Acrobat in Word 2007

I'm having a difficult time getting the "Acrobat" tab to appear in Word 2007. The tab is visible in all other Office 2007 products as well as all of the 2003 versions that I have, but not in Word 2007. Is there some option that I didn't check somewhere or does something else need to be configured?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0999999999999996447286321199499070644378662109375, Windows

Try this:

Click the Word options button and inspect Add-Ins. You should see "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-in" from the COM Add-ins list.

Also check the Trust Center, in particular, Macro Setting.

Make any adjustments as necessary.

See [url=http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401734.php]PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 8.1.x (Windows)[/url] for a more detailed set of instructions and other possible solutions. It includes a video on how to enable the add-in.


For Acrobat 9.0: [url=http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403561.php]PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 (Windows)[/url]

I've already tried all the steps written there.
My problem only concerns Word: I can't activate the PDFMaker add in; I can tick the option but the change doesn't remain.
What should I do?
Thank you.

After converting a Word 2007 document to PDF/A I find that I can export the PDF back to Word 2003 format, but when does Adobe plan to support the exporting of PDF/A to Word 2007?

Hi Hope this thing is help full to you. When Adobe Acrobat has been properly installed on computers with MS Office, an Acrobat tab should be present at the top whenever Word, Excel and PowerPoint are opened. The Create PDF button on the far left should be used in most cases.

Adobe provides an export to RTF but a lot of formatting is lost.

You might want to look for a 3rd party tool.
