"Doesn't work" could mean anything from "I expected it to do the dishes and it
won't" to "Nothing happens when I press the button" to "When I click it, the
computer shoots tongues of flame; so far it's roasted my dog, boiled my goldfish
and left me with no hair on the left side of my body."
More information to be more specific about the problem:
The specific issue with PDFMaker is that a partial toolbar shows in
PowerPoint, but it doesn't work. I'm using Acrobat 7.0 and the toolbar
worked fine until apparently I made seemingly unrelated changes in my system
(perhaps an automatic update from Microsoft), and still works in MS Word. I
can make a PDF from PowerPoint using a workaround (print to "Adobe PDF"
printer) but it is inconvenient to do it that way.
PowerPoint (in Help, About) shows "pdfmofficeaddin.dll" as disabled, and
when I reenable it, PowerPoint crashes.
I've removed and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat and run repair operations for MS
Office. Have not yet removed and reinstalled Office because of the havoc
this operation creates in Outlook.
So nothing happens when you click the button? You still haven't said.
But that sounds like what I'd expect if the DLL you mention below is disabled.
I don't use Acrobat 7 yet, so I'm not all that familiar with its tricks, but ISTR
reading that there's a Detect and Repair-like option in its Help menu. If so, try
that and also let it check for updates. Then try re-enabling the DLL in PPT.
