I just installed office 2010 and windows 7, unfortunately after installing acrobat 8, I can't create pdf documents, I get a very popular error - pdfmaker files missing.

The troubleshooting steps for the earlier versions of windows do not work. Pdfmaker is properly enabled.

So what is the solution?

Acrobat 9.x, updated to the current dot release and any subseqent dot releases.

Adobe has not re-worked Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8.x for support/compatibility of Windows 7
Adobe Reader/Acrobat (9.2, if I recall correctly) starts support for Windows 7 (32-bit / 64-bit).
For Acrobat 8, a number of folks report success when using a virtual XP 32-bit session while on Windows 7.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat release 9.3 or better ought to be workable with Office 2010.
As to earlier versions compatibility within Office 2010; time will tell.
Your experience seems to indicate that one will need Acrobat 9.2 or better.
