Office 2010 : PDF Maker Pane is missing in ribbon

Hi,
After upgrading from MICROSOFT Office 2007 to 2010, I notice that PDF Maker is missing in Office Ribbon.
I tried Repairing & Reinstalling ADOBE Acrobat 9.0 (+ Update to 9.3.2) but still the same problem.
Another try :
Fresh install of Windows XP SP3 + Office 2010 Pro + Acrobat 9.0 + Acrobat Update to 9.2.0 + Acrobat Update to 9.3.2
Same Problem
COM Addin is active but PDF Maker Pane is missing in Office 2010 Ribbon.
I tried soluce in article 330984 (kb) but without success.
... so is Acrobat PDF Maker Addin is compatible with Office 2010 Pro (Word, Excel, ...) ?
Is there a fix or should I wait next patch from ADOBE ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Pramod Sarma
I've updated my Acrobat to 9.3.4, rebooted my system, I see the Add-in under Options> Add-ins> Active Application Add-ins and can choose it under COM Add-Ins. BUT it does NOT show up in the Menu Bar of the Program Word, Excel, etc. No Tab, No nothing. Its still doesn't work.
Does anyone have a trick to reactivate it somehow?
AND by the way, YOU CAN select Save-As and Select PDF and it works JUST fine! I just did it.
Also, as fix for all of you that say we are whining about not having the PDF maker "QUICK" links in the menu-bar, YES you can click File>Print and choose PDF to print to as well.
It would just be nice to have a ONE-CLICK option back.
Thanks!
SO, to RECAP... you can do the Two or Three Click options of PRINT and choose PDF or you can do SAVE-AS and choose PDF.... BUT again it would be nice to have a working ONE Click option. Thank you again

Office 2010 PDF erstellen mit Reader X öffnen

Hallo Zusammen
Nach dem Erstellen eines PDF-Files aus dem Office 2010 wird dieses mit dem Standard PDF-Reader geöffnet (Adobe Reader X).
Nach der Installation von Acrobat X Standard wird dieses PDF-File mit dem Acrobat X geöffnet, obwohl der Adobe Reader X als Standard-Software für das Öffnen von PDF-Files konfiguriert ist.
Meine Frage: Wie kann man dem Office 2010 beibringen, dass es auf den Reader verweisen soll?
Danke für euer Feedback.

Rechte Maustaste > öffnen mit > standardprogramm wählen…
Aber weshalb willst Du den Reader verwenden, wenn Du Acrobat hast?

PDF Maker icons ("Acrobat (8 Pro) ribbon") missing Outlook 2007 Win XP

Hi. I have Acrobat 8 Pro and Outlook 2007 (not Outlook Express) on Win XP patched current, and the PDF Maker icons ("Acrobat ribbon") is missing from my Outlook Mail window.
Acrobat Create PDF is in the Menu in Word 2007 and works fine there.
I have followed all the instructions in
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403561.html
and all in
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401734.html
except Acrobat Repair or re-installing Acrobat (or Registry edit which is clearly not called for as the dll is already Active), and still no joy. I have verified that PDFMOutlook.dll is in the Active list in Trust Center (and of course therefore it is not disabled) in my Outlook. Still, it fails to appear in my drop-list of Toolbars, therefore I cannot fix the problem myself because the standard answer (choose that Toolbar) is not available on my workstation.
====> Do you recommend un-installing and re-installing? If yes, are you saying there is no risk I will make matters worse? Is there instead some way for me to determine what is actually wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Jim

Tried from another computer with XP and 8 Pro still didn't work so tried from a Win7 machine with adobe X standard and it worked everytime. Just ordered the upgrade because their time is more valuable than the cost.
Thanks

PDF Maker not shown in excel 2013 ribbon

I have got Windows 7 64-bit. I have excel 2013 installed on it. I have recently installed every version of adobe acrobat reader but when i open excel I cant see the PDF Maker add-in in the ribbon.
I have checked it in COM-Add ins list and it is being marked checked. But its not showing up. I have currently installed version 11 of adobe acrobat XI Pro. But issue remains same.
I have searched on google.com a lot but did not find anything.
Can anyone help?
What should I install to get the PDF Maker in the ribbon? Any fixes?

You have to do the updates to AA XI before the ribbon comes up in OFFICE. OFFICE 2013 came out after AA XI and the updates addressed the fixes.

New font versions installed by Office 2010

Hi Forum,
I know that e.g. the Calibri font is updated with a newer version when installing Office 2010.
What I am missing is a list that tells me which fonts to update on a print server. Running a pure print server includes NOT having Office packs installed. Therefore the fonts will never be updated and I do not like the idea that I cannot upload correct fonts
to the server in good time rather than having to wait until users reports issues printing.
How do others overcome this issue on their print queues? I would assume that rendering on the client would overcome this problem. But then it will give the users extra CPU load and increase the size of the spool jobs from the client to the server.
Thanks,
David

But just getting the list is only part of the solution. How do I prevent this from ever happening. I can never be in control of the font versions installed on the client PCs.
What are others doing?

PDF Maker Issue - can't find add-in in adobe folder, doesn't work in MS Office 2010.

Hi Guys,
Since last few years I've been using Adobe Acrobat Reader (IX, X, XI) on my Sony Vaio.
It was integrated with MS Office 2010 and worked perfect with Outlook, Word, and Excel.
Last week I had serious isues with my notebook and had to do a clean instalation of Windows 7 64-bit.
I installed all software back (Eset Endpoint Antivirus 5, MS Office 2010 32-bit, etc.) and at the end, yesterday
I finally installed Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (free). Then I noticed with dissapointment that there is no Adobe ribbon.
I did everything mentioned here PDFMaker unavailable | Office 2007, Office 2010 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI
including instalation in a simplified mode, but it doesn't work for me.
The path mentioned in above link doesn't exist in my computer "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat [9.0 or 10.0]\PDFMaker\Office".
I can find only: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader" - a path to AR app. There is no PDFMaker folder at all.
And another path: "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Replicate" - Replicate is the only folder under "11.0".
Do You have any idea what I could do to instal PDFMaker module , and use it with MS Office 2010?
Sorry for my poor English.
I'll be very gratefull for help.

If you have all of those Adobe Reader products on your system, you are asking for problems. Adobe states one should not have more than one copy of an application on their system.
Reader has no plug-in for MS Office of any version.
Only Acrobat has a plug-in for MS Office. Again Adobe does not approve of more than one copy of Acrobat on a system. And if you dare to have Reader on the same system then Acrobat and Reader should be at the same major version.

Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
Just can't get this working. Help!!!

Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

Missing PDFMaker-files - Acrobat 7.0 / Office 2010

Hi,
I have a problem to create PDF files from Office documents.
Acrobat Professional 7.1.0
Microsoft Office Professional 2010
I get the error message "missing PDFMaker files".
Office 2010 is a new installation. With my old Office 2003 I had no problems.
I tried to activate/deactivate the Office Add-ins and change the security options.
I tried to register the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll in my system32 folder (I can't register the other DLLs).
I tried to contact the telephone support, but my version is too old.
Does anyone know what I can do? Or do I need an update?
Thanks!

I had this problem on a Vista PC.
I only required Excel to work. but im sure its a similar process for Word etc.
I was still able to make PDF's with the 'Adobe PDF' printer function.
Click File
Click Options
Click Add-Ins
Select 'Acrobat PDF Maker Office .COM Addin'
From the Dropbox at the bottom select "Excel Addins"
- Click Go
- UN-SELECT Any Acrobat or PDFMaker listing
From the Dropbox at the bottom select "COM Addins"
- Click Go
- Check the box "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" IS selected
- If NOT.. Click Add and browse to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
- If your version is NOT 10.0 it will be a different folder ie 7.0 8.0 etc
From the Dropbox at the bottom select "Disabled Items"
- Click Go
- Make sure PDFMaker is NOT disabled
This fix may seem trivial however i spent a long time working on this problem.
I tried different versions
I manually removed Acrobat http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400658.html
I updated Office
I played with Macro security settings in Office
I tried different PDF settings in Distiller
All of this did nothing.
Remove it from the Excel Add-in
Leave it in the COM Add-in
I had no problems with Windows 7. Just Vista
I hope this works for someone else too.

Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
Thanks in advance!

Pdf creator from office 2010

I have windows 7 64 bit installed. When I want to create a pdf from a office file it does not print. I do get a message to store to a certain locations. after that it does not work at all.
I have tried from the word/excel file and from my pdf 9 software. both do not work. when the file is small it sometimes works?
In the beginning it works after downloading updates I have these problems uninstall and install again was not a succes either. I have the adobe acrobat 9 standard.
can somebody help me?

Hey Bill,

Both of you may be using 64-bit versions of OFFICE. If so, I don't even think the print function will work. If you are using a 64-bit office, try a 32-bit version instead. Even AA X has a problem with the 64-bit OFFICE, but am not sure if it is just in PDF Maker or with the print. As for OFFICE 2010, you do need at AA X with updates to use PDF Maker. With AA 9, you can only print.
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer works fine from the 64-bit office as documented here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/882/cpsid_88296.html

Acrobat X Pro + Office 2010: missing text fields

Win7/64
Using the PDF printer
Hi,
very strange problem: simple TIF file (tried different bitmap formats) in a Word 2010 document (graphic before text) and a simple textfield -- not more.
Printing as PDF (with various settings) -- but the text(field) is missing in the PDF output.
Same behaviour in Acrobat Pro 9 and Office 2010.
With Word 2003 I did not have such annoying problems...
Can anybody help me? I'm trying and trying and ...
Carlos

Problem seems to occur more often: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/838524
And I am having it too on Adobe Standard 9.4.4.
Text in text box from Word 2010 is not output in PDF (even not hidden). The text box background is copied over in the PDF. Reproducible. And if I put multiple text boxes on each other, sometimes a few or parts of characters appear.
I find Microsoft Save as PDF not an option, it has numerous worse bugs. Good to know that the problems also appears with Acrobat X. That save me an upgrade to test whether it has been solved by a newer release.

Office 2010 created PDF only bringing up Work with Certificates option with Signing

When creating PDF documents with Microsoft Word 2010, the only Sign option showing is Work With Certificates and is greyed, I Need To Sign and Get Others to Sign is missing. My previous PC with Windows 7/Office 2010 and Reader Xi was able to sign documents. I'm also able on my old XP machine to create a dummy pdf in Word 2010 and sign it in Reader, and on my Windows8/Office 2013/Reader Xi PC. Any idea as to where this might have been broken?
With the PDF file created in 2013, I Ctrl+D'd to get the security settings as it's commonly suggested that electronic signatures is failing because of a setting there, however I'm still able to sign it with Signing: Not Allowed and get the full signing menu instead of the Work With Certificates.

How do you add "Adobe PDF" as a "printer" in Office 2010/Windows 7

Although with most of the programs you can just save documents and spread sheets as PDFs, in Power Point, it does not allow you the option to save a slide as a PDF with the notes displayed in the PDF, only the slide is transformed to PDF, the notes do not show on them.
Goal: To have notes and slide saved as a PDF
Challenge: Just saving the slide as a PDF does not display notes
Solution in past: Print to Adobe PDF using the Print function and "print" using the notes or outline options in the print window
Problem: ADOBE PDF is not an option in my printer section anymore.
Question: How do I make PDF a "Printer" in with Office 2010 or in general using Windows 7

You make not mention of Acrobat and what version you might have. For Office 2010 to do as you want, you need PDF Maker and will have to have AA X for Office 2010. To get the Adobe PDF printer you could install either AA9 or AAX in Win7. Some folks have been successful with AA8 in Win 7. If you don't have Acrobat, then it is time to order it.
