs the Adobe toolbar is back.

I know Mac OS comes with a PDF creator built in, but I'm unclear as to which is Mac OS and what might be remnants of my old Acrobat. If I try to use the icon on the toolbar to create a pdf, I get an error message saying that the pdf printer isn't installed. If I choose to "save as a pdf" form the print option it works fine.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this figured out and squared away?

It is clearly and uniquely an artifact of Adobe. It has nothing to do with
Office. To fix it, follow the instructions here:
