Unable to generate PDF files from my Office files

[Carole]

Hi all,
Maybe one of you could help me on a PDF problem. I have Office 2007
installed as well as Adobe standard 8, together with Vista.
While creating a PDF file from a Word document, Word gave up on me. I had to
restart the computer. Since then the Adobe tool bar does not come up in
either Office programm. I have lost my Print to PDF option and even trying to
generate a PDF file from Adobe directly does not work.
Hm, I uninstalled Adobe and reloaded it, no help. I found a procedure to
reactivate, deactivated addins which did not help either.
So I'm stuck.
Any ideas will be more than welcome. Thanks in advance for your input.

Did you try installing the .pdf add-in that Microsoft offers?

In Acrobat 8 have you used Help, Check for Updates? As I recall, updates are
required for Office 2007 compatibility.

In Word go to Office Icon, Word Options, Add-Ins and check your active,
inactive and disabled add-ins.

Thanks for your quick reply. I have tried one of the Microsoft offers which
did work. But there are some options I use in the Adobe which I would like to
continue to use as well.

When Word shut down it deactivated the PDFMaker. I then reactivated it but
the tool bar still does not show! The Help function was not of much help
unfortunately. Adobe should be at the latest update as well.
A real headache with a simple answer if you know it as usual, thats what I
guess.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Did you check the Add-ins list to see if it appears in the Disabled Add-ins
list? Click the Office Button, click Word Options then click Add-Ins. If it
has been disabled, which Word may automatically do if an error occurred,
then under the Mange drop down select "Disabled Items" and then click Go.
You should then be able to remove the add-in from the Disabled list.

"Adobe should be at the latest update as well."

Just to be sure. My Acrobat version is 8.1.2. If you are not at that
version, suggest you keep using Acrobat, Help, Check for Updates until you
are at version 8.1.2.

If your Acrobat is at version 8.l.2, you should at least be able to right
click on a Word file in Windows Explorer and convert it to Adobe PDF. If you
cannot, for Acrobat problems suggest you try Adobe Forums at:
