With Acrobat v7 I was able to use the right click menu in IE7 to "Convert to Adobe PDF" or "Append to existing PDF". After installing Acrobat 8 Pro, the menu still appears, but it does not work. I have to use the Print command to convert a webpage to PDF. When I open a PDF in IE7 it tells me that some of the Adobe plugin are not enabled, but when I check "Manage Add-ons" there are 5 plugins, they are all enabled, but only 3 are loaded. (More details in [link=http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc2fc02]http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc2fc02[/link])
Any suggestions?

Acrobat 8 and IE7 are a bit problematic at this time. Adobe really hasn't come out with a version of Acrobat that fully supports all the 2007 applications. You'll find differences and different problems whether creating PDFs using menu commands in IE7, printing to a PDF, or using the Create PDF > From Web Page command. Look for many problems with IE7 and Office 2007 to be rectified in a maintenance upgrade some time after Vista and Office ship.Be sure to keep checking the Help > Check for Updates command regularly after relase of all the 2007 products to be alerted when a maintenance upgrade is available.ted
