How to stop Create Adobe PDF message when starting Word?

[Guest]

I upgraded from Office 97 to Office 2003 and at the same time I upgraded
Adobe Acrobat 5 to Acrobat 6. Now when I start Word this message displays:
"Create Adobe PDF: The Create Adobe PDF monitor cannot be found. Please
reinstall Create Adobe PDF". I cannot find any reference to a Create ADobe
PDF monitor in Acrobat 6.

Is this the full Acrobat 6 or just the reader? Acrobat 6 reader does not
include a write function (though I believe some earlier versions may have
done).
It sounds like you still have an old Acrobat 5 add-in present
See what add-ins you have installed.
With the full version of Acrobat 6, you should have PDFMaker.dot in the
Office Startup folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP

I couldn't identify any Acrobat 5 add-ins, but when I looked at c:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP I found a file named PDFWriter97, a
Microsoft Word Template. It looked suspicious so I deleted it, and that has
done the trick. The irritating message has gone from my Word statrups.

Very many thanks.

Jeffdee.

This was an old Adobe add-in and as you have gathered is incompatible with
current versions.
