Acrobat X Pro: No PDFMaker tools in Word 2003

Hi all,
Although Adobe says that Acrobat X is compatible with Word 2003, PDFMaker did not install (in Word or any other of my Office apps) when I installed the Acrobat X Pro package today. No ribbon, no add-in menus, nothing.
I have tried manually adding the .DLL COM add-ins, but all I get is Word saying that it's not a valid add-in. Acrobat is not on the disabled list (no apps are), but it just will not install.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Office 2003, CS4 Design Standard and newly-installed Acrobat X Professional (and yes, I uninstalled Acrobat 9 Pro prior to installing X).
Any help would be appreciated. I know I can just print to the PDF printer, but that will not include the in-document bookmarks I need to generate.
Thanks.

They do indeed indicate it should be compatible. When you say it did not install, I assume you simply mean there is no Adobe menu in WORD. You will have to go to place in WORD where you permit other macros. Typically what happens is that it does not show because WORD has not allowed it in their system. That is an option you must activate.

  • Acrobat PDFMaker addin in Word 2003

    After Upgrading from Acrobat 8 to 9, the addin in Word 2003 is missing and word did not start properly until it automatically removing whatever was left of the former addin. I am trying the manual installation but I cannot find the ".dot" file needed, only the .dll for Word2007 is available but for that it was automatically installed without problems. I work with Win XP64. I have upgraded acrobat 8 to 9 because the pdf printer was not working after some time. I've been told the same was observed with acrobat 7, but reinstallation of the acrobat was much faster in that earlier version. I read and download pdfs with a suite of internet browsers everyday and I have had many problems, such as missing fonts, incomplete downloads, freezing of the browsers, reinstalling web browsers several times, shutting down frozen adobe processes, etc.
    Thanks for your support.

    Hi,
    maybe you want to delete both programs!
    Restart, check that everything is clean.
    And reinstall first word then Acrobat!

  • Is Acrobat Standard 10 incompatible with Windows Microsoft Word 2003, v 11.8?

    An Acrobat Add-In has to be disabled for me to open a Word file.  If the Add-In is disabled I cannot create a .pdf.  The error dialog box attributes the problem to a runtime error due to program c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\winword exe.  An associated dialog box says that Runtime is shutting down Adobe Acrobat 10 early because the security is too high.  But putting Word Macro Security setting on medium and then on low doesn't help.  Nor does telling a Microsoft security box that Adobe.com is a trusted site.  I have spent critical hours trying to fix this, without result.  I would appreciate whatever help I can get.  I didn't have any trouble creating .pdf files with Acrobat 9.  Tks. DWI. 

    Word 2003 is compatible with the PDF Maker macro for Acrobat X Std. What OS are you running? Have you tried to load the PDF Maker macro manually?
    Exit all programs.
    Select Tools > Customize, and click the Commands tab.
    Click Tools in the Categories panel.
    Drag COM Add-ins from the Commands panel to the Tools menu while holding down the mouse button. When the Tools menu displays the menu commands, drag COM Add-ins just below the Customize option, and then release the mouse button.
    Click Close.
    Click COM Add-ins on the Tools menu.
    Click Add, locate the add-in (the PDFMaker Add-in is at [Acrobat Installation Path]\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddIn.dll), and click OK.
    Press Alt+F11 to start the Visual Basic Editor.
    Press Ctrl+G to start the Immediate Window of Visual Basic Editor.
    To start PDFMaker in Word, type Application.COMAddIns("PDFMaker.OfficeAddin").Connect = True. Close the Visual Basic Editor.
    Verify that the Adobe PDF menu now appears to the right of Help on the Microsoft Word menu bar.
    Also, renaming the global template file, Normal.dot, sometimes helps resolve the issue. There are instructions at the bottom of this article from Microsoft that explain how to do this.

  • How do I upload Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and other tools with the Pro onto my new computer?

         Since I am already a customer of Adobe, I need to know how to upload Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and the other tools that go with both programs onto my new Windows 7 HP computer without having to fill out a new customer form or without having to pay for another Adobe membership as a new member?  I need to know what to do step-by-step so that I can upload my Adobe reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and the other tools for the Reader and the Acrobat XI Pro.
         You may send the step-by-step instructions to my e-mail address of [email address removed by host].
         Thank you!

    I have been trying to start my subscription again for my Acrobat XI Pro and for the annual subscription of the PDF Export for Word and Excel.  The PDF Export expired according to my subscription list, but, I think that I had cancelled my Acrobat XI Pro of $ 29.99 monthly, so, I am wanting to presubscribe for it again, but, when I try to put my Code in for my Debit Card, it will not register with your company.
    So, I do not know what to do to get it back again with my monthly and annually subscription payments for PDF Export and for Acrobat XI Pro.  I have already downloaded the Adobe Reader XI onto my computer so I am set for that product.  I just do not know what to do about the PDF Export and the Acrobat XI Pro to be able to get them started once again.

  • Calibri font not printing - created with Acrobat XI pro 11.0.4 in Word 2007

    Hi, we recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat XI pro (11.0.4) and when we create a PDF in Word using the Calibri fonts, it doesn't print when using Adobe Reader X.
    Prints ok when using Quark or other software, just not working with Office.

    Thanks for your answer.
    We are in a controlled office environment and unfortunately we cannot receive updates due to company policies. We have to wait until they do another "package" with an upgraded version.
    It's printing ok with Adobe Reader XI, but not Reader X (which is our actual default Reader). And again they cannot install Reader XI to all (only me since I'm a graphic designer, I have admin rights). We tried on other printers, not working too. Font is embeded too. It's working when using another PDF maker (like we have PDF X Change, it's working). Was working also with our previous Acrobat X Pro.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Portfolio Editing Tools Disappeared?

    Hello, I created a portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro. I saved the file. When I reopen the file, all of my editing tools which are usually in a menu bar on the top of the document, are no longer available to me, ie. the "form", "multi-media" tabs. There is only one tool menu with a "modifiy" tab, which I set to "edit", but the only tools that become available to me are the "edit portfolio tools" that show up on the right hand side of the screen. How do I get back to a point where I can edit this document and add multi-media files?
    I attached a pic of what the program looks like now, without the tools I need.
    Please help
    Robyn

    What you are seeing is correct. The tools you are looking for (form, multi-media, etc) are all PDF document editing tools. However, a portfolio file isn't actually a document. It's a collection of files pulled together in a sort of a PDF wrapper.
    The official definition from the help documentation:
    A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. The files in a PDF Portfolio can be in different formats and created in different applications. For example, suppose you have a project that includes text documents, email messages, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, and PowerPoint presentations. You could combine all of these documents into a PDF Portfolio. The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. Users can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio.
    You can add multi-media files to the portfolio a number of ways, most commonly this is done via drag/drop, clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the portfolio window when it's in edit mode (what you have pictured), or selecting those same options (add files, add existing folder) from the modify menu in the portfolio toolbar.

  • Acrobat X Pro: Put commenting tools in toolbar (like 9 Pro)??

    I just udated from CS 4 to CS 5.5. I am hoping I am dead wrong, but when I open Acrobat X Pro the commenting interface looks just like Reader X. There does not seem to be a way of placing commenting tools on the toolbar, as you could in version 9 Pro. I use these features every day for several hours.
    Please: someone tell me I am wrong about this: I really need to set it up much more like 9.

    Right-click the toolbar and select Quick Tools... There you can select
    which tools to place on the toolbar that appears at the top of the
    application, including the Commenting tools.

  • PDFMaker for MS Word 2003 posts UnCheckout on UnSaved documents

    Hi
    We are getting a very strange unexpected bahavior with the PDFMaker plug-in for MS Word.
    Use Case:
    1. A user opens a MS Word document hosted in SharePoint.
    2. Makes some changes to the document but does not hit the save button.
    3. User uses Toolbar Icon or uses Adobe PDF=>Convert to Adobe PDF menu option to convert the document to PDF
    The plugin sucessfully converts the document to PDF with the latest changes in it. But, somehow fires an Undo Checkout onto the document and all the changes in the document are lost. (And as an observation, this behavior is not observed with PPT files)
    If steps 1-3 are performed on a .doc file present in local system drive; the plug-in pops-up a message saying
    "Acrobat PDFMaker needs to save the file before continuing.
    Do you want PDFMaker to save the file and continue?"
    Now my question(s) is/are
    1. Why plug-in didn't display any message for the document when edited from SharePoint?
    2. Do we have any fix/updates to address the issue.
    To help is diagnosis my environment details are
    1. Windows XP SP3
    2. MS Word 2003 SP3
    3. SharePoint 2007
    4. Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
    5. Could not figure out the version of PDFMaker plug-in
    Ref: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/754639?tstart=0

    Hi Michael
    Thanks for your reply.
    But, my question is why the PDFMaker plug-in does not display a "Save" message when the file is edited from SharePoint?

  • Acrobat standard 6 user defined bookmark from word 2003

    Hi..
    I've been trying to convert word 2003 documents to pdf using acrobat standard 6. All seems fine except the user defined bookmarks in the word document.
    The bookmarks work fine from the bookmark pane but when accessing them through the hyperlinks within the document the destinations are wrong. The pointer will jump to the page it is in or maybe 1-2 two pages adjusent to the page the bookmark actually is in.
    Can someone help me with fixing this problem?
    Cheers!

    Steven,
    If it happened after an uninstall as you indicated, you may have to go to the add/remove in the control panel and do a repair on Acrobat. If the printer works, then you need to check that PDF Maker also works (it uses the printer). Asking about the printer was the first check and it passed.
    I am not good at the PDF Maker options, but looks like that is the problems.
    For MrEclipseguy, you need to be looking at the same options. Check things out in WORD first and then play with the other part. In WORD, there are issues with enabling the toolbar that is highlighted in other topics. I do not remember the solution.

    I don't understand how this has to do with the Acrobat SDK.  This sounds more like an Acrobat question.
    You need to determine what version of Acrobat you have installed (current version is Acrobat X, and we support back to Acrobat 8) and then post that information in the Acrobat end user area - this area is for Developers.

  • CS3 - Acrobat 8 Pro - stopped converting MS apps Word/Publisher/Excel

    Hello,
    SUDDENLY after having no trouble with this for 2 years, I get the message in the attached image whenever I try to convert a MS app document from Word, Publisher or Excel.
    Also cannot print to PDF from a web page or as a work around to the MS problem
    I can pdf from any of the CS programmes fine. I can even so screen captures and create a pdf from the clipboard image.
    Coincidentally at the same time another weird thing happened....I found the Selection tool in Illustrator stopped behaving in its normal way and acts like the Direct Selection tool and I now have to use the Free Transform tool to change the size of an object.  The shop I do work for also has CS3, which was bought at the same time as my copy, and that Illustrator has the same problems!  We do ferry files back and forth between us, so did one of us cause this to the other?
    Did something happen in the recent CPSID 46197 update for Acrobat Pro  8 1 6 ???
    More important...any help for this?
    Thanks!

    OK...I found the answer to the Illy thing in the Illy forum...which is where I first should have looked!
    The bounding box view was "hidden".... a click too far at the shop probably.

  • Acrobat Pro not working in Office Word 2003

    Hi!
    Im having troubles with my Acrobat Pro 9.0 in office 2003.
    The Acroat plugins in word are not working, the "acrobat-PDF" button is not working at all, when i select or press something in the dropdown menu nothing happens. the workaround on saving my files is to go to File > print as a PDF document.
    After i finish typing my document and add a few links to webpages and "mailto" links and save/print it to a PDF file, some of the links work and other dont.
    So does anyone know how i can get all my links to work? or even be able to use the "acrobat plugin/buttons" in the word program?
    The guy on suport phone told me its a setting problem that needs to be adjusted.
    TY in advance / Nkla

    Nikola,
    Have you checked the properties of the Adobe PDF printer in your Printers and Faxes menu? You may need to make some changes regarding the settings here.

  • Blurry text in Acrobat X Pro when creating PDF from Word 2010

    I created a  PDF document from Word 2010 and while most of the pages and formatting looks fine, about 1/5 of the pages have blurry Arial 10 pt text (it looks as if it was Arial bold out of focus). Has anyone experienced this problem?

  • Is there any way to save an Adobe Acrobat X Pro pdf file as a Word file WITHOUT section breaks?

    I need to save (export) several pdf files as Word files. I need the Word files to NOT have  section breaks. Is this possible to do?  I have tried the options in the Settings (Retain flowing text; Retain page layout) but it does not help.

    Actually when thate are saved as Word what you see on the screen is what you get in Word. Where the lines end show as returns so you may have to hand remove all returns to join all parts of a sentence. So there may be  section breaks or page breaks that you have to remove.  

  • Acrobat XI Pro Word 2013 add-in stopped working
