Hello Graham
Actually, the funny thing is that the Save as dialog does have an 'Open file
after publishing' checkbox but it is disabled in all Office applications.
Unfortunately, I can't recall if it is greyed out by default or if during
the process of installing, uninstalling and reinstalling different versions
of Adobe Reader it has 'broken'.
I did post the question on the Adobe Forum and got very little help, just
saying it was a Microsoft problem, Anyway, I will attempt your suggestion,
with fingers crossed.
Kind regards
Sean

Assuming you have checked the box in the save as PDF dialog, then the
opening of the PDF depends on the file association in the registry, and it
was this that repairing/re-installing of Adobe Reader should address ... but
it may not. You may have to manually fix the association. The procedure is
essentially that shown at http://www.gmayor.com/Document_Not_Found.htm,
albeit that concerns the Word application and not Adobe. There should be
enough information there to enable you to make the changes for PDF file
types.

Sorry Suzanne
I got a bit finger happy and pressed POST before signing off.
Anyway, what I maybe should have also said is that the PDF will not
automatically open when I use the Save as PDF or XPS command in any
Office application, Word2007, Powerpoint, Excel, and etc.
I guess that it makes no difference really but just thought it may be
something you have seen before.
Kind regards

Hello Suzanne
Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I do understand what you mean.
What I should have said is that I have already REinstalled Adobe
Reader 9.2. It appears as a shortcut on my desktop, and in the
Control Panel.
I could uninstall it again and then REINSTALL it again just as a
sanity check, but it does exist in my program files.

But since you installed it, you did whatever it was that caused the
problem, right? I am suggesting that you REinstall it.

Could be right. Can you reinstall Adobe Reader 9.2?

Hello Suzanne
In Word2007 when you select Save as, a number of options appear
in an expanded menu. This offers PDF or XPS.
When I select Save as PDF or XPS a dialog appears including a
greyed out
'Open file after publishing'.
I have a suspicion that when I installed the Adobe Reader
version 5 it broke
the automatic links to the Adobe Reader version 9.2, but this is
only my
opinion.
Does this makes sense ?

Does Word 2007 offer any kind of PDF-creation settings? I know
that Acrobat
has a radio button ("View Adobe PDF result") to choose whether
a newly created PDF is automatically opened in Acrobat for
viewing.

Can anybody help with this little problemette !
I originally had Adobe Reader 9.2 that would open
automatically when I
created a PDF from Word2007 using the Save as command.
But now it won't open automatically.
I (maybe stupidly) installed Adobe Reader 5 to try to open an
old PDF
that
I
was sent, but unistalled it when I discovered that the file was
corrupt.
Now when I try to create a PDF using Word2007 running on Window
Vista,
Adobe
Reader 9.2 will not launch automatically.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers
Sean
