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

Acrobat guide disappeared from Word 2007 panel

Hi,
The Acrobat guide disappeared from Word 2007, but still ok on others Office 2007 sw. I´ve already tried to active Acrobat COM at Word Supplement, but without success. Hope that someone can help.
Tks

Michael,
Tks for you help. It soved other minor problems with my Acrobat, but the problem wtih the Word remains. By "guide", I mean those button on the top of the screen, i.e. "File", "Edit", "Developer". It use to have a extra "guide" named "Acrobat", which disappeared from the Word, but stills ok in the others Office sw.
Thanks anyway.

Acrobat add-in for Office 2007 Word

I had a problem with the tab for acrobat in Word 2007 it suddenly decided to disappear. I found it in the disabled add-ins. but it would not re activate.
the solution was to completely remove the add-in and then add it back in from the file menu. all now works as it should

Presenter has never been a "free" download. If you are a
member of the Authors group in Connect then you can get your plugin
from the "Getting Started" link on your homepage. The current build
is Presenter 6.2 and it does work in Office 2007.

Conversion anomalies with Acrobat Professional 8 and Word 2007

We recently upgraded to Word 2007 from 2003. I updated a Word 2003 document, as I do every year, with minimal changes. When I converted it to pdf with Acrobat 8.1.5, two unexpected things happened. One, none of the hyperlinks converted--they've always converted perfectly in the past. Two, numbers were inserted in front of each bookmark. They're sequential, starting at 0B for the Heading 1's and counting through the Heading 2's, then the 3's to 29B (the bookmarks are three levels). Here are some screen shots. One is with the unwelcome numbers, the other is how the bookmarks should look.
I went back to last year's document (the new document is simply that document renamed and updated) and converted it, and everything is fine. The only difference I know of in the two other than text changes is that last year's is file name extension is .doc and this year's is .docx.
Can anyone tell me why these numbers are appearing in the bookmarks and why the hyperlinks did not convert?
Beth

Apologies to everyone--I managed to insert the wrong screen shot above. From reading further here, however, I see that you're all familiar with the problem. Adobe has not fixed it? My document is about as simple as they get. Hard to believe they would ignore such a widespread problem with even very basic conversions.

Acrobat Pro 9 and Word 2007

We've been using Pro9 in Office 2007 for about 12 months with no problems. Couple of weeks ago it hung up and after rebooting Acrobat had disappeared as a toolbar option. Excel is fine but not Word. Converting from scanner is also OK. Have uninstalled and reinstalled but cannot get Acrobat back in Word. If using Adobe menu and "create from file" it tells us that "PDF Maker Files are missing". I see that Office 2010 has a similar problem and wondered whether this was Microsoft update problem, Anybody got any ideas?

Completely remove an add-in from Word 2007

Hi everyone,
I have MS office 2007 running on my laptop and my OS is Windows 7.
Lately I installed Ginger spell checker (both desktop and chrome app) and it was also integrated in Word. For reasons I uninstalled the software and removed the chrome extension as well. However, the Ginger icons still show up in the right-click option in
word.
I cleaned all the files and folders containing word "Ginger", I removed hkeys and registries; so, I expect not to see the icons in word again but shockingly they are still there!
Ginger doesn't show up in Word add-in list, and neither do I see it in other Office softwares....
Any idea what can I do to get rid of it; because although it causes no harm, it's kind of annoying to see these useless icons!
Thank you.

Through googling I found another solution which was easy for me to follow:
Close all MS Office Apps including Outlook.
In regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, go to Software-Microsoft-Office-12.0-Word.
Rename Data to OldData
Rename Options to OldOptions
Close Regedit
In RUN (Start Menu) enter %appdata%
Goto Microsoft/Templates and make a back up of this folder.
Erase folder contents.
Start Word and the right-click menu should be reset to default.
Well, Actually yes, it worked for me and reset the contextual menu.

Acrobat 8 Standard And Word 2007 Rotated Pictures

When I make a PDF file from Word, either printing with distiller or saving through the Save option, I get low quality pictures.
The pictures that havn't been rotated at all show up perfectly, however, pictures that I rotated 5 degrees or so for effect come out terrible - the quality is like a low low quality jpg and the edges are all jagged and uneven.
I used the standard settings, then I chose 400 dpi for the picture quality and highest jpg quality, and no resampling - and the pictures were still terrible.
This appears to be a bug in something in the adobe creation software.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

To PDL
It doesn't matter what are the names of these forums. Major companies provide these *official* forums to harvest troubleshooting results of their products for free. You never be able to test your product on this number of various environment this much cheap.
Unlike their support services these "USER" forums provides them with those product issues they are looking for without ANY obligation to solve them or even accept their existence. And best of all they collect all these information at no cost.
However, in honest and considerate companies, development team members share their opinions with forum users. They even admit they are aware of issues but have no solution for them at this time. If team members do not have enough time for providing feedback, they somehow use *well-trained* individuals to discuss the issues.
Those companies do not "Read and Hide". They "read and discuss".
Anyway, unfortunatly, the links you found are not related to this discussion. They are about PDFMaker issue in other component of Office not Outlook.

Missing ACROBAT Tap from MS Word 2007 for Windows top Menu

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.

Cannot Export from Acrobat to Word

I have Acrobat Pro version 8.1.3 and Word 2007. There is a very prominent Icon right on the top toolbar that tells me I can Export to Word. However, I cannot. I get results that either strip all formatting away from the Text or yield strange results. I have also tried converting to word via .rtf and .txt.
After Exporting to .doc from Acrobat, and opening Word, instead of recognizing the document as a Word-97 (.doc), Word offers to convert the .doc from an .rtf! What is wrong here? It would appear that the conversion from PDF to Word-97 is not being done correctly. I have read many posts similar to mine, but I have not garnered any resolutions to the problem! Is PDF a read-only format?
Forgive me, but I am unclear as to what I would use the full version of Acrobat for if not to export the document into an editable form. PDF documents come from all over the place, and it would be nice to see the full Acrobat Pro do what it promises --- I need to edit PDF's just about every day! If Acrobat cannot do this conversion, I'll need to spend $180.00 on upgrading my OCR program to do the job.
Another Thought: (In case this is an Adobe vs Microsoft issue): Would it be easier to convert the PDF into InDesign? I just looked at this. and do not see a menu option to import PDF files in InDesign. My strong preference would be to get the PDF into a fully editable form in Word.
Additional info: One report of this type problem advised use of Acrobat conversion settings to change some things -- that will not work for me as the only setting I have is whether to include comments or not! Another problem-like-this-solver suggested "embedding the fonts" into the .pdf -- this will not work either as my system has lots of Open Source fonts, but my .pdf has, you guessed it, all True Type fonts. All of my software and Vista-64 OS are up-to-date. Yes, the PDF is in text form, albeit using True-Type fonts -- so no, the "Advanced Editing tool" does not work either -- but offers to do one line at a time -- I have a 10-page document!
Please help!!!! Suggestions??? Thanks!

The ability to go backwards depends on the way in which the PDF was created. Generally, going to WORD is marginal as you have found out. If the tags were created with the PDF, then the formatting and such can often be gotten back due to the tags. Looks like you have a basic PDF. In terms of going backwards, that was never the main purpose of Acrobat (it is always recommended that you retain an original copy of your documents to work with). Acrobat was designed to produce a Portable Document Format (PDF) that could be read on basically any platform and look identical. As long as the fonts are embedded and such, that is usually what exists. All of the other items are add-ons to provide additional features. How well these features work depends on the information available in the PDF.
At times, I have found I can get a reasonable DOC file by saving as a HTML file and opening the HTML file in WORD. Not the cleanest way, but it works at times. Some documents can be saved directly to DOC files and look great, others are pretty bad. However, you are still better off in that you don't have to start typing from scratch. It is a lot easier to add some formatting that it is to start over.

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.

Using add-ins in Word and Excel, I want to create pdfs to display page fit and with bookmark panel displayed. I cannot find how to do this.

I am trying to create pdfs using add-ins in Word and Excel through Acrobat Pro XI. I cannot set defaults for page size or bookmark display. Does anyone know how to do this?

Page size is dictated by what is configured for the authoring file. For custom pages sizes you'd make a matching custom page size for Acrobat (see Acrobat's Help).
For PDF Bookmarks you use Acrobat's PDFMaker with a supported version of Word or Excel.
You configure the PDFMaker's Preferences such that PDF Bookmarks can be made.
Coming from Word the default Word Headings are used. You can also configure to used the default Word Styles.
Coming from Excel you can only use the names of the worksheets within a work book.
Alternatively you can create Bookmarks for a PDF manually using Acrobat XI (and earlier versions).
Note that Word "Bookmarks" are in no way the same as PDF "Bookmarks".
Be well...

Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

Hi,
I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

Reinstalling Acrobat Pro Add In to Word 2010

I had to reinstall my office 2010 on my computer. I am also running Acrobat xi Pro which was fine and did not need to be reinstalled.
When the installation and updates to Office 2010 were completed I noted that my Acrobat xi Pro add-in for word was gone.
I need to reinstall it. How do I do that without reinstalling the enite Acrobat xi Pro application?
Gordon Jacobson

Sorry but your response is incorrect.
One does NOT have to reinstall Acrobat Pro to fix this problem. I figured out that all one had to do was run the Repair tool which can be found in the Help pulldown menu.
BTW, the add-ins were NOT disabled. They had been removed.

Word 2007 Acrobat X Pro Plugin adds garbage to PDF Headers

I'm generating PDFs from Word 2007 using the Acrobat X Pro plugin, which is inserting garbage into some of my headers during the process. I can actually see it happen during PDF generation. The Word headers and footers are enabled and the garbage suddenly appears. For some reason, its usually an 0B prefix attached to the headers.
It doesn't happen to all headers and not with any pattern or consistency.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Steve. It's just aggravating that I have to go through an extra set of steps to do this on a Mac.
I appreciate the help!
