Cannot restore PDF Maker and Add-in to MS Word 2007

Hi,
I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed as part of CS4 Design Premium onto Win Vista + MS Office 2007 environment.
When this was first done, "Acrobat" menu showed on MS Word's ribbon but this had disappeared and replaced by ScanSoft PDF Create 4 add-in menu, which was bundled with an OCR program.
Unfortunately, the PDFs produced by this version of PDF Create isn't compatible with Auto Field Detection of Acrobat 9 to create fillable PDF forms so I uninstalled PDF Create and ran Acrobat installer in repair mode several times but the "Acrobat" menu doesn't get retored on MS Word and I still get
     "Missing PDF Maker Files   Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
error message every time I try to convert *.docx file into PDF from Explorer using contextual menu.
How can I rectify this?
I'm using subscription version of CS4 Design Premium.

Hi again
I've since found out that Acrobat PDFMaker Add-in was in the disabled list of MS Office Word Add-ins.
In fact, the situation is pretty much described in Solution 1 of http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401734.html and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403561.html (thanks, CtDave!) so I followed the instruction to enable the Add-in.
It was, however, not possible to simply enable the PDFMaker Add-in as it rejected my attempt to tick the box by indicating I have to do this as administrator (below is the stuff I get when running Word as Maki, i.e. non-admin)
It gets more confusing when I DID run Word as administrator, the PDFMaker Add-in wasn't disabled (see below)
There is no menu item like "share the setting with other users" so I'm stuck.
I did go to MS Office Word Forum and saw people posting similar problems but it seems they are trying to send people to Adobe Forum...
Any suggestions?

  • Cannot convert {PRINT "[/DEST/destination /DEST pdfmark"\*MERGEFORMAT} from Word 2007 to bookmark

    Hi,
    Please help, We used to have word 2003 and we have below formula for bookmark so that when we convert it, there's bookmark in pdf. However, when we migrated to Word 2007, it stops working. When I am doing merge files into a single pdf, what I get for bookmark is the document title. Is there a compatibility issue? Or what is really the problem? Can you help me? Btw, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Thank you in advance.
      "\*MERGEFORMAT}
    {PRINT "[/DEST/destination /DEST pdfmark

A: Cannot convert {PRINT "[/DEST/destination /DEST pdfmark"\*MERGEFORMAT} from Word 2007 to bookmark

Are you using the Adobe PDF printer to produce a .ps or .prn file first and then using Distiller to produce the PDF.  I have found that Distiller recognizes and renders the /DEST pdfmark operators it encounters in Word 2010 .docx file.  It has also been my experience that when I build a book PDF from multiple PDFs, I must insert the pages from each file.  In that way, the named destinations are given the correct page in the book PDF file.  I learned that using automatic merge prevented links to named destinations from working. I think the reason is that if you use the automatic merge, the named destinations retain the page of the original PDF file, and therefore, links to them do not work. 
Hope that helps

  • Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

         Ever since I downloaded the Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker has not worked, but instead causes MS Word 2013 to crash. I cannot find the cause or the solution.
    forumnotifier

    OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
    The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
    File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
    When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
    If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine.  If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
    In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button.  That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
    The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
    Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
    Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
    Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

  • Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

    Dear Portal Gurus,
    Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
    I am using the following KM service to download the content.
    public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){                    
    /////  after a few lines  ////
         if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
    // create a resource context with the authenticated user
         rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
    // create a RID to handle a resource
          aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
              try {
              // get an instance of a resource factory
                     final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
    // retrieve a folder/file  with context

                 byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
                 objInputStream.read(theBytes);

    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

  • Create Folder with DDX in PDF Package and add files in an specific Folder

    Hi everyone, I can create a package or portfolio that contains a directory structure and add pdf documents at different times to a specific directory and expand its content similar to a digital file which incrementally add documents?
    If you know of any example would help me a lot.
    Thanks.

  • Co-author cannot access track change and add/delete scenes

    My co-author cannot access track change or add/delete scenes. Is it a bug or is there a setting that I did not set correctly.  I shared the document as co-author several times with the same results. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Brice

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately, currently only owner of the document has the right to turn on/off track changes or accept/reject changes. Co-author can still view the document as Original or Final from Review menu or even navigate through the changes using Next Change/Previous Change. Extending the track changes rights to co-author as well is being considered on our backlog of items to do.
    Meanwhile, the co-author should still be able to go ahead and edit existing text, add new text, delete existing text and it should be getting tracked.
    Do keep providing us your feedback on the track changes feature. Your feedback is extremely important to us and helps us to improve.
    Thanks

  • Uploaded softwear on phone last night, now my computer cannot restore the phone and update. about 5min into it, i get the message that iphone has not been restored even though that is the button i clicked on.

    I upgraded my iphone last night on the phone, today I cannot get the computer and the phone to work together. When I click restore iPhone, and my only choice is to restore and upgrade, when it starts the upgrade, it says the phone has not been restored.  I did just upgrade the itunes on the computer also.

    This may not solve your problem but may clear up a couple of things.
    1: Re the connected to wi-fi, plugged in and locked thing is for automatic backups. It doesn't need to be plugged in or locked for it to work when you go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap Back Up Now. Mine completes the backup quickly without being plugged in or locking (but I don't have a lot to backup).
    2: Locked just means the lock screen is on (press the sleep/wake button on top) -- it will work without a passcode (& again, the lock screen on is only required for the automatic backup).
    3: You can see what is using your storage and maybe reduce some of it so that you don't have to pay for storage. Instructions in Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Need to open existing .pdf files and add footer, then save files again

    I would like to know how to go about opening a folder containing .pdf files, adding a footer to each file, then saving the file.
    I wanted to check first and see if this would be possible and if so, how to go about doing so.  Is this something that can be accomplished in a batch file?
    We are using Acrobat 5.0 to create the .pdf, but I don't know if we need a newer version to accomplish what I am looking to do.
    Thanks for any info you can give me.

    Hi,
    fwiw - Acrobat 5 (full) supported Batch Sequences.
    The "facility" was provided as an add-on available on the installation media.
    Be well...

  • Cannot send pdf as and e-mail attachment

    I am having a problem.  We used GroupWise as our e-mail client and everyone had no problems clicking on the "Email" button in Acrobat Standard and a new e-mail came up with the pdf file as an attachment.
    However, we have changed from Groupwise to Exchange/Outlook and now when you click on the email button, the profiles dialog box comes up.  There is only one profile (called Outlook) and when you select it and click ok, the box goes away and and error comes up "An error occurred while sending mail."
    Outlook is set as the default mail client and the Outlook profile is set and the one to use all the time.
    Any ideas on what the problem is?

    I have figured out a work-around.  Create a bookmark, then delete it, and then Send PDF as email attachment.  I had to do this in Adobe 7 and hoped that someone would have corrected this problem by the time I got Adobe 9.  Evidently not, but at least I can make it do what I need.  Hope this helps you, too!
