Missing PDFMAKER Files Solved

Question

Hello,

Hello, I have Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional installed on my PC originally and I do not have an installation CD.
When I try to convert my Word file (version 2007) to PDF, it tells me "missing PDFMaker files, do you want to run the installer in repair mode?". If I answer "yes", it proceeds to configure Adobe Acrobat 8.0 and without any results.
Can you help me because I have absolutely no idea how to proceed. When I had Word 2003, I had no issues.

Thank you in advance
See you soon
Nath

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

Hi
I had the same problem, I searched and found the solution.
To start, open Word, go to the Office menu > Options, in the window that opens go to Add-ins, then at the bottom of the window under Manage click on Disabled Items in the dropdown list > then Go. In the window that opens, select the item from the list (like Acrobat something) > then Enable. Restart Excel and the ACROBAT menu appears like magic!! I hope this helps you.

Hi Nath,

I have the same problem with Acrobat 8 Pro and Word 2007, "missing PDF Maker files"... I haven't found anything about it and it's really annoying for converting my Word documents to PDF.
If you've found a solution, I’m interested!

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

I had the same problem, everything was enabled, the add-ons, etc.

And I even reinstalled my whole computer. Nothing worked.

But....

I let Adobe's automatic updates run, and then miraculously, the add-ons appeared and it worked wonderfully.

Long live positive updates!

Hello,

Here’s how to solve the problem with Office 2007 (for example, Word 2007) and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 on Windows Vista

Cause:

When Word crashes due to a third-party application, it disables its plugin.

Solution:

To enable the plugin. Here’s how to proceed:
1) Right-click on Winword.exe (C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12/Winword.exe) -> Run as administrator -> Continue
2) Office Button -> Word Options -> Add-ins -> Go... -> Check "Adobe PDFMaker Office COM Add-in (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 9.0/PDFMaker/Office/PDFMOfficeAddin.dll)

Restart Word normally and there you go, Cappuccino!

Just a quick note, if you still can't activate it after the operation mentioned above, delete it and reactivate it:
- Go to --> delete the pdfMaker --> add (search for the path: c:/programs/adobe/acrobat/pdfmaker/office/...) --> OK !.

That should do the trick!

Best regards

Hello,

I installed PDFmaker, PDF creator, and Ghostscript in order to convert my Word files with bookmarks into PDFs with bookmarks. The problem is that when I click the button to edit in PDF, actions are performed (and I can see in the virtual printer queue of PDF creator my document waiting for a while), but in the end when it finishes, I can't find my PDF anywhere. Does anyone have an idea where it might have been saved?
Thanks in advance.

First of all, you need to run Word as an administrator by right-clicking on C:/program files/microsoft office/office12/winword.exe. Go to Word options, then to add-ins, and reach COM add-ins. You will notice that pdfmaker is not loaded. Select it and remove it. Then, add it back by browsing to the address
C:/programfiles/adobe/acrobat/pdfmaker/office/pdfMofficeaddin.dll.
Select it and exit Word, then restart it normally. And there you go, it's done.
I hope this works for you,
Noldy.

Problem:
Under Office 2003 and Vista, when you right-click on a Microsoft Office file to convert it to Adobe PDF format, the application returns the message Missing PDFMaker files and does not create an Adobe PDF file.
Details:
This error may occur when you try to convert files from Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, Publisher).
Your system may have just run an automatic search for updates (for Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office, or Windows).

Solution:
Remove Adobe PDF from the list of Disabled Items in the Microsoft Office application.

Managing your list of Disabled Items in a Microsoft Office application:
1. Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
2. Select ? (Help) > About [application name].
3. Click on Disabled Items.
4. In the list, select Adobe PDF and click Enable.
5. Exit the Microsoft Office application, then restart it.

If the message continues to display once you have enabled Adobe PDF, check the macro security level in Word:
1. Select Tools > Macro > Security.
2. In the Security dialog box, click on the Security Level tab.
3. Select Medium security level or High security level.
4. Proceed in one of the following ways:
o If you selected Medium security level, click OK.
o If you selected High security level, continue to steps 5 to 7.
5. Click on the Trusted Publishers tab.
6. Check the box "Trust all installed templates and add-ins."
7. Click OK.
PDFMaker and the context menu accessible by right-clicking should function again.
Basic Information
Microsoft Office automatically disables applications that it considers to be the source of malfunctions. Adobe Acrobat and the Adobe PDF add-in do not cause malfunctions. However, Microsoft Office may mistakenly consider the operation of Acrobat or the PDF add-in as a problem during updates or when the Office program closes unexpectedly.

Hello,  We had the same issue on a user workstation in Office 2003. The user's profile was renamed and then a new profile was created. This resolved the issue.  Have a nice day  Aconsult
