How do I PERMANENTLY hide the PDF Maker toolbar in word

The PDF Maker toolbar loads every time I start Word, even after I turn it
off. How do I stop it from loading permanently?
 
I can't seem to open the link that you have given. Is there a newer link or
another place I can find the information?

Thanks
 
Try the link a bit later - the site appears to be down, beyond my control,
at the moment and I am currently away from my home country so cannot readily
check with the web host at present. I will in the meantime e-mail them to
complain :(

Glad you got through eventually. I can't even get into the site myself this
morning. 1 and 1 will get a thrashing when I get home :(

Sometimes you can get around this by using Google to search. If Google has
cached the page (which it almost always will have), then you can get to it
by choosing the link to the cached page instead.

Good thinking, but this is the second time in the last couple of months that
1 & 1 has managed to lose my web site. Again it happened at weekend when it
means hanging on to a support line for ages. They respond to e-mail but that
can take 48 hours, so not much is going to happen until Monday. I certainly
don't fancy listening to a recorded message for upwards of an hour at
international telephone call rates :(

I'll be back in the UK by Monday so if they haven't got their fingers out by
then ...........

Remove the PDFMaker.dot add-in from the Word and/or Office Startup folder.

RE: Plan C, moving the the add-in out of the startup folder: "A completely
different approach can be used by moving the add-in out of the Office
start-up folder completely and introduce it when required."

My startup folder is empty! I can't see any PDFMaker add-in to move it! Huh?

I tried Plan B, creating a macro in normal.dot, and it seemed the PDFMaker
toolbar went away for a short while, but it came back. I'm also not sure that
I did it right, because I'm not into programming and need step-by-step
instructions on how to record a macro in Word. (I used to know how to do it
in earlier versions.) I think I cut and pasted the code into the macro dialog
box all right, but I'm not sure I did it in the right order or clicked the
right buttons at the right time.

Can anyone help? I have Office 2003 on Windows 2000 ver. 5.0 (SP-4) on a
government-owned computer at work.

Thanks. ~~Diane
 
Which version of Acrobat? The methods shown on my web page cover versions
5&6 with a separate section at the end for version 7.

Are you sure you are looking in the correct folder for PDFMaker.DOT (if
used) i.e. is it listed in tools > templates & add-ins? You can drag that
dialog box wider to view the full path.

For macros - http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm - this is linked
from the Acrobat page!

My Acrobat is version 7. I'll have to check with the DHS Help Desk to see if
they can upgrade it to 7.0.5. I don't think I can do it myself on my
workstation. PDFMaker.dot is not in any of my subfolders! The MS Office
Startup folder on my hard drive is empty! I did a search on the whole C:
drive and it's not anywhere! Yet that damn tool bar keeps showing up!
Actually, the toolbar now does not show up when I first open Word, but it
manages to sneak its way back in later. I think just puting the macro in the
startup folder worked.

I'd also like delete it from my Outlook email, but I can't if I can't find
the file to move from the Outlook directory. Can I put the same macro
somewhere else so it won't show up in Outlook when I'm using Word as my email
editor?

That dialog box is blank.

If the DHS (Government Department?) won't upgrade then that is very short
sighted - but hey ;) The page gives workarounds for this eventuality.
I don't use Acrobat 7 so cannot say how it is implemented for Outlook. In
Acrobat 6 a separate DLL was used to provide Acrobat implementation in
Outlook. Try searching your hard drive for that dll - PDFMOutlook.dll and if
found unregister it by running the following command line from Windows >
Start > Run

regsvr32 /u "c:\<path to the file>\PDFMOutlook.dll"

Restart Windows.

If not you'll have to consult Adobe or ask in an Outlook group.
