Add Ins tab disappears in Word 2007

Hi -
I installed Tutor 14 and I am having problem with the Add In.
I am using Word 2007 - and when I create a new Tutor document, I can see the Add In tab at first. But as soon as I update the Document Properties, the Add In tab disappears.
What is the issue with this, can anyone help? The OS is XP.
Thanks.

It may be a corrupt normal.dotm.
Try deleting it.
Close Word, find where normal.dot resides (should be in the same folder as Author.dot) and delete normal.dotm
A new one will regenerate next time you open Word.
Another cause could be other product's dot files that are installed to the Word start up folder.
These may over-ride the Author.dot
Examples are the snagit.dot, palm.dot, etc.
Remove these from Word's startup folder and see if the behavior persisits.
Kind regards,
Emily

Adobe PDF tab Disappeared in Word 2010

Hi---I had the Adobe PDF tab in my Word 2010 for years---it's now disappeared!
I re-added/enabled it in the Add-Ons (File-Options-Add-Ins) and it shows it as Enabled, but still won't re-display in my menu bar.
I really need this to create bookmarked PDFs, and going into "Options" just allows me to click something like "Bookmarks by Headings," but won't allow me to choose the headings (some clients change their heading names, e.g., Heading 1 may be H1 in another doc), and I need to be able to open that window that I used to use when the Adobe PDF tab appeared, so I can check/un-check the heading names---help! Thanks!

Could you try the following:
Launch Acrobat, ensure you're fully updated (Help > Check for Updates) to version 9.5.1
Close all applications and restart the computer.
Repair Microsoft Office from Control Panel > Programs
Launch Acrobat and repair via Help > Repair Acrobat Installation
Restart the computer.
Launch Word.
I'm wondering if a recent update to Office may have caused the problem.
Let us know how it goes.

Adobe Acrobat v8.1.2 - PDFMaker COM Add-in not loading in Word 2007

PDFMaker COM Add-in is now not loading in Word 2007 at startup. But, it loads just fine for the rest of the Office 2007 apps. It loaded just fine, all operational, until 1-2 months ago. Now I have no access to Acrobat in Word 2007 except for print to that printer. There are now no buttons on the ribbon for direct access to Adobe Acrobat functions as there used to be. When I look in the COM add-ins area of Word 2007, it tells me PDF Maker is not loaded and that I cannot change the connected state of Office Add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the Regedit.
Am running MS Office 2007 SP-1 on Vista SP-1 x82. This behavior was going on before the recent SP-1's were installed, so pre-existing condition. Everything else is performing quite well. REALLY! I am very pleased with Vista.
Guidance, help, etc is most appreciated. THANKS!!!

I had the same issue. The COM Add-In for PDFMaker was disabled by Word 2007 due to an unexpected crash during the creation of a PDF. I have searched all over the place trying to find a way to get the PDFMaker functionality active again in Word 2007 including the solutions mentioned in this post. In the end I found a solution myself.
1. Go to Word Options > Add-ins
2. Go to the Manage drop down dialog at the bottom of the page and select Disabled Items. Click Go.
3. A dialog will open that displays all the disabled add-ins. Select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin.
4. Click the Enable button.
5. Close and reopen MS Word and the Acrobat menu should be available again.

Word 2007 won't save files with Acrobat Pro 9.0 Installed

Last night an issue started occurring while trying to save a document in MS Word 2007 (part of an Office Ultimate install). After about 10 hours of trying several suggestions from a variety of forums and MS suggestions I found that the only time I cannot save a file by traditional means is when Acrobat is installed. I tried updating Acrobate and had the same thing happen. MS says all that's left for me to do is get an answer from Adobe (I have to wonder if it's a copout).
Steps taken so far:
Disabled the PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
Removed PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
Removed entire CS4 suite - Word was able to properly save files
Installed only the parts of the suite that I use frequently (Photoshop, Soundbooth, Premiere, Acrobat) - unable to save Word files
Removed Acrobat Pro 9.0 - Word saves files properly again
When I say it will not save a file I've tried the keyboard shortcuts for Save/Save As, Choosing the Save/Save As from drop down, and even attempted to save by closing the document. When prompted with the option to save changes I say yes and nothing will happen, I have to close the document with nothing saved.
I hate the idea of reinstalling Acrobat each time I need to use it to keep Word functional. I've seen a ton of threads on other forums related to this issue. Has anybody else seen this or know about a fix/work around? Any help is appreciated. Please let me know if additional detail is necessary.
The operating system for the affected computer is Windows 7 32-bit.

I installed each update individually (6 of them) and rebooted after each update. Opened Word and attempted to save a document (after each update/reboot), the documents still cannot be saved (previously created documents still cannot have new detail saved).
Decided to delete the Office folder in the following path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office
Opened up word and Acrobat went through an installation processes, to replace what was removed I assume. After this was done I attempted to save a document and was still unable to do so. Went back and deleted that Office folder in the above path again. When opening Word this time I cancelled the installation process that Adobe was trying to complete. Preventing the install of the settings and PDF add-in allowed documents to be saved again in word.
I decided to try to remove the innactive add-in from my Word Options and received the following error message:
"The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed"
Due to my deleting that folder?
I suppose I could cancel that installation that initiates each time I open Word (or any other Office program that benefits from Acrobat Add-ins) but that will be a bit of an annoyance.
Anybody have another suggestion, know what may need to be deleted from the registry to prevent the Add-ins installation when opening Word, or know where that setting can be changed?
Hopefully getting close to a resolution

"Add in" tab will not display on EXCEL

I am unable to get the "Add in" tab showing in MS EXCEL. We have tried adding the link in options, turning off security and still will not appear. Please can you advise?

Hi,
Is it a third party add-in or a self-developed add-in? As cguan asked above, does it use custom toolbars?
As far as I know, the Add-Ins tab will only display if it uses custom toolbars. If there are no custom toolbars in any workbook or add-ins, the Add-Ins tab will not be displayed.

Word 2007, Add-ins menu, items appear twice ...

Hi
I'm using win7 word 2007 and OPM 10.1.
I'm attending a course in OPA/OPM and we have seen that the Add-ins menu appear weird.
Several students that attend the course are seeing the same phenomena.
If I select the add-in tab in word, the OPM short cuts appear twice, first one set, then when I scroll further to the right a second set appears.
It is only the right most set that works.
If I hover the mouse over the first set smiley face, the tooltip says "Haley Office Rules: Compile (Alt+R) ". If I check the tooltip of the rightmost set it says, "Oracle Policy Modeling: Compile (Alt+R)"
I have only installed OPM 10.1 on this pc. Not any older version (like old Haley versions)
kind regards,
Michael

Hi
Try these 3 tips to restore the toolbar to how it should display:
1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
2. Try resetting the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Select General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.

Lost Adobe tab in Word 2007

Hi,
I had a Word 2007 crash, and when I reopened Word the Adobe tab (for converting to PDF) tab had disappeared
When I go to Word options > Add-ins > COM add-ins I can see a check box with Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM add-in.(exact names may not be accurate, I have a French version of Word)
I checked the option, clicked OK, but I still have no tab. I tried stopping/starting Word, but no luck.
Any ideas?

I actually just had that happen in our office with Excel. Here's what I found on the support site: (hope this helps you)
PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 (Windows)
Ratings:0 of 1 people found this helpful
Issue
The Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended on Windows.
Solution
Do one or more of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Enable the PDFMaker add-in in the Office 2007 application's Disabled Items list.
A Microsoft Office 2007 application may automatically disable add-ins as a fail-safe if the application closes unexpectedly (for example, if the system was not shut down properly or if the application crashed). To determine if the PDFMaker add-in has been disabled, do the following:
Open the Microsoft Office 2007 application.
Do one of the following:
In Access, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint: Click the Microsoft Office button (in the upper-left corner). Click the [Application Name] Options button. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Options window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Options window. Click Go.
In Outlook, Publisher, or Visio: Choose Tools > Trust Center. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Trust Center window. Click Go.
In Project: Choose Help > About Microsoft Office Project. Click Disabled Items.
Look in the Disabled Items list for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is in the list, then select it, click Enable, and click Close. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is not in the list, then use Windows Explorer to make sure that PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is present in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office. If the file is not present, then go to Solution 4 for instructions on how to repair your Acrobat installation.
Note: If you installed Acrobat to a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then modify the folder path above for your installation location.
Solution 2: Manually register the COM add-in file.
Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
Close all Office 2007 applications.
In Windows Explorer, locate PDFMOfficeAddin.dll and note its exact path, which may include spaces. Its default path is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll.
Do one of the following:
On Windows XP: Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
On Windows Vista: Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click on Command Prompt, choose Run As Administrator, and authenticate.
In the Command Prompt window, type regsvr32 followed by a space and the path that you noted in Step 1. Enclose the path in quotation marks. For example, if PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is in its default location, then you would type the following command:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
Press Enter.
A dialog box will confirm that the registration was successful. Click OK to close this dialog box.
Close the Command Prompt window.
Open the Office 2007 application.
Solution 3: Verify that Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is selected in the Office 2007 application's list of available add-ins.
Open the Microsoft Office 2007 application.
Do one of the following:
In Access, Excel, PowerPoint, or Word: Click the Microsoft Office button (in the upper-left corner). Click the [Application Name] Options button. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Options window.
In Outlook, Publisher, or Visio: Choose Tools > Trust Center. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window.
Choose COM Add-ins in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Options window or the Trust Center window.
Click Go.
Look for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In in the list.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In appears in the list but the checkbox beside it is not selected, then click the checkbox to place a check mark there. Click OK. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application. (If the Office application doesn't allow you to place a check mark in the checkbox, and if you have already tried Solution 1, then select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In, click Remove, and proceed to the next paragraph.)
If Adobe PDFMaker COM Add-In is not in the list of available add-ins, then click Add and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office. Select PDFMOfficeAddin.dll. Click OK. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application.
Note: If you installed Acrobat to a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then modify the folder path above for your installation location.
Solution 4: Run Repair Acrobat Installation while no other applications are running.
Close all open applications.
Restart your computer.
Open Acrobat.
Choose Help > Repair Acrobat Installation and follow the on-screen instructions.
When the repair process is complete, restart your computer.
Solution 5: Remove and reinstall Acrobat with Windows in a simplified mode.
Device drivers and programs that start automatically when you start your computer can conflict with the Acrobat installer and cause problems. To prevent an installation conflict, reinstall Acrobat while Windows is in simplified mode. In simplified mode, non-essential programs and drivers are disabled.
To remove Acrobat:
Move any personal files out of the Acrobat application folder and its subfolders. The default location for the application folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0.
Do one of the following:
On Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs (or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs). If the Control Panel is in Category view, then also click Remove A Program.
On Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs And Features. If the Control Panel is in Category view, then instead choose Start > Control Panel > Uninstall A Program.
In the Add Or Remove Programs window, select Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or click Uninstall/Change (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the application.
To reinstall Acrobat in a simplified mode:
Close all open applications.
Restart the computer with non-essential services and startup items disabled. For instructions, see one of these TechNotes:
Windows XP: See TechNote kb404984.
Windows Vista: See TechNote kb404913.
Double-click the Setup.exe file on your Acrobat 9 installation media. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Open Acrobat and choose Help > Check For Updates. Follow the on-screen instructions to install available updates.
Re-enable startup items and services. For instructions, see the appropriate TechNote in Step 2, above.
Restart your computer.

Cannot restore PDF Maker and Add-in to MS Word 2007

Hi,
I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed as part of CS4 Design Premium onto Win Vista + MS Office 2007 environment.
When this was first done, "Acrobat" menu showed on MS Word's ribbon but this had disappeared and replaced by ScanSoft PDF Create 4 add-in menu, which was bundled with an OCR program.
Unfortunately, the PDFs produced by this version of PDF Create isn't compatible with Auto Field Detection of Acrobat 9 to create fillable PDF forms so I uninstalled PDF Create and ran Acrobat installer in repair mode several times but the "Acrobat" menu doesn't get retored on MS Word and I still get
"Missing PDF Maker Files Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
error message every time I try to convert *.docx file into PDF from Explorer using contextual menu.
How can I rectify this?
I'm using subscription version of CS4 Design Premium.

Hi again
I've since found out that Acrobat PDFMaker Add-in was in the disabled list of MS Office Word Add-ins.
In fact, the situation is pretty much described in Solution 1 of http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401734.html and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403561.html (thanks, CtDave!) so I followed the instruction to enable the Add-in.
It was, however, not possible to simply enable the PDFMaker Add-in as it rejected my attempt to tick the box by indicating I have to do this as administrator (below is the stuff I get when running Word as Maki, i.e. non-admin)
It gets more confusing when I DID run Word as administrator, the PDFMaker Add-in wasn't disabled (see below)
There is no menu item like "share the setting with other users" so I'm stuck.
I did go to MS Office Word Forum and saw people posting similar problems but it seems they are trying to send people to Adobe Forum...
Any suggestions?

Word 2007 can't activate add in

I have Word 2007 and AA8.1.6 and I can't see the Acrobat tab in there (only in Word beacuse in Excel and PowerPoint I have no problems).
The fact is that the PDFMaker add in isn't active: it is listed among the non active add ins and when I go in Manage Add Ins I can tick the option but the change doesn't have any effects. Next time I open Word, the add in is still non active.
Actually this happens with all the add ins of Word.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I add some information I've just found out.
I read that the value of the registry key of LoadBehavior of the PDFMaker add in must be set on 3.
Under Excel and PowerPoint it is so, but under Word is on 2.
If I modify it, the change stays until I activate the add in from Word options, then it switches back on 2 again.
Why?

Can one 3rd Party add-in hide tabs added by other 3rd Party add-ins?

I have a C++/COM add-in that produces a Ribbon with a subset of the standard Word controls. I would like this ribbon to contain only the controls I have placed there, i.e. not to contain tabs inserted by other 3rd party add-ins (e.g. Adobe PDFMaker).
I can see how the user can remove these tabs using the Customize Ribbon functionality, but can't find a programmatic way to exclude the tabs from my own ribbon (modifying the XML to include <ribbon startFromScratch="true"> seems to affect only
the built-in tabs). To be clear, I do not want to disable the other add-ins, only to exclude their tabs and menu items from my custom Ribbon. Can this be done?

Hello,
No. The Fluent UI (Ribbon UI) extensibility model doesn't provide anything for that. But you can try to unload other add-ins at runtime setting the
Connect property of other third-party add-ins to false. The Connect property returns True if
the add-in is active; it returns False if the add-in is inactive. An active add-in is registered and connected; an inactive add-in is registered but not currently connected.
Or set an appropriate key in the windows registry to prevent other add-ins from loading, see
Registry Entries for Application-Level Add-Ins for more information.
You can read more about the Ribbon in the following series of articles in MSDN:
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
