Default Office Word 2007 instabilities w/Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker

Now I am totally bemused. The Home and Student issue of Office 2007 I can
understand, but Acrobat Reader does not have any ability to create PDF
files. I have no idea what Acrobat.com is, but I cannot imagine a PC coming
equipped with the full (expensive) version of Acrobat unless you paid extra
to have that, in which case you need to contact Dell support. My feeling is
that you have installed an old version of Acrobat in addition to Reader and
that has added a template add-in to the Word startup folder and it is this
that Word is complaining about.

I have Office 2007 for Home & Student which came preinstalled by Dell
4/17, so as far as I know, it's not a pre-release version. No, this
is a brand new computer which came with Adobe Reader 9 and
Acrobat.com. Yes, I did update Acrobat 9 to the latest version
9.1.0. There's also something called "Air" listed under the Adobe
files (Program Files x86). This problem is only in Word as far as I
know. The error messages appear, I type continue anyway, and it goes
to the program, so it's working. I just want to get rid of the
errors and ensure I don't have something in my system which I
shouldn't. I really appreciate your help of any kind!

Are you running a pre-release version of Office 2007?
Did you have an old version of Acrobat that left a PDFMAKER.DOT
template lying around?
Have you updated Acrobat 9 to current spec?

When opening Office Word 2007 I get an error message "...detected
that your computer has a version of Adobe Acrobat PDF maker that is
known to cause instabilities in Word 2007 (pre-release). To resolve
this issue, download an update from Adobe System's Web site."

I have Adobe Reader 9.1.0, but not sure what Acrobat is being talked
about?!? I have Windows Vista 64-bit; Acrobat.com is noted under
Program Files (X86), but when I click on that icon, I'm taken to a
beta version for Acrobat connect.

Can anyone help? I found something about Adobe PDF Maker Error
Message relative to Office 2003 and Adob Acrobat 5.05, but not what
I have.
