Missing pdf maker files for Office 2007

After several months working, my MS Office 2007 applications stopped giving me the ability to create pdf files in Acrobat Pro 8.1.2. I only received the error PDFMaker Files not found.

I solved this by:
* Open Office Application (i.e. Word)
* Click the Office Icon in upper left corner
* Click the "Word Options" button bottom right
* Select Add-ins from the left column
* (I scrolled through the box and noticed that for some reason the PDFMaker Com Office Add-in was disabled)
* I went to the Manage drop down box at the bottom and selected "Disabled Items" and hit Go
* Enabled the PDFMaker Add-in
* Restarted

Then everything was back to normal! Hope that helps if someone comes to the same problem.

    You are a genius. Thank you for posting the information about the adobe add in for Word. I also installed the update 8.1.2 and then all of a sudden could not make PDF's. I would have never thougth to check the Add In section in word. Thank You!
