Acrobat 10 comparability with Word in Office 2000

I am still using Office 2000 (cause I like it so please don't suggest I upgrade to a newer version of Office) and having installed a new hard-drive downloaded the trial version of Acrobat X. If I like it then planning to buy it. When Acrobat X is installed, Word locks up during launch but if I remove Acrobat X (add/remove programs in control panel) then Word works perfectly. This was not the case with an earlier version of Adobe on another computer (don't remember how many versions ago) but this feels like there is some new feature in Acrobat X that is incompatible with Word 2000. The same problem happens whether I am using XP - service pack 3 or Windows 7 so I don't think this is an OS issue. As background this machine is a Dell Latitude E5400 with an Intel P8700 dual core processor running at 2.53 Gig with 2 Gig of Ram. Any ideas on a solution? Does Adobe sell earlier versions of Acrobat? Thanks,

Does Adobe sell earlier versions of Acrobat?
No.
Regarding compatibility of Acrobat / MS Word versions; if using the PDFMaker installed by Acrobat you'll want to review
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
which address PDFMaker compatible applications.
Acrobat 8 was the last version to support MS Office 2000 applications.
Be well...

Hello,

I went to "https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/bi" and looked at "BEx Compatibility of MS Operating Systems and Office Products" but in the part with the Bex 7.10 itr doesn't say anything about the Office 2000, but it sayas about offic 97, XP, 2003 and 2007.
But when I see the Bex 3.x it says 2000, 2003, XP and 2007.
Is it compatible Bex 7.1 with Windows XP + Office 2000????
It's very urgent.
Thnak you in advance.

Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional and Office 2000, no PDF's

Everything was working fine till this morning and has been that way for a few years. I can convert to PDF with all files except .doc files. I have the icons in place in the WORD toolbar. When I click on a CONVERT TO PDF, it prompts for the name and I supply this. It then seems to start doing the conversion and then I am left with a blank page and the file has not been converted. I have looked through all the possible causes and remedies but I am still stuck.I have re-installed OFFICE 2000 and then done DETECT & REPAIR under the help menu and also in the add/remove programs.
HELP!!
Thanks
Peter

I don't think Acrobat 7 can recognize Office 2007 files; Acrobat 7 was released way before Office 2007.

No Adobe PDF menu in Office 2000 after installing Acrobat 9

Hello everybody, I have an urgent problem.
Preliminaries: I use Windows XP (SP3), with 2 GB RAM. Until yesterday, I had an installation of Adobe CS2 Premium. Acrobat 7 professional comes with the PDFMaker plug-in for Office, so I could create PDF files directly from Word... and all was well.
But: yesterday, I installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard *without removing CS2 first* (after having made sure this was possible -- for the time being, I'll have to run Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign CS2 'parallel' to their CS4 cousins, as I'm in the middle of a large project). I was aware of the fact that Acrobat is a 'jealous' program, and that installing Acrobat 9 Pro (which is shipped with my version of CS4) would uninstall ('upgrade', the CS4 installer calls it) the previous version of Acrobat. OK, no problem... or so I thought.
However, I now no longer have an "Adobe Acrobat" menu or tool bar in Word (nor in Excel, nor in any other Office 2000 application). Apparently, the PDFMaker plug-in isn't installed (or doesn't work with Office 2000?).
So -- what should I do? There's a PDFMaker folder in the Acrobat 9 folder tree, but I have absolutely no idea how to proceed. Is there any way to install the plug-in manually?
And, if the PDFMaker plug-in does not work with Office 2K, are ther any other Office plugins out there to help me create PFD files directly from Word?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Just a quick follow up; I had seen several fixes that directed the user to click on the help menu, then choose "disabled items" then enable the pdf item...the only problem was that when I clicked on the Help menu, there was nothing referencing "disabled items"! In frustration, I finally called Adobe tech support, and the person I spoke with had me click on Help, then About Microsoft Office Word...lo and behold! at the bottom right was a button labeled "disabled items". Problem solved; hope at least one person reads this and avoids the frustration of looking for something in the wrong place.
Ok, so it wasn't a quick follow-up...sorry!

WinHelp 2000 with Word 2003

My company asked me to learn Robohelp and create a document,
so I learned from Adobe Robohelp 6 but they supplied me with
Macromedia X5. The HTML part works fine, but I need to create a
Winhelp 2000 hlp. output. When I import Word documents into Winhelp
2003, it spews out error messages, jumbles exhibits and headings,
and created Topics and Mid-topic IDs at random--that is, when it
doesn't lock up completely. Am I missing something? I downloaded
updates, so it should work with Word 2003, but its lack of function
is appaling. I have lost days trying to install and then debug this
software on this and am desperate. Is there a fix or a workaround?
I have downloaded a converter for chm to hlp, but it doesn't
output with the proper skin. Help! (And thanks)

Hi
Microsoft offers a compatibility pack for earlier versions of Office that allows, for instance, Word 2003 to open Word 2007 documents. More info:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/open-a-word-2007-document-in-an-earlier-versio n-of-word-HA010044473.aspx
There will be some Docx features that behave differently or are substituted when opened in Word 2003. These are listed in the second web page link.

Acrobat 9 toolbar in word 2000

I'm running windows xp I installed Acrobat 9 and I'm using Microsoft 2000 and I don't have the toolbar to create a pdf in word. I tried the View>toolbar but the acrobat toolbar is not there to add. I looked on the adobe folder on the computer and thePDFMOFFICE.dll is present and I even deleted the Normal.dot file from word. I am out of ideas.
Thanks

Bon Dias,
Unfortunately, Acrobat 9's PDFMaker does not support Office 2000.
A good reference resource is:
Acrobat PDF-capable web browsers and PDFMaker-compatible applications (Acrobat 6.x - 9.x on Windows and Mac OS)
(TechNote ID: 333504)
The Acrobat PDF-capable web browser and the PDFMaker-compatible applications tables provide the pertinent information.
The PDFMaker-compatible applications table correlates applications to Acrobat 6, 7, 8, & 9.

Acrobat 9 is not working with Word 2010: why?

I cannot get Acrobat 9 to make a PDF document from Word documents made with Word 2010, either by 'Creat from file' in Acrobat or by using Acrobat PDF Maker in Word. This has happened before when I first used Word 2001, but a later version of Acrobat solved that problem. Is the same sort of thing happening with Office 2010? If not, what can I do.

print to the Adobe PDF printer if all else fails
Thank you for that; it's nice to know that Acrobat will eventually work with Word 14, though not yet. I've tried printing with the Adobe PDF printer, and it doesn't use the proper fonts either, so I'd be better saving as a PDF document from Word. But perhaps I'll get better results with saving to PS first.
Meanwhile, I'll treat Adobe's claim that with Acrobat 9 you can make PDF from any document with a large pinch of salt.

Acrobat 9 Pro w/ Office 2000 Observation

Having installed Acrobat 9 Professional I find that the Convert to Adobe PDF buttons (PDF Maker) are no longer are present in any Office applications (Word, Excel or Outlook). They dont exist as available tool bar options. Reading the help file it appears that this feature should be available.
Ive done a Repair of Acrobat 9 as well as a re-install. Ive also renamed the Word normal.dot file and re-booted. Nothing has helped. Reading recent postings and FAQs I find information about previous versions of Acrobat but nothing current. The print to Adobe PDF functions correctly.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't there a way (plug-in) to allow support for office 2000?
Is support removed for office 2003 as well?
(it is, I believe a wrong and unjustified decision to remove support for office 2000)

Acrobat causing problems with Outlook/Word

The following sequence generates an error
Open an e-mail message in Outlook using Word as my editor
Close the message and close Outlook
The error is "Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." If I disable Acrobat in Office and Outlook (when Acrobat is installed), I don't get the error. So, the error seems to be Acrobat related. The computer is running Windows XP, Office 2003 and Acrobat Pro 9.2.0. Windows and Office have all the most recent service packs and updates. Previous versions of Acrobat have been installed on this computer at one time (version 7 I think and perhaps other versions). The computer also has Adobe Reader 8.1.7 installed.
What can I do to get rid of these error messages without disabling Acrobat in Office?
Thanks for your help.

I had noted your comment about earlier versions, but it has been a problem for several versions. I had not heard about it lately, so it may have been an issue with WORD 2003 and not WORD 2007. WORD 2007 and Acrobat have other problems, but I have not heard about the Outlook issue.
The message you listed is posted in the MS knowledgebase and one of the items (not necessarily related to Acrobat) recommends an update to OFFICE. That is something that is often overlooked and may be is the fix you are looking for. At least it would be a good idea to run an update on OFFICE and see if that fixes the problem. Even if it does not, the update is probably a good idea (most folks never seem to think about updating office, though Windows updates almost daily at times). Bill

Report generation toolkit problem with office 2000 and office XP

Hello, I am having a problem with running my vi after it is compiled with application builder. The dev machine is an XP box and the targer is windows 2000. I included _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi and _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from the office 2000 section of the install cd (for the report toolkit) in the compile but did not include those files for XP. When I run the application on the target machine (2000), the reporting functions call Excel just fine and the program does not come up with any errors. The program however, is not loading the approprate template and inserting the approprate data. Did I leave some neccessary files out of the compile? Thanks in advance!

Hi Acer,
The recommended procedure in your case is to install Microsoft Office 2000 on the development machine and then reinstall the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit. When the toolkit is installed, it will check for the current version of Office and install the corresponding VIs to support it. The VIs include different ActiveX calls according to the version of Office. Therefore it is not enough to change the support manually without having the correct version of Office installed first.
However, I would recommend that you just try to run your executable on a machine that has Office 2000 installed. The difference in the ActiveX API for Office XP and 2000 is not that significant, so your application might work perfectly on an Office 2000 machine. If you try to run the executable on a machine with Office 97 installed I'm willing to bet my right arm that you will experience errors.
Good luck Acer!

I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

Can I create an exe with report gen addon using office 2000 and run it on a PC with XP?

I have create an executable using the report generation toolkit on a PC that has Office 2000. When I load the executable on a PC with office XP, It will not launch excel. Should the exe be compatible with either version of office? What do I need to do to make it work on both versions?

Hi Budman,
You should have created the executable in the way as is described here.
On your target machine you have to use the _wordsub.llb resp. _excelsub.llb which belongs to the MS Office version of that machine. The different versions are on the installation CD of the toolkit.
If you have these files in the support directory you do not need to create different exes for different MS Office versions.

What settings do I need to get best quality Word (mac office 2011) to Acrobat 9?And what is best method, save as from Word, or create from Acrobat?

Thank you Steve! For the benefit of anyone following this thread, if Acrobat tab does not show in Word
This add-in may be disabled in Word. We can try to re-enable it:
=============
1. Open Word program.
2. Click the Office button. Then click the Word Options button.
3. Click Add-Ins.
4. From the Manage dropdown list select Disabled Items and click Go.
5. Check the list for PDFMakerOfficeAddin:
1) If it is listed, then select it and click Enable. Close all dialog boxes and restart the Word program.
2) If it is not listed, then make sure that PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is located in the ‘…/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 8.0/PDFMaker/Office’ folder. If the file is missing, then reinstall Acrobat.

Is Office 2000 compatible with RoboHelp 7?

We are planning to buy RoboHelp7. But, cannot buy Office
2007. Is RoboHelp7 compatible with Office 2000 (our exisitng
version)?
Thanks in advance,
Meenakshmi

Problems -
Currently, we are using Office 2000 and RH6. Now, we are
planning to upgrade to RH7. We downloaded the trial version to
check the compatibitiy. We compiled the exisitng RH6 projects with
the RH7. It was found that pages with links are not displaying at
all. We imported them from another project. But, some of then dod
not work after that. There are also some special characters in the
texts. We tried with Office 2007 and RH7. The problems were there
too. Can anyone advice whether this is some bug? We applied the
vailable patch. But nothing happened.
Should we go for the upgrade?
