Acrobat Distiller cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated

Hi. I installed Acrobat 8 Professional and it seems that things are working ok, but when I try to convert a Word document to PDF, I get an error message “Acrobat Distiller cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated.”. As mentioned on your website, I tried to use the Help > Repair Acrobat Installation menu command to insure the PDFMaker is working properly with the Office applications, but that didn’t fix the problem. Any comments will be appreciated.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Hi snow2345,

Here is an Adobe TechNote that offers several options to fix this issue-

Note this doc states these solutions are based on use of Classic version of Win XP. If you are using Vista and/or Office 2007, Adobe does not support those yet for Acrobat.

Hope that helps,
