Missing PDFmaker files

[chat]

Okay, I'm feeling really blond right now so I hope someone can help me.
I am curring running vista with office 2007. I have been in the process of
converting some word and excel documents to PDF and started getting an error
"missing PDFmaker files"
Adobe help says this is because the file I'm trying to convert is an office
2003 or earlier version. Adobe provides specific instructions on how to fix
this problem in office 2003 or older by clicking on the Help button at the
top of the screen selecting about microsoft word (or other) then selecting
disabled items and enabling the pdfmaker. See website info (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329044 )
So here is the problem. Im not running 2003 I'm running 2007 and there is NO
help button at the top of the screen. When I go through the microsoft
button>about microsoft, there is no disabled items list.
Does anyone know how to enable the disabled items in 2007?? Or another way
to correct this problem when running a new version than the document was
created in.

Thank in advance for your assistance

If it's .pdf files you need to make why not install the save as .pdf-xps
option in office. If you look under the big Office button you'll find the
option save as. There you'll find the option .pdf. If not installed yet you
see the option to download it from the microsoft site (it's an add in). If
you install it in Word you'll get it for alle the other office apps. as well.

Thanks for the info. I do have that option in 2007 and that is what I have
been doing to convert the forms. Problem with that is that I have to open
each of them up then convert them. The way I was doing it when I get the
error message is just to right click on the file and convert it to PDF. I am
doing alot of them so it would be easier not opening each doc to convert it.
I just can't seem to find the option in 2007 that acrobat says to look for in
2003 to fix the problem.

Thanks

The problem is that you are using an OLD version of Adobe Acrobat that
is not compatible with Office 2007. You will need to UPGRADE to at least
Version 8, or Use the Microsoft PDF addin.

In Word 2007, click the Office button and the select Word Options. In the
options list {on left} select add-in and you will get a list of active and
inactive add-ins. At the bottom, there is a selection list for different
types of add-ins. My Word 2007 defaults to the *.com type. In my Word 2007,
Adobe PDF maker is a *.com type add-in.

If there is any problem using a add-in, Word disables the add-in. So, a
add-in like PDF maker can work and then stop working after a problem. I
think the behavor of disableing a add-in when a problem occurs has been in
Word for several verisons.

Thanks Don, That did the trick!!! You guided me to exactly the right place. I
used that drop down menu to select Disabled Items and sure enough pdfmaker
was the only thing there.
You get an A+ in my book!
