Compatibility with Adobe Acrobat

[Brentwood Boy]

I create all documents for my clients in Office applications-Word, Excel,
etc.-then convert them to Adobe .pdf files before transmitting them to my
clients. I have Adobe 5.0. Since upgrading to a new system with Win XP and
Office 2003 I no longer have an Adobe icon shown on the toolbar in the Offcie
applications. The only way I can create an Adobe .pdf file is to print to the
Adobe distiller. However, when I do this I do not retain the bookmarks in the
Adobe file. How can I make my Office 2003 applications compatibile with Adobe
5.0

First you need Adobe Acrobat version 5.0.5 or later for Windows XP
compatibility. If your version is prior, open Acrobat and go to Help and
select Updates.

If you have a compatible version now, open Acrobat and go to Help and select
Repair. If Repair does not work, you may be able to restore the Acrobat
icon to Word by copying the needed *.dot file to the correct Office folder.
IMO, you should uninstall Acrobat and reinstall.

If you also have Adobe Reader installed, check that it is the same basic
version as your Acrobat. A prior or later version can cause problems. If
you have Adobe Reader and uninstall Acrobat {above} also uninstall the
reader.

FYI, Adobe is about to ship Acrobat version 7 and upgrade the Adobe Reader
to version 7.

You will need to Update/upgrade Adobe Acrobat to at least version 6 to
be compatable with Office 2003.
