Hello!
I've just bought a pc with Windows Vista and Office 2007 SP2.
I've installed my Adobe Acrobat 8 and updated till 8.1.6.
The problem is that in Word I don't have any acrobat bar and the only way to create a pdf is use the printer.
I can see the PDFMaker addin but it's inactive and there's no way to activate it.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.

P.S. It only happens with Word. In Excel and PowerPoint I can normally see the acrobat tab.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 8 professional for nearly three years
without complications, however recently I updated the software to 8.1.4
and now I’m unable to convert Microsoft Office 2003 documents to PDF.
I've tried every suggestion given on the website, and
some which were not. Currently I'm using "DesktopPDF" software,
which work fine, but I would feel much better if I could use Adobe Acrobat 8 pro as it was designed, rather than the free DesktopPDF .

Is there an effective remedy for this problem? I'm using Vista Home Edition
Operating system, I've tried, to enable it, and Addon, I've repaired
both Adobe and Microsoft office, several times and still the problem
exist. If I had the original installation desk I would reinstall it,
but unfortunately it was destroyed in a fire. What can I do other
than purchase the software again, which I refuse to do? I know I'm
not the only one with this problem, there has to be a way to resolve
it, a download, a patch, delete the update, or something. Can you
help?

You mentioned that you have tried enabling the add-in? Were you successful in doing that? If not, was there an error message?
