Additional Information
Acrobat 8.1 installs a COM add-in file to the Acrobat 8.0/PDFMaker/Office folder. This file provides PDFMaker icons and menu commands for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher and Project. The COM add-in file must be checked into the Windows registry before it appears in applications. PDFMaker icons don't appear in the toolbar if an Office application crashes and disables the COM add-in file. Other COM add-in files and macros may conflict with the COM add-in file for PDFMaker and may prevent the Convert To PDF icons from appearing in the toolbar. 329044: Message "Missing PDFMaker files" when you right-click a file to convert to PDF 333235: PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office application with Acrobat (7, 8, 3D, and 3D 8 on Windows) |
