I think there was a very early version of Acrobat Reader that did install
some sort of Create Adobe PDF add-in in some version of Word. But it doesn't
work in later versions of Word. This add-in will need to be found and
removed.

There are usually three reasons for this error message:
1. Acrobat (not just the Reader) was installed before Word, or
2. Acrobat (not just the Reader) was not completely uninstalled, or
3. Acrobat (not just the Reader) was not completely installed.
Can you provide details about when this error message began to appear
and what else may have changed on your computer at the time this error
message began to appear?

Reader does not have PDFMaker. Search for the PDFMaker.dot file on your
hard drive, including hidden and system files and folders, and delete
any that you find.

I have Adobe Reader 7.0 only. I do not have the software that allows
me to
create Adobe files which is what I understand Adobe Standard and
Professional
to be. The article addresses PDFMaker being unavailable. I do not
understand that Adobe Reader 7.0 has PDFMaker.

Well, you didn't say in your original post what version of Acrobat you
have, and you still don't say what version of Acrobat you have. As
the
title of the article suggests, the article applies to Acrobat versions
6.x and 7. Older versions of Acrobat don't work with Word 2003.

But I do not have more than Adobe Reader 7 installed. Your reference
is as
if I had Standard or Professional 7.0 installed.

Whenever I open Word 2003, I get "The Creat Adobe PDF monitor

When I
close the message, I get a "Run time error 53" message. I have
searched
previous comments about this problem but none solves my problem or
they do
not give me enough information to correct the problem. Ideas?
