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.

  • No Create Adobe PDF button in Microsoft Word 2000

    Hi,
    I recently purchased and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 and am working my way through Adobe Acrobat Classroom in a Book. I've learned there should be a "Create Adobe PDF" button in Microsoft Word (and Excel, etc.), but there are none in mine. If I use the Adobe PDF printer, an untagged PDF will result.
    I'm using Microsoft Word 2000; is that version too old to support the addition of a Create Adobe PDF button within the application? I've also recently installed Omnipage and buttons for that application installed in Word with no problems.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Why would you need to do that? You can attach a PDF to an email directly...

  • Missing data in Acrobat Pro XI PDF created from Microsoft Word (2010) doc

    When I create an "Adobe PDF" from a Microsoft 2010 Word doc that contains mainly images and text boxes, about 50% of the text boxes do not appear in the PDF.  Also, some of the images (layered on top of each other) appear in a different order - the one on the bottom moves to the top.
    How can I address this problem so that the PDF accurately reflects the Word document?
    (I am using Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office 2010)

    Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
    BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
    It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner.  Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

  • Adobe 9 Pro PROBLEM with Word 2010

    I upgradedd to Office 2010 Suite,  Purchased Adobe 9 Pro
    and installed it after I installed Office 2010.  Adobe does not show in the
    Word 2010 ribbon.  Called ADOBE they say they do not support ADOBE 9 and Office 2010.  HELP

    We are a training institution using the latest Microsoft Office Pro (2010) and Creative Suite Design Premium (CS5) suites.
    Pdfmaker has been a key part of the PDF Basics syllabus for some time and to have to wait till the end of 2011 for a solution (Creative Suite 6?) is a large inconvenience.
    Given that Adobe are still selling Acrobat 9 as a “current” product as part of the suites, I believe that a free upgade to Acrobat 9.xx that has the functionallity restored should be in order, rather than being told that “ps and by the way … the product that you bought TODAY doesn’t work and possibly never will unless you upgrade”!
    Spoke to Adobe customer support about this yesterday and their response was to downgrade to Office 2007 if pdfmaker is that important – a fairly arrogant approach.
    This is an Adobe problem, not Microsoft, as they are the 3rd party providing the plug-in. (Adobe are quick to point this out when it comes to Photoshop plug-ins.)
    As we advertise using the packaged suites upgrading an individual product outside of the automatic updates is not an option.

  • Converting PDF formats to MS word 2010?

    hi,I've got a problem. I'm really sorry if someone have already discussed that problem before.
    I am trying to convert 1000's of pdf files to word 2010 that has not been labeled correctly so using the built in feature that acrobat has does not allow the tables and colums to convert without going all over the place. Is there anyway to do this?
    Hope to get answers as soon as possible.

    You'll want to ask this question in the Acrobat Windows forum.

  • 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

  • Problem embedding pdf as object in Word 2010 64-bit

    Using MS Word 2010 64-bit & Acrobat X Pro on Win 7 Ult. Getting following error when trying to embed a pdf file as an object in a doc(x) file:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is  either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit  this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in  AcroExch are closed."
    There is some kind of discussion for Reader X here:

    Hi Dave,
    Maurice's thread was locked because he is using Office 2010 Beta, and his post is in the forum for Office Beta, since the Beta is past due, the whole forum is locked.
    Let's go back to your question.
    Have you installed the Office 2010 Service Pack 1? The service pack fixes many issues, you should try if you haven't.
    Download
    the Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 1 64-bit package now.
    I may to metion is that all I know the Office 2010 64-bit will work smoothly with Windows 7 64-bit, cause I'm using it for my daily work.
    So, the problem you met with mostly caused by the 3rd-party add-ins/services.
    Have you tried to open the document by holding the Ctrl key? This will open the document in safe mode, if you are able to do so, this will help us to narrow down the root cause.
    If it will crash even when you start it in safe mode, let's try to run a clean boot to check this issue. In a clean boot, lots of service will be disabled, if we wouldn't get problem in a clean boot, then we can enable the service little by little, then
    we can find out which service might cause this issue.
    For a detail instruction, you can refer to this kb:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Let me know the result, any questions, feel free to let me know.

  • Where is "save as Adobe pdf "in backstage for word 2013

    Hi,
    I saw "save as adobe pdf" in the file tab in office 2013 for some users but I dont know how can I aktive it for my pc?

    Hi,
    Do you want this?
    If yes, we need to install the third-party add-in, such as Adobe Acrobat for PDF. We can go to Adobe official website to download it.

  • Print with Adobe PDF printer driver from Word: Stripes in images

    Hello,
    I use Acrobat 8 Professional (Version 8.1.3) on Windows XP SP3 (german version). I'd like to create a PDF out of a Word document by printing with the "Adobe PDF" printer driver. I have a problem with an image containing large unicolored areas: In the PDF there are recognizeable stripes in the colors of the image. This is when viewing the PDF with Acrobat 8 Professiona, when importing a page containung such an image into Photoshop, and when printing such an image.
    The image is an RGB TIF, but I tried it with a CMYK TIF as well as with an RGB BMP. The reault - when printed out of Word - is the same. If I print the same image to a PDF from InDesign, then everything is fine, no stripes.
    Does anybody know how to optimize this?
    Best regards,
    Christian

    Sorry, I should have mentioned this, of course. Well the document is a DOC (because it was prepared by co-workers with Word 2003). I use Word 2007, when I opened the DOC Word switched to "compatability mode" (not sure about the exact English term, I work with German versions). But even when saving the document under a new name, I kept it as a DOC, so my co-workers would be able to open it again at their computers with Word 2003.
    My Acrobat is already version 8.1.6 and because I always install Windows Updates that the automatic update service offers, I guess my Word 2007 is also up to date.
    But sure, if I can be of any other help, let me know...
    Best regards,
    Christian

  • Adobe PDF Printer disappearing after 9.4.2 update

    A few hours ago I updated Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to 9.4.2, supposedly coming from 9.4.1.
    Since then the Adobe PDF Printer is no longer available among my printer options. That is for all applications: Adobe Acrobat, InDesign, Preview or ArchiCAD 14.
    It seems there's a similar issue with the 9.4.2 Windows upgrade (see Acrobat Windows forums). What now? Deinstall Acrobat? Or how do I revert to a older version?!
    MacBookPro 2009 (5,3), Mac OS X.6.6.

    Ditto...
    This is a whole lot of pain  unfortunately. I am sitting here lamenting why oh why did I upgrade?? But then it can only improve right? Whats the harm? Surely this will make things better? After all, it didn't really point out that the Acrobat Printer would no longer be available. I will never again do an upgrade on Acrobat as it has done this  to me before previously and it was a pain to sort out!
    Graphics users need the Adobe Acrobat PS Printer as without this we are  not able to set document parametres for print iro commercial printing.  Crop marks, page size, reg marks etc. Which can only be accessed via the  software once the Acrobat PS Printer output option has been selected.
    Simply selecting create Postscript file or PDF.... has none of those  attributes and is probably less useful than a chocolate teapot.  certainly not a "Pro" - "Professional" option, but rather meant for the  masses who have basic Acrobat requirements.
    I don't really care to get into the realms as to who did what and  whether it was Apples security option or Adobe's upgarde. This outcome  is going to upset a lot of graphics users who have paid good money for  this package as it was originally intended (for the professional with  professional requirements ie PS options) and I for one am annoyed at  software companies changing the rules as time goes on. Its the consumer  that keeps being inconvenienced all the time.
    If memory recalls, we have to totally uninstall and reload. But  theres a catch there somewhere if I remember correctly as the  uninstaller does not recognize certain files and if you apply the  reinstall using the older version of Acrobat, residual files from the  newer version create issues. Something like that. Not sure that makes sense to me either. But I remember theres a curve ball there somewhere...
    Going to be a long night!
    Rule for the future. Don't upgrade.

  • SmartView 11.1.2.2.000 - SmartView tab disappears from Excel 2010

    We are using SmartView 11.2.2.2.000 with Excel 2010.  The SmartView tab frequently disappears from the Excel menu, especially for one particular user.  Each time I walk him thru re-enabling it.  This user's files are usually multiple sheets.  Anyone know why this keeps happening and is there a permanent way to fix it?
    Thanks.

  • "Creating Adobe PDF" slow (from Microsoft Word to Acrobat X)

    Since I installed Adobe Acrobat X, whenever I print to PDF, it takes me a really long time to create a PDF.  I have a simple 8 page Microsoft Word doc and several minutes later, it is still creating the PDF.  Any clues? Fixes?

    I had adobe updater running in the background.  When I turned that off, printing occurred instantly.
