Did you install publisher after you installed Acrobat 8 - it may be that publisher was not installed, and then the Acrobat installer could not place the appropriate gadget in the Publisher application.

Can you create PDF files from Word, for example ?

Can you print Publisher to PostScript, then use Acrobat Distiller ?

I am not Publisher expert, but these are some ideas i thought I might share.
