Cannot enable a COM add-in

[Launcher1]

'In Word 7 I have 'Acrobat' as an option in the toolbar. But it has suddenly
disappeared. And although I have the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll in the correct
directory, I am unable to enable it again from word Options>Addins, where it
is listed as a disabled add-in.

The online help is not helping.

I'm assuming you're referring to Word 2007 (v12) rather than Word 95 (v7) <g>.

What version of Adobe Acrobat are you using? Version 8.1a with Office 2007 is okay, older versions may not be.

I'm am also having problems with this. I'm running Word 2007 and Adobe
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2. It was working fine untill I had word open several times
and tried converting one of the documents. I got kicked out of Word and when
I went back into Word the Adobe Com add-in was disabled. When your click on
it in the add-in availiable dialog I get "The connected state of Office
Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed. I've un-installed
and reinstalled both Adobe and Office. Adobe say its a Microsoft problem that
Word/Vista thought they were under attack and locked up the registry key.
Un-installing and reinstalling Office was supposed to fix this, it didn't.
Adobe says its Microsoft's problem and have exhausted what they can do for
me. Any thoughts?
