How do I get the Acrobat option back in the Tools menu of Word?

What version of Acrobat are you using?

When you say "back", do you mean that it was there previously? Or do you
mean "back" as in "the way it was in Word 2003"?

Word 2007 doesn't normally have a menu at all, so it's not clear what you
mean--the menu was replaced by the ribbon. Some older versions of the
Acrobat toolbar can show up in the Add-ins tab in Word 2007, with limited to
no functionality. I don't know about integration in more recent versions of
Acrobat, since Microsoft's free add-in has basically made Acrobat a moot
issue for me.

If this is for creating .pdf files, you might find the free add-in from
Microsoft fills your needs without having to resort to using Acrobat. It can
be downloaded here:

I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8.0
Earlier there was an Acrobat-option in the tools bar together with File,
Edit, Layout etc. Suddenly it's gone, however.
When looking at the list of active add-ins in Word the PDFMaker is there -
Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin - but on the bar ther is nothing of it.
Any hint is appreciated

Make sure you have the latest updates for Acrobat 8 and in stall them. If
that doesn't work, try reinstalling Acrobat.

You still haven't said which Word version - and no version puts any Adobe
command set in the 'Tools' menu. In Word 2007 it adds a tab to the ribbon
and in 2003 (and earlier) it adds two custom toolbars and an entry to the
menu bar.
In Word 2003 if the toolbars are missing it may simply mean they are not
turned on (view toolbars). Otherwise the add-in is either disabled (Help >
About Microsoft Word > Disabled Items) or not installed. Repairing Acrobat 8
should fix the latter.
In Word 2007 either again it is not installed correctly (same fix as above)
or again disabled (inactive) - Word Options > Add-ins.
