PDFMaker disappeared

[Guest]

I use PDFMaker to make Word documents into PDFs. Our group uses this feature
a lot. It was working fine last week. Then one day I started PDF Maker
running, then realized I had forgotten to change something in my original
document. I clicked Cancel to stop PDF Maker, which worked, then got called
away to work on a couple of other things. When I went back to Word to
generate the PDF again, the PDF Maker toolbar and menu item were gone. When I
go to Tools/Template and Add ins, it tells me PDF Maker is loaded. I also see
that it is still there the OFFICE11\Startup folder. How do I get the toolbar
back so I can make a PDF? (The PDF Toolbar and Menu and there when I open
Excel and Powerpoint, but not Word.

Did you try Tools-->Customize, Toolbars tab and turn on viewing the toolbar?

I should have written that I tried this but it's not there to select.

Then my first step would be to reinstall Acrobat. Meanwhile, use
File-->Print and choose PDF Writer.

When you say the addin is loaded - is it also checked?
Checkout http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm to establish
that it is not locked by an orphan temporary file.
See if http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm offers any
insights into why it is not loading correctly.

It is checked. I deleted all the temp files suggested and I did get the
toolbar back.
Now I know what to do if it happens again.
Thanks for your help!

Did you try going to Tools, Security, and if you see pdfMaker or
Acrobat dimmed out, click the option to make if enabled.

I went to Security under Macros in Word Tools. I find only Adobe System
Incorporated as a Prior Trusted Source. There is nothing else as option
Or, am I looking under wrong Tools menu?
