No Acrobat menu in Word tool bar; detect & repair question

[Tim Murray]

System is Acrobat 7 Pro and Word 2004 11.1

Acrobat's online help indicates (in many places) that there should be an
Acrobat menu added to the menu bar to enable changing certain options.
Further, the help takes pains to identify what is specific to Windows or
specific to Mac, but anything about the menu bar makes no such distinction.

The extra PDF buttons are there in their own tool bar, and functionally, they
work fine. Well, there is one oddity: Each run, the macro asks me to locate
the Printer Setup Utility.

I have run the Acrobat detect & repair many times. Each time it ends with
"missing components were repaired."

So my first question is, does anyone with a working 7 Pro + Word 2004
combination have an Acrobat item in Word's menu bar?

Second is, for anyone with a working combination of Acrobat plus Word, does
running the repair give you the "missing components were repaired" every
time?

Acrobat 7 seems to have lots of integration issues. I'd suggest trying
the Acrobat forum. Adobe's forums work better when accessed via the
web, but they can be accessed through newsreaders as well, IF you've
registered using the web forum pages.

Thanks, but no answer there.

Spoke too soon. There is an answer, and it's "yes" to both questions.

No answer here, either, but then I get rid of the Adobe
toolbars/controls as unnecessary (and if you have trouble, see

http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/pdftoolbar.html

for one way)

Instead I use the "AdobePDF" print driver as my default printer (I don't
print hard copy very often), then just use the print icon.

I just wanted to play around with a few things relating to bookmarks and
links.
