I am currently testing Adobe Pro 8.0 in Vista and Office 2007. I know there are some issues, but have not seen this one as of yet. While trying to create a new form off of an existing XLS or DOC file, I keep getting the message "Missing PDFMakers files - Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" I have clicked yes but to no avail. I am able to print to PDF from within Excel and Word. I have also checked both Word and Excel to make sure there were no disabled add-ins. Am I missing something here, or is this one of the bugs to be fixed by the update?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Nat

Acrobat Pro 8.0 is currently being updated to work with Vista and Office 2007. Don't know when the fix will be available. I had the same problem so I rolled back my operating system from Vista to Windows XP Professional. Office 2007 and Acrobat Pro 8.0 are now working fine with Windows XP Pro.

Eugene,

Thanks for the response. I also have 8.0 on my XP PC. Just so I understand, then, will that be one of the fixes in the Upgrade due out later on this summer? I just had not seen if anyone else had similar issues.

Take care ..

Start a new thread and explain in detail what happens when you try to create a PDF. Also mention the version of Acrobat you are using.

I had Microsoft Word 2003 on my previous operating system; Windows XP
I installed a new computer with Windows XP Pro that came with the latest version of Word: 2007.

When I right click on a Word 2007 file and select "Convert to PDF" it does not convert the file; and "Missing PDFmaker files" appears on a new window.

I have Adobe CS3 Premium package running, which includes Acrobat 8 professional.

I downloaded recent Adobe updates. I also made sure that the PDFmaker plug-in is ENABLED in Word 2007. I've visited a few E-communities like this one and read that several people are facing the same issue.

thank you for your reply, Happy Hplidays.
