If this is a free PDF creator that came with an early version of Acrobat
Reader, then it may not work with Word 2003. If you have a full version of
Adobe Acrobat (the current version is 7.0, so 4.0 would be fairly old), it
may be necessary to reinstall it in order to ensure that the Word add-in is
installed correctly. In general, though, versions of Acrobat before the
current one put a PDFMaker.dot template in Word's Startup folder that
provides the functions behind the buttons you have.
