Save as PDF Add-in

[mbursian]

I have MS Office 2007 Home and Student Edition.

Just recently my "Save as PDF" add-in stopped working... up til now it had
been working fine.

I try to save a Word doc as a PDF and I get an error message: "File cannot
be found".

I went to the Options menu and saw that the add-in is NOT included.
I went to the program manager in the control panel and see that the add-in
file IS there. I uninstalled, and downloaded again from MS Office website...
and reinstalled. Rebooted for good measure. Go back into MS Word and the
"Save as PDF" add-in is STILL not there. Try to save a doc as PDF and still
get ther "File cannot be found" error message... although program manager
indicates that it is installed.

Don't know WHY it stopped working... and it has been a real hinderance to
conduct any business without this feature.

Any fixes, comments, or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

What business are you trying to conduct with Office 2007 Home and
Student Edition?

I chose Home and Student Edition over Office Professional because I don't use
Access, Accounting Express, or Outlook. I use Word, Excel and PowerPoint
exclusively... bought Publisher 2007 on the side. I didn't see a reason to
pay for programs I don't use.

Frankly, I don't see the relevance of what I am doing with Word, Excel or
PowerPoint with the functionality of the "Save as PDF Add-in".

If you must know, I am trying to convert a job resume from Word 2007 to the
PDF format.

To reiterate a point made... it WAS there and worked just dandy until
recently... NOW the file cannot be found, although the Program Manager
indicates that it is installed.

The only reason for asking was that Home and Student is not licensed for
business or commercial use. As to getting the add in working again, try
running the Microsoft Office Diagnostics.

Bob... I understand that Home and Student Edition is not for commercial use.
I'll rephrase as "doing personal tasks", as I am not engaged in any
commercial business applications.

With regards to Office Diagnostics... yes, I have run that... two separate
times, and the results indicate that there are no conflicts or problems.

I recently updated my Adobe Reader to Version 9... BUT the problem began
BEFORE that upgrade.

Does it also fail to work in Excel? Also you may try clearing the
Temporary Internet Files folder (Control Panel, Internet options, Delete
files). Is there any Error number listed?
