PDF maker toolbar inactive in Office 2013

Hello. I have Adobe Acrobat Standard XI installed on Windows 7 Pro with Office 2013 Home & Business. The PDF Maker toolbar is not visible in any Office application. In Excel, Options, Add-ins, the Adobe Acrobat Create PDF Toolbar is listed as an Inactive Application Add-in. How do I make it active?
Thanks.
Chris

Did you install the updates? They are required to work with Office 2013 that was released after AA XI.

  • How to remove PDF Maker toolbars from Office/Word/Outlook ??

    Cannot find a solution for this anywhere:
    Using:
    - CS 3 Design Suite with Acrobat installed (going to Control Panel > Add/Remove/Change CS3, no options available for Acrobat, only install/re-install)
    - Office 2003.
    The annoying toolbar appears in Outlook and Word, tried registry hacks, 'Templates & Add-ins' (no option to uncheck PDF Maker).
    Can't get rid of it.
    Any help?

    You go back to the repair and remove the PDF Maker option in the install. Basically to not get that option on install, you would have done a custom install and disabled PDF Maker. Unless you are really super annoyed, I would suggest you just leave them there as it is likely that in the future you will want them to be able to transfer links, bookmarks, and such (it is needed for that functionality).

  • PDF Maker Problems in All Office Applications

    The PDF Maker add-in shows in the add-in add-in manager as ACTIVE in Word and Excel 2013 but I see no Acrobat toolbar nor anything related to Acrobat under the generic add-in toolbar. I am using Acrobat XI with Office 2013. Both Acrobat and Word were just updated. I have searched this forum and the internet for a solution but had no success. Also, if anyone knows where to find the serial number, I'd apprecaite it. You can't live chat without it.
    Thanks,

    Here's a screenshot:

    Hi Vikrant
    thanks for the message…..subsequent to posting on the forum, I discovered that the problem was due to the fact that my version of Acrobat Pro - 11.0.00 required updating;  once I did this, the problem fixed and the Adobe ribbon appeared again the my office files.
    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.

  • How do you make SharePoint graphics in Office 2013 now that Picture Manager is gone?

    FYI I was asked to post below question in this group by a Microsoft Support Engineer in the Office 2013 support forum:
    In SharePoint a majority of out-of-the-box webparts, like "promoted links" and site icon, requires users to resize graphics to exact pixel width and height before uploading to avoid scaling issues. How do we do that without using a third-party
    tool, now that Picture Manager is not in Office 2013?
    I'm generally fine with re-shuffling products/features, but it seems to me that SharePoint is part of the Office product group, so some consideration must have been made to ensure, that the requirements of one product still fit the features of the other.
    Thank you
    Anders

    Hi Anders,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to resize the graphics.
    You are correct that Office Picture Manager was removed from Office 2013. Inside programs such as PowerPoint and Word there are still editing tools. You also have Windows
    Live Photo Gallery  which I feel is a much more program specific picture editing tool.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Re: How do I activate the Adobe pdf maker toolbar for Internet Explorer (Windows 8.1) Please !

    Greetings one and all.
    I would apprecite any advide and/or instructions on the designated subject matter.
    I downloaded the Adobe pdfmaker toolbar and activated it as per the instructions over the internet.
    It seemed to work well until I updagraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 (free upgrade).
    I'd appreciate any added feedback from any/all individuals who have experienced the same issue.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Do you have all the latest point updates for Acrobat XI installed?  11.0.06 was the first point version to support IE11.

  • 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

  • My Acrobat tab is missing in Office 2013

    I have office 2013 (Windows 7) and Acrobat XI (Creative Cloud). I have always had an Acrobat tab and have used it successfully many times to create PDFs. Recently it has gone missing. I no longer have the tab, and I can no longer create PDFs. I can still print to PDF, but this does not create any book marks for headings and such in Word, so the PDF is not very useful to me. I frequently create large documents and really need that feature that the ribbon tab gave me to be able to have all the Word headings converted to bookmarks in the PDF.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling: Acrobat, the PDF Maker, the PDF Maker and Acrobat, and Office all to no avail. This morning I unistalled Office and Acrobat, rebooted, then reinstalled and still nothing. When you open Options in Word, it shows the addin is not checked (disabled) If i try to check it, it does not take. I mainly create PDFs from Word, so this is my primary concern, but I also checked the other Office apps. In Outlook, it shows it also unchecked with a message below that says there was an error loading. Excel and PointPoint interesting enough show the plugin loaded, but there is still no ribbon tab, nor buttons.
    Here are some images:
    So I am at a loss. I am not sure how to fix this problem, or what caused it in the first place. As it used to work just fine on this computer.
    Any assistance is apprecaited. Thank you.

    When you post, do not expect an immediate answer. We users do not live on this site and check periodically. However, one of us is often around. I was considering replying about doing the updates when I got to your second post. Actually 11.0.01 is even old. You should be able to do updates from the Help menu in Acrobat or download them from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. The updates generally have to be installed in order (most are not cummulative).
    WORD 2013 was released after Acrobat 11.0.0, requiring the updates for Acrobat to properly operate. Even if a beta was available, Adobe does not generally target the beta for updates since they are often totally different from the final release, wasting a lot of programming time on the part of Adobe.

  • How can I keep word"s "acrobat pdf maker" from appearing ?

    logically, all of the toolbars items (view menu) in Word should only appear if you ask for them
    since nothing at microsoft seems to be logical, the "adobe pdf maker" toolbar appears constantly when you open a file so that you then have to throw it away to keep it from using up and cluttering the screen
    I have tried everything I know to get rid of this pesky thing - any suggestions?

    Hi, Joseph.
    You haven't stated the version of MS Office you are using, but the following instructions, written with Office 2004 in mind, will also work for Office v.X.
    How to remove the PDFMaker toolbar in MS Office applications
    The PDFMaker toolbar launcher is saved in an application-specific directory for each Office application. The general format of the directory path is:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/office_application
    Therefore, to remove the PDFMaker toolbar from MS Word, trash the PDFmaker file found in the directory:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word/
    Do likewise for Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
    Note that Adobe Acrobat automatically checks the state of its features — like PDFMaker — when it is launched. Depending on the version of Acrobat you have installed, it may try to replace these files after you have deleted them. Adobe Acrobat has a "Do not ask again" option if it offers to "repair" these files
    Note that the same instructions work under Office v.X.
    Good luck!

  • Office 2013 Volume License Activation question

    Hello,
    we have software assurance, so MAK and KMS are available for O2013.
    I cannot use KMS server (there are reasons for now). So I have to use MAK. I know that it is possible later on to convert MAK to KMS.
    I found topic about ADBA. But missing few points from the description after my 2 questions.
    1. Can I use KMS key for use with Volume Activation Tool without actually having KMS installed?
    2.  at the end it says just 180 days activation. What will happen then?
    From:
    http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/tip/Using-Active-Directory-activation-and-other-new-Office-2013-tools
    -------Prior to Office 2013, IT had to rely on Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS) activation. These processes were generally more complex than ADBA. Little has changed with either MAK or KMS in Office 2013. With ADBA, however,
    IT can easily
    activate Office 2013 clients through their connections to the domain.
    To implement ADBA, administrators must use the Volume Activation Tools utility, which walks them through the setup process. After admins supply the KMS host key, the setup process adds an activation object to the
    Active Directory Domain Services. The activation object uses the same Generic Volume Licenses Key (GVLK) and KMS host pair as that for regular KMS activation. When the client joins the domain, the activation object automatically activates the Office installation,
    granting a license to the client for 180 days. --------------

    Q1) there is a KMShost product key, and there is a KMSclient product key.
    The KMShost product key, you install this in your KMShost machine, and the client machines which have the KMSclient product key will contact your KMShost machine for activation.
    Volume Licensed products are provided by MSFT with the KMSclient product key already installed. The KMSclient product keys are also publically available in the TechNet library documentation.
    VAMT can be used, with or without KMS installed. VAMT is not part of KMS, and, KMS is not part of VAMT.
    ADBA is not part of VAMT and VAMT is not part of ADBA.
    ADBA can only be used if your AD is at the later version, and, ADBA only works for the latest products like Windows8 and Office2013.
    If you have older AD or older products you will still need to have KMS or MAK.
    Q2) after 180days, it's the same as KMS - the KMSclient (or ADBA client) will enter "non-genuine" mode if the client has not contacted ADBA object (or KMShost) to renew the activation status.
    This wiki article I put together, includes a few helpful links about ADBA and KMS:

    Try running SETUP.EXE from an elevated command prompt instead of a PowerShell window.

  • Word, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and PDF Maker

    I am still using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and I also have Office 2010 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Is there a way to get PDF Maker to work in Office? Right now when I open Word for example the PDF tab does not appear anywhere. I tried running the repair feature in Acrobat but nothing has changed.
    I believe Office needs to be installed first then Acrobat so PDF Maker can be installed. I did this intially when I had Office 2007 but then I unintalled it and installed Office 2010 and I'm guessing that is why things aren't working. Am I going to need to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?

    Acrobat 9.x is not compatible with MS Office 2010

  • PDF maker issue in Leopard and Word 2004

    I just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Word 2004 (11.3.8). When using Word in 10.4, the PDF Maker toolbar worked fine. Now in Leopard, using the PDF Maker button, I get an error that the printer is not present. But it is there and I can print to Acrobat printer fro the print menu of any app. I tried repair acrobat installation from the Acrobat help menu. But that keeps telling me I have Safari or a Microsoft app open when all are closed.
    Thoughts?

    Repair the printer subsystem not needed/done in Leopard according to other sources.
    I tried:
    Start-up in safe mode
    new test account with no login items
    repair permissions
    maintenance tasks
    still, I get the message from Acrobat that I need to quit MS or Safari apps.
    Very strange!

  • Adobe 8.2.2 PDF Maker Problem

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8.2.2 Professional; Windows XP; Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003; Outlook.
    PDF Maker was working fine until last week when I was advised to removed an older version of Acrobat (7).  I did and I suspect it has been since than that PDF Maker no longer appears in Outlook, etc and if I try to save an email in PDF the program closes and Outlook Inbox reopens??
    I have repaired, re-installed both Acrobat and Office but the same issue exists -- no PDF Maker.
    All help will be greatly appreciated as to how I can get PDF Maker back in my Office Programs.  I use it (used to!) a lot.
    Thanks so much.
    Sue of Hendersonville

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for trying to help.  I've repaired and reinstalled ad nausea to no
    avail.  So, I've decided to just take a work around and use the PDF printer
    for my emails and forget PDF Maker.
    I checked for updates and it said I currently have all the updates.
