It worked here too - provided you have the most recent update to the add-in.

Actually I was using Acrobat 5.x with Office 2003 until recently.
Worked fine for me.

As I recall, Adobe Acrobat 5.x isn't compatible with Office 2003 (or
with Word & Excel 2003 at least) and you ordinarily get a message
announcing this when opening the Office program, if Acrobat 5.x is
installed. (Hmm, or maybe not if macro security is set to Very
High.) I doubt Office has "removed" Acrobat, but it sure can send a
spike through its leg. I've seen Convert-to-PDF continue to work (the
message gives you the
option to "Continue Anyway" or disable the Adobe add-in), and I've
seen PDF requests get totally ignored. Printing directly to the 5.x
Distiller is equally weird in Office 2003, and of course, also omits
some features you get from converting directly via PDFMaker. (In
case you're new to that, be aware that printing to the Distiller and
using the Acrobat toolbar buttons isn't the same thing.) The usual
advice heard is: upgrade Acrobat.

Which isn't as simple as it sounds. I've had major problems PDFing
from Acrobat 6 (loss of tracked changes, no Acrobat bookmarks
vanishing, etc.). These seem resolved with Acrobat 7, but 7 has its
own fresh quirks. Adobe seems determined to bring us all to our
knees.... -----------------------

A few things to check:
1. In Word, click on Tools | Options | File Locations, to see
where your Word startup folder is. Make sure the PDFMAKER.DOT and
PDFMAKERA.DOT files are in your Word startup folder.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Macro | Security | Security Level. If
your macro security level is set to High, then either change the
security level to Medium, or add Adobe to the list of trusted
sources. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...356731033.aspx
"Modify the list of trusted publishers for macros" for more
information on how to do the latter. 3. In Word, click on Tools |
Templates and Add-ins. Under
"Global templates and add-ins", is PDFMaker.dot listed as a choice,
and is it checked?
4. In Word, click on View | Toolbars. Is PDFMaker listed as a
choice, and is it checked?

I used to have Adobe Acrobat PDF icon on my toolbar in Word 2002. I
recently installed Office 2003, and the icon is no longer there,
and I can't figure out how to save a Word document as a PDF file -
there is nothing on the menu bars that will allow me to do that,
and PDF is not listed as Files of Type in the Save As dialog box. I
reloaded Adobe Acrobat 5.05, but that didn't do the trick. Any
suggestions?
