Any work around to this error message.

It shows up during the start up of Excel 2003 after the install of Acrobat standard 8.

Thanks

I am also having the same problem. I completely un-installed the PDFmaker addin and I am still getting the same error message. If anyone ever finds a solution to this, please post in the thread!

Remember when you search for the files to enable the search tool to show hidden and system files or you may not find what you are looking for... fix worked for me just fine

So, apparently Adobe isn't talking on this at all..... I have three computers with the same issue, I am about two steps from stopping all updates to Adobe and using some other form of similar software. I can get fine PDFCreators from several sites around the world, and they all work fine. Acrobat 8 Pro cost us some money, and has some great features, but if we can't get this resolved, we will downgrade and begin looking elsewhere.

I have this same problem after installing Adobe pro. 8. Are there any solutions out there?

The reinstall didn't stop the error.

That didn't work for me.

The first part, remove the PDFMaker.* files, was on the MS support site. My Office Startup Folder didn't contain either of those files to begin with.

I did the Repair option under the help menu but, that wasn't the cure.

I wonder if it had something to do with my uninstall of v7 before my install of v8?

I'm going to uninstall and reinstall v8.

Thanks

Remove all instances of the PDFMaker.dot and PDFMaker.xla files from \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office version/Startup folder and reinstall PDFMaker using the Help > Detect and Repair menu option in Acrobat.
