Adobe Acrobat 8. Receiving error "Missing PDF maker files"

I have had this software for several years and have had no problems.
I am receiving the error note above when trying to merge two files into a single PDF file.
I tried reloading the software and also looked on line for updates. There were no updates posted.
Any ideas?

You have to have AA8.1 to use PDF Maker with OFFICE 2007. With AA7, you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you are upgrading to Win7, then upgrade to AA9 to go with it.

Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
Thanks in advance!

Adobe Acrobat gives an error message "The key file is missing, canceled"

Hi,
Adobe Acrobat gives an error message "The key file is missing, canceled" this is a direct translation of the Finnish error message. Acrobat is already re-installed. The operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2, and there is also installed Adobe Reader X.

Please let us know do you see this error on every launch of Acrobat?
Recommended is to have latest version of Acrobat and Reader. i.e. 10.1.8
Try updating application and then see if you still encounter the error.

Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
Just can't get this working. Help!!!

Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

"Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."

No doubt this is the wrong forum for this question, but there really does not appear to be "the" appropriate forum.
Every time I open Adobe Acrobat Pro, which I just installed, as well as other Adobe products, such as Photoshop, which I've used for a while, a dialog appears with the message, "Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
I searched in the forums here and saw that other users have had similar problems, but didn't find a solution. It obviously is annoying to have to enter my password every time I open Adobe products. Could someone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it?
My OS is Mac Lion.
Thank you.

Do you have Acrobat 9?
If yes, please try following steps:
1. Repair your current Acrobat installation
a. Launch Acrobat
b. Go to Help->Repair Acrobat Installation
c. Check all the components and press Continue
Missing components will be repaired
2. Now, update your Acrobat.
Go to Help->Check for updates
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e. 952
3. Again , Launch Acrobat. Acrobat would ask credentials for the first time.
4. Quit Acrobat and launch Acorbat again. Acrobat should not ask for credentials now and for all subsequent launches . Please reply if you see a different behavior.

Does a volume license for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard entitle me to make an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat VI Standard?

Does a volume license for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard entitle me to make an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat VI Standard?

It's XI not VI (roman numerals for eleven).
Probably not. It does depend to an extent on the volume licensing program that is in use. Some programs include update rights - that doesn't mean you can buy an upgrade, it means the program manager can get upgrades.
If you are one of those people who have a volume license "cut off" from your program manager e.g. after leaving a company, I think that is the end of the line.

I also still have Acrobat Pro 9 on my machine as backup (for this precise reason) but don't believe this is the problem as they have co-existed without a problem for near a month now. The corruption in version X occured after this morning's failed update from Adobe.
Many thanks,
K

Thank you! That did indeed do the trick
Must have been a font or something causing the problems, as opening in safe mode allowed the software to install correctly.
Thanks again!!
