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.
Bruce

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 XI Pro crashes Office 2007 Powerpoint when converting to pdf

I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 x64 and Office 2007. I also have Acrobat XI Pro. When I convert a .ppt powerpoint file to .pdf, powerpoint stops working.
When I click Convert to pdf, Acrobat prepares the slides and then begins publishing and about 1/4 of the way through I get a message that powerpoint has stopped working.
I have run the Office Diagnostics and it found nothing.
I have reinstalled Acrobat and it didn't help
Is there a compatibility issue? Would an older version of Acrobat Pro work such as Acrobat 9 or 10?
Is there an Acrobat Preference that I could change that would solve the problem?
Thanks
Tracy

Thank you, it actually turned out to be the specific document, other
powerpoints converted without error.
Thanks, and Have a Great Day,

Acrobat 9 Pro and Office 2007 - Incompatibility??

I have been reading comments on other forums about a compatibility issues between these two softwares. See Amazon product feedback reviews on Acrobat 9 Pro for example.
Is this a issue users here are experiencing?.

Some of what I saw was someone coming to AA9 from AA5. For OFFICE 2007 he had no choice if he wanted the PDF Maker functionality. There is likely an issue, possibly with either AA9 or OFFICE not being updated. Being sure you are up to date is important. Currently AA9 appears to have no updates, only an add-on. However, it may be that OFFICE 2007 has updates, in fact likely. The bottom line is that the complaints did not provide enough information to see if it was an AA9 problem, MS problem, or a user problem. Enough folks seem to have survived the transition successfully, it is a good chance that the latter problem may be the issue in that forum.
The comment on support is not new in concept. That has been a complaint for as long as I can remember with past versions too. I think it was with AA5 that I started coming to the forum, and that was the move that saved me a lot of time and frustration (other than I now spend a lot of time on the forum).
For comments about compatibility, I would search this forum and see what others have had problems with and the solutions that have been suggested. I think you will get a much better feel for the compatibility. Two of the comments on the link praised the software.

SLOW PRINTING to Acrobat 8 Pro from Office 2007 on OS Win 7 Pro after updating to 2.0-2.3 ...???

Everything worked fine for a while. Keeping machine updated and such. Yes have older version Acrobat Pro 8 and downloaded the update files and slowly working through updating. Now on version 2.3. I noticed before that version 3.0 and 3.1 were not allowing me to create pdfs via the Acrobat icon. At the time I could print via "print", but some Office programs were missing Acrobat ICON too.
Now, my problem: I can't print directly from Office. I can't print within Acrobat. It takes an extremely long, long time (longest wait was about 1/2 hour) to print just one page of text. I found that if I first print using Microsoft's XPS printer function (but only through Acrobat, again, not directly via the XPS print function), then I can easily convert that to a PDF. I've been in the habit of sending PDFs and not everyone is familiar with XPS, so don't want to send that type of file.
Can anyone help in determining why printing PDF is sooooo slow or not printing at all?
Thanks.

Batch Processing .doc 2 .pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2004 on Tiger

I have been through the forum posts and for each relavent thread there is the easy batch process that can be done to solve this issue - however, the major flaw I have is (as seen in the attachment) no option to be able to open Word docs. How do I enable Acrobat Pro to be able to open word docs??!?!? It really is an answer I have not been able to find on the web anywhere!

Then what do you make of this persons post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1098036#1098036
"Create a new batch sequence. Select 'Run commands on Selected Folder'. In the source file options enable 'Microsoft Office Word'. Then let run the sequence."
I am able to work out the whole process except in my Acrobat there is no option for "Microsoft Word" as Bernd suggests - how do I get it on the list.

Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2007 Problem

I posted this in the CS3 forum originally. They told me to post here too.
Issue:
When logged in as a local user (no admin rights) Word 2007 will crash the whole computer when you type a key.
The reason I am posting on Adobe forums is that this only happens when CS3 is installed as well on the same computer.
Troubleshooting:
Both products work fine as a local user account, if only one or the other are installed.
During login, Acrobat Pro will display a MSI/Installer progress bar for about 30secs. After I updated Acrobat to 8.1.3, that stops, but the Word crashing problem doesn't.
When starting Office, setup runs everytime. It shows just a progress bar and goes for about 1min.
On a doc, if I wait about 5min and don't do anything. A MSI install progress bar will run for "MS Office 2007 Pro", this will re-spawn for several mins. until it finally stops. After that, Word IS usable.
No other problems with CS3.
Fully updated both CS3 and Office 2007
This could very well be an Office issue, but it is associated with CS3 also being installed on the same computer.
Any help would be great!

Forgot again! Using XP Pro sp2 and sp3.

Acrobat X Pro - PDFMAKER Office COM in Access 2010

Hi,
I have Office 2013 and Access 2010 installed on my computer. I cannot get the PDFMAKER plugin to work with Access 2010. I tried to manually register the DLL and enabling the plugin. Is this becuase I have MS Office 2013 installed alongside Access 2010. Any info would be great since we run reports in Access and need to ability to merge all the pages in the reports. This was working on another machine that only had office 2010.
Nick

Don't remember if it was AA X or AA XI when support for ACCESS ended. That may be the issue. The compatibility chart at Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications suggests that ACCESS does not work for OFFICE 2013 and PDF Maker, but does for ACCESS 2010 on AA X (only version of Acrobat that worked with ACCESS 2010. AA XI does not work with ACCESS. Since you mention both OFFICE 2013 and ACCESS 2010, there may be an issue with 2010 really being the application running (check the help file for About Access for the version). Of course, Acrobat may be confused too, so you may have to activate the addon for ACCESS 2010.

Error converting office 2003 apps to pdf - acrobat 9 pro

I have today upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and I cant anymore convert to pdf from my office 2003 applications. (outlook - word - xl). It does however, converts from the Internet Explorer.
Printing directly to the adobe printer from word - xl doesnt work either.
Everything was working fine prior to the upgrade.
I reinstalled the OS (Windows Vista Ultimate) and performed a clean installation of Acrobat 9 Pro but still doesnt work.
It must be a bug related only to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and office 2003 and I am surprised that I cant find anything in the forum. (Ive searched a few hours prior to opening this topic)
Any help please please please?
Thanks and regards,
Christos

In AA8 (I assume AA9 is similar) you simply open Distiller, select Settings and click on Add Adobe PDF Settings. However, you have to have a file to add. In vista, the standard location for the jobsettings files is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. I have 9 files there by default. They are also located under Settins in the Acrobat 8 folder (Program Files>Adobe) I would have to go to other machines to find the standard locations for those systems, but you might be able to search on line for "Acrobat <OS system> joboptions" with the appropriate OS listed. To see the current setup, open Distiller and check the settings files that are available.<br /><br />If there are none listed in Distiller, but they are on your system, then you might simply try to add. There are some joboptions files available online from several publishers for folks that submit manuscripts to their magazines. That might be an excellent place to get a file if you can not find one. Simply put it into the appropriate folder and use the Add menu in Distiller to add the file.

Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2007 with Acrobat X Pro

We are currently migrating to Windows 7 x86, Acrobat X Pro, and Office Pro Plus 2010 SP1. Our old setup is Windows XP, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Office 2007. We are using SharePoint 2007. On our older machines, we are able to open and edit PDFs without any problems. However, on our newer machines with Acrobat X, we get this error whenever we open a PDF for editing:
The document could not be opened for editing. A Windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
All of our XP users can open and edit documents without any problems--only our newly migrated Windows 7 users are unable to edit these documents. Is there a setting that I need to adjust in Acrobat X? I don't recall seeing any Acrobat X specific options in SharePoint configuration. Thanks!
EDIT: I was able to open and edit a PDF document using the following steps:
1. Click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check Out."
2. In the check-out dialog box, check "Use my local drafts folder." Click OK.
3. Back in SharePoint, click on document to open--click OK to message warning about malicious files.
4. Edit document, then click Save button. Close Acrobat.
5. Back in SharePoint, click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check In."
6. Confirm the check-in.
7. Redirected back to document library and the modified date and by fields are updated.
This seems like an awful amount of steps. Is there a way to make this function the same when a user edits a Word or Excel document?
Message was edited by: jprateragg
Added info under EDIT.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.

Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown

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!

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

Good Afternoon,
We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

I had Acrobat XI Pro Trial installed on W8.1, and I had to uninstall it because issues with MS Office 2010. Now I try to reinstall Acrobat and It does not allow me to use the trial version anymore even it was not over. What to do??

Well, I had installed in my new computer a trial version from Acrobat XI Pro, but I had issues with Microsoft Word 2010, since it did not allow me to save changes on my file. I uninstalled it from my computer before the trial period was over, and then, after I solved the issue with Office, I wanted to get it back for a time, but the installer does not allow me to choose Trial Version. I can reach that screen where you choose between key and trial, but once I press trial and click on next, it does absolutely nothing at all.
I have tried to manually delete folders, and I even used CC Clean to make a registry set up, but nothing out of that is working for me at all, and it keeps happening. I have no really idea what to do, and I kinda need to use Acrobat immediately for a file.

The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

Office 2007 and Acrobat 9 pro?

Hello everyone -- Does anyone know if Office 2007 will work with Acrobat 9 pro. I was happily using Office 2003 and Outlook to save my e-mail in indexed pdf portfolios. I could search all e-mail folders and keep separate files for each e-mail correspondent. In addition, I could open attachments from within the pdf document. My entire filing system is dependent on being able to do this. I was forced to upgrade Office 2003 (because microsoft mistakenly assumed my copy was illegal even though it wasn't, but that's another story). Microsoft no longer sells Office 2003, so I bought Office 2010. That program is a disaster for me for many reasons. I would be willing to adjust if I could keep saving my outlook e-mail as I was able to do before, but from what I can tell that is going to be impossible. So I'm thinking of downgrading to Office 2007? Does anyone know if that will work. I'd be very grateful for some helpful info. I have been around in circles with both Adobe and Microsoft. Thanks.

Hello,
I'm sorry to tell you this, but I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum! This forum is for questions pertaining to Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com) and we aren't able to provide specific guidance for questions or issues regarding Acrobat desktop software. That said, Acrobat 9 should have no problem working with Office 2007; it shipped after Office 2007 had come out, and will almost certainly be compatible. You may want to corroborate this information by reposting your question in the Acrobat forums:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/index.php
Best of luck!
Kind regards,
Rebecca

Adobe Acrobat XI pro caused MS Office Visio 2003 problem.

I installed Adobe Acrobat XI pro, but it caused problem.
Each time I open MS Office Visio 2003, I get the warning message:
Visio找不到此附加元件或它的某個檔案。
發生了錯誤而且這個功能無法在再正常運作，您要立即修復這個功能嗎？
If Chinese is not available for my question, please refer to the following translation:
“Visio can not find the add-ons or one of its files.
An error is occurred and this function can not work properly, do you want to repair this function now?”
I clicked “Yes”, and the Visio add-ons are installed.
Once MS Office Visio 2003 is closed and opened again, the above story will happen again.
What is the problem and how to solve it?
p.s., Acrobat can be lunched/opened without any problem.

For creating a PDF from OFFICE 2003 with AA XI, you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2003 is not compatible with the AA XI PDF Maker that was updated to work with the newer versions of OFFICE.
