Error when attempting to save Word doc as pdf.

[DesertFriar]

I have MS Word 2007 with SP1 and SP2. Before I updated to SP2, I downloaded
the pdf converter but it would not work. When I attempted to publish a doc in
pdf, I recevied the error message "This file could not be found". After I
updated with SP2 I thought this problem would resolve, but it has not. Since
I don't want to buy another help session with MS, can anyone suggest what
might be wrong and how to fix it?

My understanding is that MS and Adobe have made friends and that this
conversion ability is now supposed to be built into Word and does not depend
on any Adobe products being present.

What exactly do you mean by "publish a doc in pdf"? What steps did you take?

Thanks for your response.

With a document open (and already saved in .docx, I select "Save As" and
then the option to save in "PDF or XPS" format. I then select the pdf format
and select "publish". An error window pops up reporting "This file could not
be found". I have tried saving in the XPS format and it works.

The PDF addin works in both Word 2007 generations.

Does the error message report which 'file cannot be found'. What is the
exact wording?

No, it simply says "This file could not be found". It is a small pop-up and
the title bar says "Microsoft Office Word" There is no other information.
