PDFMaker reinstall

Have had to re-install Reader as a result of harware failure. How do we activate the PDFMaker add-on which is still current on the new installation?

Ah, Ok. You just open the Tools panel and sign in. ExportPDF subscriptions go with a particular Adobe ID.

  • I am missing PDF Printer (PDFMaker), have reinstalled Adobe Professional and even did a repair making sure I added the PDFMaker options - it still will not add the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) option - which is necessar to use with our document comparison softw

    Please help me add back the PDF Printer - I am missing the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Professional 10, I have tried repairing it and made sure the options for PDFMaker are selected, to no avail.  I need the PDF Printer to use with our document comparison product, using the add printer options and adding the Adobe converters doesn't fix this issue either, it just adds an option to convert documents to PDF to a local folder which doesn't fix the issue.
    I have a contract for Adobe Support but cannot reach a technician by 1-800 number, does anyone (1) have a solution to this problem? and (2) a telephone number for which I can call for assistance?
    Thanks!

  • PDFMaker loads but won't work in Word 2013 - Acrobat XI and DC - Win 8.1 Pro

    OK, I opened a question that never got answered and it never was resolved...
    Just updated to Acrobat DC - same problem exists...
    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro fully up to date..
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 Pro (I have an Office 365 subscription so it's the click-to-run install).
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro DC.
    I've rebooted (a full restart, not Win 8's fast boot restart) between each installation.
    I've tried this in multiple Office applications, none of them work EXCEPT for Outlook.
    For the following I will use Word as my examples...
    I've uninstalled all plug-ins and still it won't work.
    I've tried running Word as Administrator.... still won't work.
    OK... so this is what it looks like... as you can see the toolbar loads, but no icons...
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/wsbs4kon3z4e965/Word%20Acrobat%20Screenshot.jpg?dl=0
    When you click on those buttons... it goes through the motions as if it were creating the PDF... but no file is ever created...
    If I right-click on a Word document and select Convert to PDF - it goes through the motions of creating the PDF, asks me where to save... and then a dialog box named "Acrobat PDFMaker" comes up saying " {Exclamation Point Yellow Triangle Icon} An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
    If I right-click on a text file... and select Covert to PDF,  it immediately pops open a PDF of the text file.  Same with any image file.
    This was all working perfectly up until out of nowhere it stopped working on January 26, 2015.  See my original posting here: Acrobat XI Pro Word 2013 add-in stopped working
    I can Print to PDF using the PDF Printer without any problems.
    Creating a PDF in Outlook, no problems...
    I'm hoping somebody can figure this one out... I'm completely stumped.... and I'm usually very good at troubleshooting stuff.

    Click to Run according to Microsoft: 
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427.aspx
    "Click-to-Run is a Microsoft streaming and virtualization technology that reduces the time that is required to install Office and helps you run multiple versions of Office on the same computer. The streaming technology enables you to download and begin to use an Office product before the whole product is installed on your computer. The virtualization technology provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. This isolated environment allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version of Office that is already installed on your computer."

  • Updated from Lotus Notes 7 to 8, PDFMaker is now gone, how do I get it back?

    My company moved from Lotusnotes 7 to Lotusnotes 8, when I upgraded to 8 the PDFMaker that allowed me to convert emails into PDF files was gone. I went to File, Preferences, Toolbar preferences, Toolbar and you can not make PDFMaker visable because it is not there. While reading the help in Acrobat it says that a toolbar is added to Lotusnotes when installed (which it did when I bought it while using Lotusnotes 7), but when I upgraded to Lotusnotes 8 it is gone. Adobe Acrobat can be opened and used, I just lost the ability to convert email in Lotusnotes to a pdf file. How do I get it back? Do I have to uninstall Acrobat and then reinstall it all over again or ??????????

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":

  • I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"

    I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"when I try to convert a file into a pdf.  I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but I continue to get the message.  I am able directly print file, but there are some errors in the pages, but some of them have font errors. Please advise.

    Hey Suzanne,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using and what kind of file are you trying to convert to PDF.
    If you are using an MS Office application, then PDF Maker has to be an active plug-in for the PDF conversion.
    Have you tried using Print to PDF option from the File menu for the same?
    Please check and then let me know.
    Regards,

  • Missing PDFMaker Files in Acrobat 9

    Hi everyone,
    I am helping someone with a problem who has received this message while he tries to create a PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9.
    He clicks on create pdf from file, selects the file, and then it begins to create.  But it then gives the error message "Missing PDFMaker files" and asks to run a repair.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.  I have even logged in under my own profile and can make the PDFs with no issue, the error does not come up for me.  I have also tried to run the repair it asks.
    Aside from re-creating his profile (last resort), what can I do to correct this?
    Thanks for your help!

    Dear Sabian:
    Answering both your emails. I have no problems making PDFs. Acrobat is fully operating. It is a problem that occurs only in some of the longer documents when the pages do not break the same as in the original WORD. Pages in the WORD document consistently end at 48 pi.
    I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I am using WORD in Office 10. I created the PDF by selecting it when right  clicking on the document icon. Previously I successfully changed the page trim size (originally it created the PDF in letter size – but I am using a custom 6 x 9 inch page.) 
    Thanks for your help.

  • Std 9.0 + Access 2007 + network connection, PDFMaker not working anymore

    Hello,
    when i try to create a PDF file from an Access report, it isn't working anymore when i have a network connection. It worked for months, but yesterday Access 2007 crashed and it asked to deactivate the COM Add-In from PDFMaker and my Co-Worker clicked on yes while i was absent. So even after reactivating the Add-In and reinstalling the whole Acrobat Standard, i can't create any PDFs anymore from Access 2007 while i have a active network connection. When i plug off my network cable, it's working, as soon as i plugin the network cable again, it's not working anymore. And it only happens in Access 2007, PDFMaker in Word, Excel etc is still working fine.
    Anyone got some ideas or solutions?
    Best regards
    Chris

    Can you create a PDF by printing to the printer? It sounds like you may simply need to do a repair to Acrobat.

  • Adobe pdfmaker 6.0 is missing in Outlook 2003

    Hi,
    I have users running XP Pro with Office Small Business 2003 with SBS 2003 server.  I have some users at this point that doesn't have pdfmaker toolbar in their Outlook 2003 but appear in Word 2003.  We have Adobe Standard 6.0.  As per the user, they had it but now the pdfmaker is missing from outlook 2003.  However in the mean time they can print to Adobe PDF from "File" menu on top left and select "Print" then selecting "Adobe PDF" to email file to
    pdf.  How can I enable or get the pdfmaker back on Outlook 2003.  Word and Excel have pdfmaker toolbar appear.
    I did the following steps:
    I checked the disabled item and nothing was listed.  then I checked in "Add-In Manager" and "COM Add-Ins" and didn't see pdfmaker or something like that.  I even tried to add "PDFMOultook.dll" in "COM Add-Ins" from Adobe folder and that didn't get added.  Then I removed "OutlVisible" key or changed the data value to 0 and rebooted the PC.  But that didn't do anything, so I restore the registry that I backed up.  I even reinstalled Adobe Standard 6 and the whole office in the beginning.  Hope someone has another solution for this.
    Thanks,
    Ankur

    There is a patch - but whether it will fix your particular problem, I don't know.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Missing PdfMaker files and won't pdf files

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 7.0 standard edition and I'm running it on Windows XP with MS Office 2003.
    The icons to automatically create PDF from MS Word does not appear and when I look for them on the toolbars menu they are not there.
    So I open Acrobat and click create pdf, but midway it tells me that it is missing some pdfmaker files and do I want to run it on repair mode.
    I click yes, but that does not solve the issue.
    I have tried uninstalling and removing the whole program and that did not help.
    I even removed all the activation information and reinstalled it and reactivated it and no luck.
    I have also downloaded the latest update from adobe and still no luck.
    Please help if you can

    I have had this problem with nearly every version of Adobe Acrobat up to and including 9.0
    Here are four things I do to resolve this issue in order of time/difficulty:
    First, I made sure that the Adobe Acrobat plug-in wasn't disabled.
    In any Microsoft Product such was Word, Excel, etc.  go to Help>About Microsoft (Word/project, etc) and then click on the 'disabled items' button.
    If the plug-in is disabled, select it and enable it again.
    Second,  I make sure the PDFMaker files are registered.
    I open a command prompt and navigate to the PDFMaker plug-in dll files in Adobe.
    In Adobe Acrobat 8.0  the file path is:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\PDFMaker\Office
    I then type in:
    regsvr32 PDFMOffceAddin.dll
    That should enable the Office PDFMaker plug-ins.
    Third, I make sure that the AcroDist.exe application path was configured properly in the registry.
    If it isn't, I just create it.
    Registry path:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
    Look for the entry "AcroDist.exe"
    If not there, create it - it is a 'Key". (right click on App Paths and choose New>Key)
    In the AcroDist.exe  key the (Default) value should be:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe  
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
    depending on which version of Adobe Acrobat you have.  Essentially you put the absolute path for the AcroDist.exe file in there.
    The only other entry in the AcroDist.exe key should be the String Value Path.  If it isn't there, create it  (right click and choose New>String Value)
    The name of the String Value should be Path and the value should be the path of the AcroDist executable.   e.g.:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\
    Close out the registry and try to use the PDFMaker again
    If that still doesn't work then I run a repair on Adobe.  If THAT doesn't work then I completely uninstall/reinstall.

  • Missing Printer Driver... Please Reinstall

    So I got this error the other day.. that the Acrobat printer driver was missing and that I shou
    ld re-install Acrobat Pro 9.  That was an adventure.  After several days of trying to reinstall just Acrobat from my CS4 installation files, I finally removed all of CS4 ran the Adobe cleanup scripts, etc.  Re-installed CS4, got my updates, etc... and I get the same message whenever I try to create a PDF: PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver.  Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 9.1
    Clues, hints, suggestions?
    TIA

    ORBMike, I was on phone support the other day for 3 hours to fix this problem. They do not know why this is occuring. They did get my software working but it is still not in perfect working order. They had me download acrobat X. With their help we copied the drivers from X to 9. It was somewhat technical so I suggest calling adobe phone support. They were Great!!

  • Acrobat PDFmaker 9 won't work with Office 2010

    Acrobat is Adobe's powerful and long-running pdf handler.  It's good software, but according to Adobe tech support in India, has known incompatibilities with Office 2010.  We can't create pdf files from any Office document or spreadsheet.  Adobe dropped the ball on this one, Office 2010 was out in beta for long enough for big developers like Adobe to get with the program.  Avoid Acrobat 9 until Adobe fixes it.

    I see a lot of people commenting that they had Adobe Acrobat 8.xx Pro and it worked fine with Microsoft Office 2010.
    That was not my experience.
    I downloaded MS Office 2010 and had the latest update of Adobe 8 Professional. (Don't know which release that was, but I keep my Adobe programs automatically updated.) As soon as I tried to use Adobe Acrobat to combine Excel files into a PDF, the PDFMaker functionality failed. This is why I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9, because my previous version did not work with MS Office 2010.
    It was incredibly infuriating to find out that upgrading did not resolve my problem, nor would going back to the previous install of Acrobat 8 Pro work for me. So, Adobe cheated me out of $160 for no reason, and after spending 6+ hours uninstalling, reinstalling and all kinds of other nonsense, I still can't use my PDFMaker plugin.
    The same thing happened with Adobe 8 and Microsoft Office 2007. The first version of Adobe 8 wasn't compatible, but then Adobe released a patch for Acrobat 8 that made it work with 2007. FOR FREE. I would say that we, the customers, have a reasonable expectation that the same should be done for Adobe 9, also at no extra charge.
    There is no way in hell that I'm buying Adobe Acrobat 10. Adobe has been incredibly dishonest about this problem and they're not getting one more red cent of my money. I'd rather scan my documents to PDF or use the Distiller.
    I'm quite sure I'm not alone in this sentiment, either.

  • Problem converting Publisher 2007 files with PDFMaker

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help me.
    I am a technician at a large company and we recently upgraded a users PC to Vista Business (32 bit) from XP Pro.
    Since this was done, the user has a problem with Publisher files on Office 2007.
    When trying to convert the files using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 with the PDFMaker plug-in on Publisher, it spools the file to the AdobePDF printer and the job then disappears from the printer but the converting bit just hangs at 60% and Publisher 2007 freezes up and Acrobat is not launched showing the converted publisher file.
    This is only happening when converting Publisher files. Word Excel etc are working fine.
    When logged in as administrator, it works perfectly. The converted publisher file spools to the AdobePDF printer, disappears from the queue and Acrobat Standard 9 is launched showing the publisher document as a PDF file. Giving the user administrator rights is not an option. This apparently worked perfectly for the user when his machine OS was XP Pro using Office 2007 and Acrobat Standard 9.
    I have tried a repair of Office, a repair and then a complete uninstall and reinstall of Abobe Standard 9. Also given the user full control of the Adobe folders but the same thing happens with the Publisher conversions.
    Any ideas?
    James

    Hi all
    This problem is now resolved. I got it to work but the frustrating thing was I dont know how I did it! Messed with some settings in Acrobat 9 and the AdobePDF printer and retried it and it worked
    Thanks anyway

  • PDFmaker add-in works in Word 2013, but not in PowerPoint 2013

    Windows 7 64-bit
    Office H&B 2013 fully updated
    Acrobat XI 11.0.07
    PDFmaker add-in used work perfectly in Word and PowerPoint, but lately it hangs on the "Publishing" step when used in PowerPoint.  I cannot pinpoint when the error started, but it's very annoying!
    Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    PDF Dude

    I am currently having the same issue - when I restart PowerPoint, I am informed that the add-in pdfmofficeaddin.dll has caused PowerPoint to crash and I should disable the add-in. I have tried removing that .dll file and reinstalling Acrobat, but that does not work.
    If you disable the add-in you can still save as a PDF via PowerPoint with the standard Save As route... but my issue is that I am trying to combine a Word and PowerPoint file into one PDF, and evidently I cannot do that without pdfmofficeaddin.dll enabled, and every time it is enabled, it crashes PowerPoint.
    Agreed - please help!
