Missing PDFMaker-files - Acrobat 7.0 / Office 2010

[Atlantec]

Hi,

I have a problem to create PDF files from Office documents.

• Acrobat Professional 7.1.0
• Microsoft Office Professional 2010

I get the error message "missing PDFMaker files".

Office 2010 is a new installation. With my old Office 2003 I had no problems.

I tried to activate/deactivate the Office Add-ins and change the security options.

I tried to register the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll in my system32 folder (I can't register the other DLLs).

I tried to contact the telephone support, but my version is too old.

Does anyone know what I can do? Or do I need an update?

Thanks!

AA7 will not provide a PDF Maker icon or action in OFFICE 2007 either. If PDF Maker is important for you, you will likely have to wait until AA10 that is planned to work with OFFICE 2010.

I had this problem on a Vista PC.
I only required Excel to work. but im sure its a similar process for Word etc.
I was still able to make PDF's with the 'Adobe PDF' printer function.

Click File
Click Options
Click Add-Ins

Select 'Acrobat PDF Maker Office .COM Addin'

From the Dropbox at the bottom select "Excel Addins"
- Click Go
- UN-SELECT Any Acrobat or PDFMaker listing

From the Dropbox at the bottom select "COM Addins"
- Click Go
- Check the box "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" IS selected
- If NOT.. Click Add and browse to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
- If your version is NOT 10.0 it will be a different folder ie 7.0 8.0 etc

From the Dropbox at the bottom select "Disabled Items"
- Click Go
- Make sure PDFMaker is NOT disabled

This fix may seem trivial however i spent a long time working on this problem.
I tried different versions
I manually removed Acrobat http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400658.html
I updated Office
I played with Macro security settings in Office
I tried different PDF settings in Distiller
All of this did nothing.

Remove it from the Excel Add-in
Leave it in the COM Add-in

I had no problems with Windows 7. Just Vista

I hope this works for someone else too.
