Office 2007 and Acrobat PA 10/20/2008 7:38:10 PM I have some carefully formatted Word documents, and need to convert them to PDF format, bringing along the features/data that Acrobat recognizes as dynamic TOC and Acrobat bookmarks, all of which are a function of the Heading styles. These features can not be created by printing to the Adobe PDF print driver. It always worked with Office 2002/2003 but is not performing with Office 2007. Getting an error message - PDF Maker files missing. I know this is not an Adobe forum but am sure many here convert to PDF Thanks for any insights. If we come up with any solutions I will post to help out, but we have been working on this for several days.

Re: Office 2007 and Acrobat "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 10/20/2008 8:11:11 PM What version of Acrobat do you have? I believe Word 2007 requires at least v. 8. If you have 8 or 9, it may be that reinstalling or repair (of Acrobat) will be required. -- Suzanne S.

Re: Office 2007 and Acrobat "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 10/21/2008 5:11:21 AM As Suzanne has suggested you need Acrobat version 8 or later to work with Word 2007. You could try the PDF add-in from Microsoft for Office 2007. It does not have the full range of attributes as Acrobat, but it should achieve what you require - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> PA wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have some carefully formatted Word documents, and need to convert > them to PDF format, bringing along the features/data that Acrobat > recognizes as dynamic TOC and Acrobat bookmarks, all of which are a > function of the Heading styles.

Re: Office 2007 and Acrobat "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 10/21/2008 1:33:52 PM In that case repair the Acrobat installation and ensure it is updated with all the available updates.

Re: Office 2007 and Acrobat PA 10/21/2008 4:43:02 PM Thank you for the idea, but reinstallations, repairs, and every update we could find has been loaded. Any other ideas would be warmly received.

Re: Office 2007 and Acrobat "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 10/22/2008 5:37:52 AM Regretfully I must therefore refer you to the Adobe forum. Acrobat's relationship with Word has always been somewhat tenuous and I don't know why you should be having the problem. An updated version of Acrobat 8 should work with Word 2007. In the meantime have you tried Microsoft's PDF add-in? -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> PA wrote: [Quoted Text] > Thank you for the idea, but reinstallations, repairs, and every > update we could find has been loaded. > Any other ideas would be warmly received. > > Paul > > "Graham Mayor" wrote: > >> In that case repair the Acrobat installation and ensure it is >> updated with all the available updates.
