I'm running Acrobat Professional 8 and Microsoft Windows XP SP2

When I try to right click to convert a DWG to PDF, I receive the following message:
Missing PDFMaker Files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode? I did and it didn't work. I also uninstalled and re-installed the software. All other files will convert with no issues
Any ideas of what I can do to fix this?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 8.1.2, Windows

Just to clarify, are you using Standard or Pro? Your product information lists Std but your post refers to Pro?

Have you you tried repairing Acrobat from under the Help menu?
