Adobe Acrobat 6.0 - Attach as Adobe PDF Toolbar Display Problems in Word E-Mail Editor

[Marc Bressman]

Hi,

I currently am running Outlook 2003 with Word 2003 as my e-mail editor. I
previously had Office XP installed where I used Word 2002 as my email editor
for Outlook 2002. Before upgrading to Office 2003, I had installed Adobe
Acrobat 6.0 and had allowed it to integrate with Office (including a toolbar
that appears now in Word, etc. that allows for turning the current document
into an Adobe PDF). This is a useful feature, but unfortunately, there's a
slight annoyance with it when it comes to using Word 2003 as my email editor
for Outlook 2003. Initially, whenever I open a new email message, the
toolbar appears at the very top, above any other toolbars. No matter where
I move it to, it will always eventually revert back to its default position
(sometimes for a little while when I create new emails after moving it, it
appears to save its position to where I moved it, but eventually it will
revert back to its default location at the top). I've tried turning it off,
and again it might work for a little while, but will eventually revert to
its default of being visible. This also happened with the E-mail toolbar,
and I eventually just turned that one off in favor of the standard and
formatting toolbars. However, anyone have any idea how I can either keep
the Adobe Acrobat toolbar off for good (just when I'm using Word with
Outlook, not when I'm using Word regularly), or at least get it to save it's
position. Thanks in advance for your help!

Someone else may have found a solution by now, but as far as I know, this is
a known issue and a rather annoying one at that. Have you tried contacting
Adobe to see if they have a solution?

Obnoxious Adobe Add-ins

Hi,

I had the same problem. I think this agressive ADOBE policy is annoying.

Follow these steps to get rid of the unwanted ADOBE add-in:
1. Open a command box. (windows start - execute: cmd)
2. Go to c:\program files\adobe\adobe acrobat 6.0\pdfmaker\mail\oulook.

(If your Windows Version is German - like mine -, it's c:\programme\-----
​

3. type: "regsvr32 -u pdfmoutlook.dll"

This will unregister the DLL that is responsible for the add-in.
You can later always get it back by leaving out the -u option.
​

4. Restart Windows.
5. Voíla! I did not notice side effects.

I do not know if this works with Adobe 7.0. It sure does with 6.0!

Enjoy!
