Unabl;e to create PDFs within other applicaiton

Unable to create PDF's in Office 2010 (32 bit) with Acrobat 10 (Windows 7). Adobe printer fails in Excel, Word, etc. Using the Adobe Tab returns an error message "You have selected an invalid Conversion Job Option. Please select a valid Job Option before running PDFMaker."
 
When I attempt to change the PDFmaker Settings in the preferences option under the Acrobat Tab I get an "The parameter is incorrect" error message. Press OK in the error box and the Acrobat PDF Setting dialog box appears, but the conversion setting is blank and there are no options to change the Coversion Settings.
 
I am able to create PDF's by right clicking a file or using the create command within Acrobat.
 
Any idea what is causing the problem in Office 2010 (same issue trying to print from Firefox) and how it can be fixed? I've done the typical numerous re-installs, but no change.
 
Thanks.

Do you have your copy of Office personalized?

Can you check if you can find the job options in C:\programdata\adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings?

Do you have any files in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings?Also, do you have the following set?
1. Open Control Panel/"Regional and Language Settings" dialog
2. Click the "Customize" button on "Regional Options" tab
3. Choose period as "Decimal Symbol". Press OK, Apply
