Hi, Brian. You need to upgrade to at least Acrobat

5.0.5, because Acrobat 5.0 doesn't work properly with
Office 2003. See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;826855 "After You Upgrade to Word 2003, Adobe Acrobat
Buttons Are Missing or Do Not Work, or You Receive an
Error Message" and

oot problems with Acrobat PDFMaker 5.0".

Done what they said on the update site, took off Adobe
Acrobat 5.05 reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 5. then downloaded
the 5.05 version update, in Word 2003and Excel 2003, i
can put a document and select print then pick Acrobat
distiller and it prints to Adobe Acrobat 5.05 no problem,
so all that is missing is the red PDF icons.

Hi, Brian. If you click on View | Toolbars, is PDFMaker

5.0 a choice, and is it checked?

In Word, click on View | Toolbars. Is PDFMaker 5.0 a choice, and is it checked? If not, then click on Tools | Templates and Addins. Is PDFMaker.dot a choice, and is it checked?

In Excel, click on View | Toolbars. Is PDFMaker 5.0 a choice, and is it checked? Ditto for Powerpoint.

Hi Steve, got this when i click on add button in Word 2003

Cause
This problem occurs because of an incompatibility with
the PDFMaker.dot file, the PDFMaker.xla file, or the
PDFMaker.ppa add-in that is included and installed with
Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 or earlier. Adobe does not support
running version 5.0.5 or earlier of the PDFMaker
templates with Office 2003.

Hi Steve

MS checks one or more of the Acrobat addin file dates and tosses that at you if
they're older than a certain date, as I recall.

If Brian's right about 5.0.5 installing/working in Office 2003, then perhaps
Adobe made some fixes after MS added this message and the two are just out of
synch. On the other hand, if they'd done that,

presumably the file dates would

be later and ...

sheesh ... what a mess ...! ;-)

If it all installs and works, you can probably ignore the message (and there
might be a way of "touching" the file to give it a later date ... sneakily
sidestepping the message).

To recap: so far we have MS and Adobe quoted as saying Acrobat 5.0.5 wont'
work with Office 2003, Garfield-n-Odie saying it will, me scratching my head
and you wondering who to believe. ;-)

Hi Steve
When i closed Word down and go back in again the 2 icons
are not there so it looks like it dose not work in office
2003 as the message box says,you put a document in word
and print PDF file to Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 it there to
opens in it,but if you go to templates and add-in in word
the pdfmaker.dot is there but the box has no tick in
it.So if you tick it you get that message to say it dose
not work
