Cannot enable acrobat 8.1.3 addin in Word 2007

Hi,
I cannot enable acrobat 8.1.3 addin in Word 2007. In Word 2007 I go to the top left circle, word options, Add-Ins, Disabled Application Add-ins, Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin, and then "Go".
I then see Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin is unchecked. When I check it, it notes that "This add-in is installed for all users on this computer, and can only be connected or disconnected by an administrator". See attached jpg for details. Please advise.
Thanks,
Joe

As the instructions indicate, log in as the administrator and activate the option. If you do not have access to the administrator account, then ask your IT folks to do it for you.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Conversion Error from Word 2007

I do not want to hijack the thread or question raised by another poster a short time ago but I cannot figure out how to correct the below.
Office 2007 fully updated
Vista 32-bit
Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
I have to provide data for someone else to assemble and publish and have been attempting to convert some Word documents nearly full of tables to press quality .pdf. Whenever I try the conversion, Acrobat Pro seems to re-center the tables both horizontally and vertically forcing the misalignment of the rows of data although any repeating headers remain properly placed. I can even see the table shift downward slightly when using the Acrobat conversion macro within Word. It may be adjusting the margins instead of re-centering.
I have tried using the macro within Word 2007, Create PDF within Acrobat Pro and Print to PDF as well as tweaking some of the settings such as lowering resolution and turned off unused settings such as enable fast web view, etc. The glitch also occurs with High Quality Print. Standard used to work but after the update to 9.3.4 that conversion shows the same problem. I even tried saving in Word 97-2003 format with the same results.
The documents in question do have custom page sizes and margins but do not use any abnormal fonts. I have tried changing the margins but the conversion to .pdf still changes the information and/or magins as described above. Row height seems to be correctly maintained.
I realize that a knowledgeable user can export the .pdf back into Word or other program but am trying to make it more difficult for someone to edit information which has always had extremely negative consequences in terms of data organization, layout and even integrity.
There has to be something really silly that I am overlooking.
Thank You

Thanks Bill.
Sorry for the delay, Verizon dumped its DSL +service to Frontier so we had one of the bi-weekly extended outages.
No changes occurred when I changed the default printer to Adobe PDF. All of my printers are new enough so that they can handle the current margins so I do not think that they is a problem there but changing the default as suggested by you and Michael eliminates that as the source.
I had previously been able to convert using the built-in converter in Word but was unsure whether or not the result would be press quality and was unable to find this information in my searches. I retested this and conversion using Word’s built-in converter works without a problem.
The conversion using Combine Miles > Merge Into A Single PDF also works without a problem with the highest quality setting. It took several hours to run but I guess or assume that it was because of the number of tags as this is a quick setting and therefore I could not disable the tagging which is not needed in this case.
I was also able to convert the same file which had been saved from Word 2007 into the 1997-2003 format as described above but the same problem came up when using the Acrobat macro and Create PDF from File. I had even created a modified press quality settings to modify settings like disabling autorotate, Object Level Compression, changed the binding option, lowered resolution, bumping the format up to PDF 1.7, etc., but all produce the same result. I have tried changing the document margins in case the conversion process rounded these but all produce the same artifact/problem except when I use Combine Files or the converter built into Word.

Acrobat 9 Standard Image Issues using Word 2007

Hi,
I have just purchased and installed Acrobat 9 Standard on an XP Pro machine with Office 2007.
Using the Acrobat add in (PDFMaker?) I am having issues with images (specifically graphs), they are coming out with the text upside down and no graph data inside the axis.
I have tried using Distiller by saving to file as a PS and then opening and converting in Distiller which produces the graphs fine but doesnt add bookmarks - manually adding the bookmarks is not an option.
I would be happy with a solution using either of the adobe technologies.
Thanks,
Adrian

Unfortunately that isn't really possible, the data is sensitive. I can try and explain it better though....
Here is an example of the kind of graph (chromatogram) that we might put in a Word doc:
http://www.wcaslab.com/gif/EPA556chromatogram.gif
When that is PDFd the graph content is gone:
http://www.business-analysis-made-easy.com/image-files/xy-axis.gif
and the individual axis numbers are upside down, but still in the right order. So if the Y-Axis reads:
1.0
0.8
0.6
0.4
then it would read:
upside down 1.0
upside down 0.8
upside down 0.6
etc etc
Hopefully that explains a little better.

Issues exporting pdf (acrobat 9 Pro) to docx (MS Word 2007)

recently upgraded to 9 Pro (32bit) - ok I'll admit I'm a little slow on the upgrade - in an XP Pro SP3 (32bit) OS
I created a PDF from a web page: Create from web page>HTML. I then tried to export to docx. I ended up with a mishmash of word boxes overlaying each other (EXPORT > Word Document > Settings > Retain Page Layout > OK etc. )
I repeated this with a "normal" pdf - not one created from a web page but with the same result.
Any ideas??

A PDF may not convert wll to DOC if the sense that you are using it since there is not any layout info in the PDF. You may likely have a bunch of boxes and such that are then converting to WORD in a way you do not like. There is even a question as to what the default page size is of the PDF that you are using.
Have you tried printing to the Adobe PDF printer from your browser? This process will not include the links and such, but if you goal is to convert to DOC then those would not go anyway.

Acrobat 9 on Mac: Cannot enable javascript debugger

I've tried setting Javascript preferences as follows:
Enable Acrobat Javascript
Enable menu items JavaScript execution privileges
Enable global object security policy
Enable Javascript debugger after Acrobat is restarted
Enable interactive console
Use Acrobat Javascript Editor
I then restarted Acrobat, and invoked the JavaScript debugger, which starts up with a notice at the bottom: "The JavaScript Debugger is not enabled. You can enable it in the JavaScript preferences."
I get this same result in MacOS 10.5.8/Acrobat 9.5.4, and MacOS 10.7.5/Acrobat 9.0.0
What do I have to do to enable the JS debugger?
Rick

I tried this method (both) but nothing work. My last retry comes with a failure message:
And here is the error summary:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW013 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------

ERROR: -------------------- END - Initialization Failures - END --------------------
ERROR: DW013: Cannot initialize payload session
It seems like the problem of my OS X (I know my system is buggy all the way). Looking for method to fix it.

Acrobat PDFMaker addin in Word 2003

After Upgrading from Acrobat 8 to 9, the addin in Word 2003 is missing and word did not start properly until it automatically removing whatever was left of the former addin. I am trying the manual installation but I cannot find the ".dot" file needed, only the .dll for Word2007 is available but for that it was automatically installed without problems. I work with Win XP64. I have upgraded acrobat 8 to 9 because the pdf printer was not working after some time. I've been told the same was observed with acrobat 7, but reinstallation of the acrobat was much faster in that earlier version. I read and download pdfs with a suite of internet browsers everyday and I have had many problems, such as missing fonts, incomplete downloads, freezing of the browsers, reinstalling web browsers several times, shutting down frozen adobe processes, etc.
Thanks for your support.

Hi,
maybe you want to delete both programs!
Restart, check that everything is clean.
And reinstall first word then Acrobat!

Cannot Re-Eenable Acrobat Add-in in Word 2007

The Adobe Acrobat add-in in Word 2007 has become disabled and I cannot re-enable it.
When I go to Word Options - Add-ins - Manage COM Add-ins and try to tick the disabled Acrobat add-in I get the error: "This add-in is installed for all users on this computer and can only be connected by an administrator".
I can, however can right click on the Word.exe run as Administrator and it is enabled.
I tried removing the PDFMaker Add In and adding it again and enabling it
It still does not change the user account Add In, associated to the user on this computer
How can I re-enable the add-in?
I'm using Word 2007 with Windows 7 Adobe X 10

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.

Word 2007 AddIn Cannot Run on Windows XP SP3 + Office 2007

Hi All,
I faced an issue regarding our Word 2007 AddIn cannot run on Office 2007 + WinXP SP3.
I developed a Word 2007 AddIn using VS 2010. The addin works fine on Win7 + Office 2007. But It cannot run in Word 2007 in WinXP.
I have tried the following testing.
1. I rebuild a new WinXP environment + Office 2007 + VS 2010. No antivirus in my machine. I create the Word 2007 AddIn using VS 2010. But unfortunately, it cannot run in my WinXP machine. it's very strange.
2. I rebuild a new Win7 environment + Office 2007 + VS 2010. No antivirus in my machine, and the same steps with previous. it runs fine.
3. I noticed that, if I debug the Word AddIn Project using VS 2010 In XP, it cannot run into debug mode. I checked the Word Options
I have highlight the test addins it always uncheck. If I checked it, when I reopen Word. it will change to uncheck status.
And the addins always in Inactive Application Addin group.
@All guys, How to solve this issue? It's very very strange.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,

Hello Ricky,
First of all, I'd suggest checking the Trust Center settings in Outlook. Then take a look at the Disabled Items list. Is your add-in listed there?
Microsoft Office applications can disable add-ins that behave unexpectedly. If an application does not load your add-in when you try to debug it, the application might have hard disabled or soft disabled your add-in.
Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event
handler in your add-in is executing.
Soft disabling can occur when an add-in produces an error that does not cause the application to unexpectedly close. For example, an application might soft disable an add-in if it throws an unhandled exception while the Startup event
handler is executing.
When you re-enable a soft-disabled add-in, the application immediately attempts to load the add-in. If the problem that initially caused the application to soft disable the add-in has not been fixed, the application will soft disable the add-in
again.
You can read more about that in the
How to: Re-enable an Add-in That Has Been Disabled article in MSDN.

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.

How do I restore Acrobat X to work with MS Word which now rejects the AddIn

Clearly something has been corrupted but so far the following action has not resolved problem
1. Complete reinstallation of Office (I am using 2003)
2. "Repair Acrobat Installation" from Help Menu and system Restart (using Acrobat X v10.1.5)
If I try to enable the Acrobat AddIn in Word (either manually or through Acrobat) Word reports a runtime error.

Failed on this
A complete reinstall of the whole of OFFICE11 where all files had been deleted - has made no difference.
Moreover I find that XL loaded with my normal VB programs also fails
I get System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259).
when I try and delete what may be offending code and Save
I get Compile error: Out of memory ... in relation to a VBA line Dim x as New EventClassModule
Due to some automatic code that starts up with the Workbook
This VBA code has been operating fine on an almost daily basis for several years.
So I have some problem that seems to be outside a full configure of OFFICE11 which may or may not be connected to Adobe Acrobat addin - which started my investigation.

Cannot update Acrobat 8.0

Hi.
I have a problem. I have installed Adobe CS3 Design Premium on my computer.
(Windows XP SP3, 4GB Ram,250GB HD with 205 free space, Intel Core 2 6600 CPU)
I cannot install the updates for Acrobat. Everything else updated. I had a corrupt profile, which may have caused some errors, so I uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 on my current good profile. Still I cannot update Acrobat 8.0 Professional. Acrobat Reader is not installed.
I get bootstrapper errors when I do the update process within Acrobat:
(Adobe BootStrapper for chaining multiple patches. has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.)
I tried the .msp files, but they are not recognized by Windows. (This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package). I have tried the sequential steps and they don't work. Starting with the first msp file (AcrobatUpd810_efgj_incr.msp)
When I go into Help, About Adobe Acrobat Professional, I get Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0.
Can anybody help?

Did you go to the update page and manually download/install the updates?
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
