PDF add-in disabled on it's own

[AL0407]

Suddenly, the pdf maker add-in for Word 2007 is disabled. I did nothing to
cause this. It has always been working until today.

What I have tried:

Word options -> Add-ins -> selected PDF maker -> Manage COM add-ins - > Go
-> I attempt to the check the box next to PDF maker. It results in: the
add-in is installed for all users on this computer, and can only be connected
or disconnected by an administrator. I AM the administrator!

PLEASE help!

The second user on this computer has the PDF maker available in Word 2007.
In addition, I have it available in other Microsoft Office apps. I have
updated Acrobat Pro 9. Still nothing.

Start Word as administrator. Assuming you're using Vista or Windows 7,
right-click the shortcut you use to start Word, and choose Run as
administrator. You should now be able to re-enable the pdf add-in.

BTW... there's a free add-in designed to work with Office 2007. It's
available from Microsoft. So, if all else fails, you might go that route:
