The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Word 2003
  • Microsoft Word 2002

This article was previously published under Q276001

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade to Microsoft Word 2002 or Microsoft Office Word 2003, and you have Adobe Acrobat installed, you may experience either of the following symptoms:
  • The Create a PDF File and Configure PDF Options buttons may be missing from the toolbar.
  • If the Create a PDF File and Configure PDF Options buttons appear on the toolbar, you either receive no response when you click them, or you receive the following error message:
    The macro cannot be found, or the macro has been disabled because of your Macro security settings.
Note This problem can occur with the PDF Maker add-in and Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer (version 3.x), which may have been installed with Adobe PageMaker 6.5.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, reinstall the add-in. When you reinstall the add-in after your version of Word has been installed, the issue may be resolved.

If the issue still occurs, then upgrade your version of Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker add-in and Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer. For more information, please contact Adobe Systems, Inc.
