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.

  • Problem with Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin

    I have recently installed MS Office 2010 on my W7 system but find that the Acrobat addin for MS Word 2010 is not working -- it gives errors messages and recommends that I disable the addin.
    This all used to work fine with MS Word 2007.
    Is there anything that can be done about this problem. Is there an upgrade for the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin ?
    Gerry

    Kelly,
    Whilst the main reason for 64 bit Office is large and complex Excel files, significant performance gains have been found in other usage scenarios, such as with lengthy and complex Word documents (especially when using complex plugins such as EndNote). It is in users' interests to use 64 bit Office if they can - but this is only possible if all their plug-ins support 64 bit Office.
    I see Microsoft's document as a classic support driven response (or should I call it a cop-out) - there are compatibility issues with non-Microsoft software, so, to eliminate the support burden, we will steer you towards the lowest common denominator of installing 32 bit Office even if you have an x64 OS. Whilst this makes a great deal of sense, in that many users will see no advantage in 64 bit Office, there are plenty of users, including myself, who would see advantages from 64 bit Office but are being prevented from moving to 64 bit Office because third party plug-in providers have yet to make 64 bit versions available.
    The situation with 64 bit Office plug-ins mirrors the situation with 64 bit Photoshop plug-ins, but with one key difference. Photoshop CS4, CS5 and CS5.1 (same as CS5; the apparent version bump indicates it was installed as part of Creative Suite 5.5) default to installing both 32 bit and 64 bit versions on x64 versions of Windows. You can therefore pick and choose which version of Photoshop you use according to which plug-ins you need. I'm now in the fortunate position of having 64 bit versions of all but two of the plug-ins I use regularly. I start the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5.1 if I need those plug-ins, but my default is the 64 bit version.
    Office 2010 requires you to choose between 32 bit and 64 bit; you cannot install both at the same time, and you cannot mix and match between different Office applications (so, for example, installing 64 bit Project 2010 alongside 32 bit Office Professional Plus 2010 is not supported and may cause problems - indeed, I'm not sure if the Project installer would allow you to install the 64 bit version if you had 32 bit Office applications already installed). This makes the unavailability of 64 bit versions of a single plugin that you require for one Office application a total bar to moving to 64 bit Office.
    Unfortunately, this creates a 'chicken and egg' effect - the apparent demand for 64 bit versions of Office plugins is reduced because the unavailability of 64 bit versions of a crucial plugin prevents a move to 64 bit Office. I, for one, have a clear intention to switch to 64 bit Office, and will not buy new products or pay to upgrade existing ones unless they support 64 bit Office. Many products that can hardly be said to be aimed at the Office power user have supported 64 bit Office for some while, including Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 and 11.0.
    I wholeheartedly welcome the support for some 64 bit Office applications in Acrobat 10.1, but urge Adobe to provide complete support for 64 bit Office 2010. Currently, 64 bit versions of Visio 2010, Project 2010, Access 2010 and Publisher 2010 are not yet supported in PDFMaker. Hopefully this support will be forthcoming in a future quarterly update.
    There is a mistake in your post - 64 bit Outlook 2010 is supported in Acrobat 10.1's PDFMaker. The issue with Outlook in the blog post you linked to is that Outlook 2010 doesn't have Microsoft's Save as PDF functionality - but if you have PDFMaker, using PDFMaker is the best option anyway.

    Hi,
    As the event log indicated, this is due to acrobat pdfmaker office com addin doesn't work well with Microsoft Word.
    I would suggest you go ahead and try to upgrade your Adobe product to the latest version and see if issue persists.
    Or contact the support of Adobe and see if there is a known compatibility issue or not.

  • Can't reenable "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin"

    While PDFing a document from Microsoft Word 2007 (using Acrobat 9), the process froze so I killed the Word process.
    Afterwards, I found that the Acrobat menu is now missing when I open a Word document.
    In "Word Options", the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin is disabled. However, I've tried renabling it with no luck - it remains disabled.
    I've tried also adding the COM to the registry, and running a repair, as described at this web page:
    http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=29
    Neither worked for me.
    Does anyone have any other ideas before I have to reinstall Acrobat?
    Thanks,
    P.

    Hi Alice,
    Unfortunately that didn't fix it for me, but I finally found a solution courtesy of a comment by "Joel" at this blog - I've rewritten it slightly here:
    http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=29#comment-8787
    Open Word 2007.
    Click on the Word icon. Go to the bottom of the window that is opened.
    Click Word Options.
    In the window opened, click “Add-ins”.
    On the body of this window, choose the Adobe string that appear under “disabled application add-in”.
    This is the crucial part: go to the bottom of this window, instead of "COM add-ins", Choose "Disabled Items". (This is where I was going wrong.)
    Click Go.
    In the Disabled Items dialog box displayed, select the Adobe addin and click Enable, then Close, then OK.
    Regards,
    P.

  • Adobe acrobat x pro - pdfmaker for Outlook 2010

    Using windows 7 pro 64 bit
    Microsoft office 32 bit
    I bought adobe acrobat x pro today thinking that would finally allow me again to use pdfmaker to back up folders
    I don't see this feature at all available in Outlook.

    In Outlook, go to File/Options/Add-Ins, and select Manage Com Add-ins, and click Go...
    Then make sure the PDFMaker Office COM Addin is checked, select OK, restart, and it should be available.

  • 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.

  • Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

    Hello,
    I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
    When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
    Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    Regards,
    Craig

    Hello,
    i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
    Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
    I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
    Cheers,

    This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
    This is the resultant PDF file:

    I recently upgraded to Microsoft 365 Home and use Outlook 2013. The Acrobat PDFMaker Addin worked fine in Office 2010. Now, I get an error message: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.

    I have restarted Outlook, restarted my computer, and nothing changes.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    I do not think that AA X is compatible with the newest versions of OFFICE and such. Your only choice is to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugins to create PDFs.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Log files when creating a pdf from PDFMaker Office COM addin

    Hello,
    I just bought Acrobat Standard to create pdfs on Word 2013.
    I'm making a catalog using this two softwares, Word 2013 (latest version with all updates) and Acrobat XI (latest version, 11.0.06). Unfortunately things are not working as I wish, and on some documents almost at the end of the transformation process, it can't save the pdf file or it gives a major word error, exiting word.
    When the transformation process is running/ending, are there any logs created to see what happens in case of errors?? If yes, where can I look up for them??

    Sorry, but when the pdf is created or not (like when happens on this particulary case), I don't see any logs on the same folder. 
    Let me try to explain my problem in depth.  I have a docx, a big file with 200 pages. It's created with Word 2013 but using the 2010 docx format for compatibility reasons. I beggun using the Word x64 but now I'm using the x86 and the problem happens on both and in the same ways. 
    First. If I try to convert the whole document, most of the times (I'd say 70%) the pdf doesn't get created or the rest of the times (30%) It causes a crash to Word with a dll error. Normally it halts (whether it doesn't create the pdf of halts word) at a certain page, after repaginanting all pages and when it says that is creating page nº X.
    I already pinpoint, more or less, where the error is. The error is located on the first pages, more exactly on the index pages. It's not a index created by the Word, it is a set of pages that I manually built with a grid of pictures with each one having a hyperlink to a designated bookmark to a desire page on the document. If I "pdfmaker" the rest of the whole document (without the index pages) I can get the pdf created.
    So, the index is where the problem resides. On this thread, http://forums.adobe.com/message/5816803#5816803 , you will see that I had a another problem due to the method used on Word 2003 about hyperlink of images that no longer works (when exporting to pdf) on the latests words versions, at least on the Word 2013. The pdf file was created with no problem, but on the pdf the hyperlinks were not created due to something that M$ has resolved to change between Word 2003 and Word 2007. I found a way to fix that (listed on that thread link). But as I like to invent, on the Field box, on the field options, for this time, I decided to choose the option "Data not stored with the document". That is what is breaking the pdf conversion. Too bad. Now I have to clear the index all the way and start again from the beggining but without that option. I already remake 3 pages and after the conversion the pdf is created. I have to finish the index redone once again and then create the full pdf document to see if any of those errors/halts happen again.
    I just wish to see a adobe log to see what type of error this bug produces so it would be possible to adobe crush the bug
    P.S. - Sorry if I was too confusiong for anyone to understand what I'm trying to say here

  • 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 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 - PDFMaker in Word

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from my ancient v7 to Acrobat 11pro.
    Unfortunately, however, the installation process did not install PDFmaker to Microsoft Word (2002, running on WinXPpro sp3).
    I really need the PDFmaker to be able to create properly tagged PDFs from Word docs, and this seems the only way I can achieve this.
    So, how can I get the PDFmaker to show up in Word??
    Many thanks in advance!

    Thanks Bill, I was afraid that was going to be it
