Adobe pdf maker

How do I set up Adobe PDF Maker for Microsoft Office?

To amplify on what Steve wrote.
Use the link below to view the compatibility of various Office versions and Acrobat versions.

As to "set up". With Office installed you'd installed the appropriate version of Acrobat. This installs (sets up) Acrobat's PDFMaker.
To configure PDFMaker for a supported Office application open PDFMaker's Preference dialog.

  • The Adobe PDF Maker could not be loaded

    With Acrobat 9, XP and Office 2007...
    When in Word 2007, I click  "Adobe" on the toolbar to convert the Word file to pdf. However, when I do this, I get the message "The Adobe PDF Maker could not be loaded" and am given the option to run Repair Mode.
    The conversion works fine from Print|Adobe pdf but this takes away some of the convenience of using the program.
    I've run Repair Mode and no change in results. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Doubt this is the problem, but it might be worth a check. In past versions of OFFICE, you sometimes had to allow PDF Maker as a trusted macro. Haven't heard about the problem with AA9, but it might be a possibility.

  • Adobe PDF Maker has detected that document is protected. Could not create PDF using Pro

    Hi All,
    I am new to this forum and have just started recently using Adobe Pro to  convert huge number of Microsoft Office documents into PDF.
    I get this error when I am batch Processing.
    Adobe PDF Maker has detected that the Document is Protected. It will be unable to create Tags,links and notes with protection on. Do you wish to continue and create PDF without Tags.
    I click Yes , but still I do not see the PDFs created.
    By the way where do i look for the failed documents . Is there any log file. Just to scroll down at the end of batch processing is time consuming.
    Thanks for all your input.

    There is typically a log file produced and located in the folder with the file I think (I don't run into the errors much and so do not look for the files). It is also possible you have turned off retaining the file.

  • Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 adding strange numbers to headings

    Hi everyone,
    I used the Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 to export a Word document to pdf. After saving the pdf, I noticed that the headings that are displayed in the navigaton pane now contain strange numbers, eg.
    1.1 14BSecond level heading
    1.2 15BSecond level heading
    The above should be:
    1.1 Second level heading
    1.2 Second level heading
    It's doing this for all second level headings in the document and when I save as a pdf file, these numbers are showing in the pdf bookmarks.
    Does anyone know if this is a known bug with the pdf add-in and if yes, if there's any way to remove the numbers?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem. In my case the unwanted numbers are being prepended to the running headers at the tops of the pages.
    So for example, I have some Heading 1 text that says Verifying the Required Account Settings. But in the running header, this shows as 11BVerifying the Required Account Settings.
    Unlike the original poster, the 11B does not appear in the text itself - only in the PDF generated by Acrobat's PDF Maker.
    This occurs with this document when output from either Word 2007 or Word 2010 and Acrobat X.
    Any suggested fixes?    ...pt

  • Outlook 2003 - toolbar adobe (pdf maker) missing

    I'dl like to convert outlook 2033 emails or pst files into pdf format -
    but I can not see any adobe acrobat toolbar : how to implement it ? 
    - is it then possibe to convert all emails in automatic mode rather than email by email ?
    thanks in advance

    Solution 1: Remove Adobe PDF from the Disabled Items list in the Microsoft Office application.
    Open the Microsoft Office outlook.
    Go to Help > About [program name].
    Click Disabled Items.
    Select Adobe PDF from the list and click Enable.
    Quit the Microsoft Office program and then restart it.
    Solution 2: Enable the COM add-in file in the Office application. 
    Start the Outlook.
    Choose Help > About [application].
    Click Disabled Items.
    Check the list for PDFMakerOfficeAddin: If it's listed, then select it and click Enable. Close all dialog boxes and restart the Office application.
    If you are using Acrobat 10 or 11 then repairing or updating to latest version should work.

  • Outlook 2010 Adobe PDF maker fails

    I work for a major university that currently uses Outlook 2010. We get high volumes of emails and like to convert said emails to archive them for our records. There seems to be a problem with the amount of emails that can be converted, I've yet to determine if it is limited by the number of emails or if there is a file size limit. In particular, a mailbox with ~2000 emails that need to be converted to PDF's will stop converting at a certain point and give the error message "Item Failed" for any additional items. I tried recreating the situation with my own mailbox by copying 2110 emails ( ~29 GB) and converting all of them, once 246 of these emails (~4.5 GB) had completed the rest received the error message "Item Failed," has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a fix?

    >Hopefully this problem will be addressed in the next patch release
    Since this is a user to user forum, you need to tell Adobe

  • Mail Merge from Word 2010 to Adobe PDF maker, emails

    Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't seem to intergrate properly with Word 2010 on Windows 7 64bit OS. Will version XI fix that? If so how can I upgrade?

    After scanning all available forums, it seems, I continue having the same problem.
    Error message, "PDFMaker was unable to generate pdf documents".
    I'm trying to generate a series letter in Word 2010, then merging the about 80 individual letters in pdf for export into Outlook.
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and Office 2010.
    On some PCs at the office using the same software it works, on mine not.
    Advice urgently needed and very much appreciated. Thank You!

  • Re: How do I activate the Adobe pdf maker toolbar for Internet Explorer (Windows 8.1) Please !

    Greetings one and all.
    I would apprecite any advide and/or instructions on the designated subject matter.
    I downloaded the Adobe pdfmaker toolbar and activated it as per the instructions over the internet.
    It seemed to work well until I updagraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 (free upgrade).
    I'd appreciate any added feedback from any/all individuals who have experienced the same issue.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Do you have all the latest point updates for Acrobat XI installed?  11.0.06 was the first point version to support IE11.

  • PDF Maker crashing Outlook 2013 in Windows 8.1

    I have:
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Outlook 2013 64-bit
    Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, 11.0.06
    This is what I do:
    Start Outlook. Outllok crashes: Displays popup window saying "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working". The only option is "Close program" I click which closes the popup window. Outlook did not start at all.
    I start Outlook a second time. This time Outlook starts but has a yellow bar at the top that says, "ADD-IN PROBLEM". I click to view Disabled Add-Ins. PDF Maker Office COM Add-in is disabled. I click to enable.
    I close Outlook. Then I start Outlook again. Outlook crashes as before. The second time has PDF Maker disabled as before, etc.
    Looks like Adobe PDF Maker crashes Outlook 2013.

    I'm surprised that nobody from Adobe replied. I guess Adobe does not care if users are having problems using their software.
    In any case, I found that if you right-click on Outlook, then run Outlook in administrator mode, Outlook starts up, and PDF Maker does not crash Outlook. So I guess that means that if you want the extra protection of not running Outlook in Administrator mode, then you cannot use Adobe Acrobat.
    I like Adobe Acrobat. So, this leaves me in a quandry. I tried other PDF makers and editors. I like Adobe Acrobat the best. I remember Nuance's PDF software was so buggy. As far as I can tell, Adobe Acrobat has only one bug, and that bug is only in the PDF Maker part. Everything else Adobe has been working. But I also don't want to give up the protection by having to run Outlook in Administrator Mode.

  • Unable to find the Adobe PDF resource file

    I am unable to create PDF files from a Microsoft office document.  I am operating Windows 8.1 and Adobe professional XI.  I received the following error message: unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource file "Adobe PDF maker."  I have followed the previous threads with known issues for Adobe X however, I have never installed Adobe X and I was able to create PDF documents from Microsoft office documents up until approximately 2 weeks ago.

    I started having this problem yesterday. A few days ago I was having issues and notice that I had 2 versions of Acrobat XI (Creative Cloud) installed.  I started to uninstall one of the versions (in Windows Control Panel) and it took forever. I canceled the process and restarted the computer. Acrobat seemed to be working normally, but I was unable to create PDF files from Word, and received the resource files message listed above. In addition, I cannot print to a PDF any longer. Distiller is set to "standard." I am trying to run repair, but the Windows process circle keeps turning and has been for over 30 minutes. I have no idea whether Acrobat is repairing anything, or whether I should terminate the process and do something else. Any ideas?

  • Bookmarks created for elements not selected in Acrobat PDF Maker

    I recently upgraded to Windows (7 64-bit) and Word 2007 (SP2 MSO). I am using Acrobat 9 Pro (9.3.3) to convert a Word document to PDF. The bookmarks created in the PDF document are for all Word Heading styles (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5). However, on the Bookmarks tab of the Adobe PDF Maker, I only selected 3 heading styles (H1, H2, H3) for bookmarks. I did not have this problem using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro 9.
    I searched this forum and I have found reports of similar issues, but no resolution. I also found a thread back in 2009 where a response suggested this is a bug and provided a link to report it. I have not found any information confirming this is a known issue and if there is a resolution in the works.
    Are there settings in MS Word I need to consider? I've looked at all of the conversion settings in Adobe PDF Maker and nothing seems obvious.
    Please help!

    Can you print to the Adobe PDF printer? Does the PDF Maker menu show up in WORD or other OFFICE product?

  • Adobe pdf 8.0 not outputting correct page size from publisher 2007

    i have windows vista home premium with microsoft office 2007. microsoft publisher is not outputting the correct page size when converting to pdf. In Word 2007 i have the document size 4.5 x 6, and if i convert with the adobe add in, the new pdf is exactly 4.5 x 6. In publisher i have a postcard size 8 x 5, when i print to pdf or convert using the converter, it sticks the postcard in the center of an 8.5 x 11 page with crop marks. I can't work with this, i need the pdf to output the exact page size as the microsoft publisher document. i've tried changing page sizes in page setup in the publisher print dialog box as well as the advanced settings in pdf. it doesn't make a difference. it always prints on 8.5 x 11 and centers the postcard in the middle of the page. any help is appreciated

    Think of the paper size in publisher (and likely the printer options) as the setting that Publisher is trying to produce when printing. Think of the paper size in the Adobe PDF printer properties as actually putting the proper paper in the printer. If you do not do the latter, you will get the printout properly sized in terms of your setup and printed on 8X11 paper that is put in the printer. They selection of the paper in a printer is not typically an automatic feature of print drivers. One is the sizing issue of the application and the other is the actual paper that is used. If you printed to actual paper, you would actually put in the 8X5 paper or whatever in your printer. If you used 8X11 paper in the printer, then you would likely get the same result you have in the PDF.
    There may be two convert options in Publisher (depending on the version of Publisher). One would be PDF Maker, the Adobe add on. The other would be a convert to PDF provided by MS. The latter started coming with OFFICE 2007. Also, with OFFICE 2007 you needed a newer version of Acrobat to get the Adobe PDF Maker (AA8 I think was a minimum). If you use PDF Maker, then you have to select the printer properties in PDF Maker for the paper.
    I just did a test sample with AA5 (sorry, that is what is on this machine - but I am sure I would get the same result on my other machines). I created a word processor document with a 5X8 dimension and printed to the margins (set to 1 in). I then printed to the Acrobat Distiller printer (the old name for the Adobe PDF printer) after setting the page to a custom 5X8. The end result of the PDF was a PDF that was 5X8 with 1 in margins of my printing as I had selected. I thus printed with a custom page size in my document and matching page size in the printer properties, getting the expected result. However, I am getting inconsistent results when I try with WORD on this machine.
    To be more helpful, I guess I am going to at least have to try my AA7 on my notebook with OFFICE 2003. Those are both behind your version levels, but I would expect the results to be the same. I will also try with my word process that worked out fine here, but did not retain the paper size setting in the driver, when WORD would not allow the size reduction (that is the inconsistency I mentioned!).
    I will report back later. Bill

  • How can I keep word"s "acrobat pdf maker" from appearing ?

    logically, all of the toolbars items (view menu) in Word should only appear if you ask for them
    since nothing at microsoft seems to be logical, the "adobe pdf maker" toolbar appears constantly when you open a file so that you then have to throw it away to keep it from using up and cluttering the screen
    I have tried everything I know to get rid of this pesky thing - any suggestions?

    Hi, Joseph.
    You haven't stated the version of MS Office you are using, but the following instructions, written with Office 2004 in mind, will also work for Office v.X.
    How to remove the PDFMaker toolbar in MS Office applications
    The PDFMaker toolbar launcher is saved in an application-specific directory for each Office application. The general format of the directory path is:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/office_application
    Therefore, to remove the PDFMaker toolbar from MS Word, trash the PDFmaker file found in the directory:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word/
    Do likewise for Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
    Note that Adobe Acrobat automatically checks the state of its features — like PDFMaker — when it is launched. Depending on the version of Acrobat you have installed, it may try to replace these files after you have deleted them. Adobe Acrobat has a "Do not ask again" option if it offers to "repair" these files
    Note that the same instructions work under Office v.X.
    Good luck!

  • PDF Maker cannot append

    I hope that someone can help solve a current problem.
    I have a user computer running Acrobat X pro and Outlook 2010 on the local machine.  The user can convert email messages without error.  However when the user attempts to append to an existing PDF thread the following error is received.
    " Adobe PDF maker cannot create PDF file.  Make sure the file is not already open in Adobe Reader.  Click Retry to try again or click Save As to choose another name for this file"
    I want to note that the PDF is not open when message is received, and sometimes the "Try Again" function works.  The user can print, scan, move and edit PDF's just fine.  This issue is isolated to the PDF appending function in Outlook. 
    Please Help!!!!

    Thanks for the reply, I have completed all of the updates.  Acrobat X pro does have the ability to both convert and append emails from Outlook.  Whats more frustrating is that only this particular user is having the problem.  No one else in the office.

  • PDF Maker/Outlook 2007 crashing issue

    When using Adobe PDF maker in outlook 2007 it often crashes. Is there a maximum PDF portfolio size that you can archive emails into? It seems once my file hits a certain size I need to begin a new file for the process to run? How can I fix this?

    There are some known issues with Acrobat X and Outlook. These issues are as follows (taken from the Known issues documentation):
    If Outlook is online with Exchange (cached Exchange Mode OFF), then PDFMaker can only convert 249 mails through selection. All the mails after that are skipped with Status "Unable to open secured message."
    You can open messages in Outlook in the same session where PDFMaker conversion through selection had failed.
    Folder conversion works fine. PDFMaker successfully converts 10000 mails in an online folder on exchange server.
    Tested for Outlook 2007, Outlook 2003, and Outlook XP. Same behavior irrespective of outlook version.
    PDFMaker should be able to convert up to 1000 mails through selection with Cached Exchange Mode OFF. [1662502]
