Hi Maria,

I'm assuming you're using Word 2007? The current download is likely the one for the Office 2007 Gold (RTM) product release and is
incompatible if you're using Office 2007 Beta2 or Beta2 with Technical Refresh (B2TR).

Trial versions of Office 2007 Gold should be available on the MS website at the start of next month, right after the 'official'
launch event by Microsoft.

Hi Bob,
I guess that by now your answer would be different, but strangely enough i
have EXACT teh same problem. in my case it is after upgrading an MS Office
2003 Pro to MS Office 2007. With the 2003 version I have a component (maybe
by adobe) that allowed a print to adobe PDF format; which is no longer
working now NOR the new downloded plug-in, save as PDF/XPS. this returns an
Microsoft error "the export failed due to an unexpected error". any ideas?

thanks,

Only the latest (version 8.1.2) of Acrobat will work properly with Word 2007
(though you can print to the drivers of the earlier versions).

The PDF plug-in is independent from and not reliant on Adobe's product. If
you save as PDF and still get the error, try repairing Office. See also

Thanks Graham,
I am using Acrobat reader 8.1.2 with its add-ons 9.0.124.
I can't print using the acrobat drivers, as I think I have un-install my
older version of the PDFmaker - HOWEVER, I won't need it if the office save
to PDF will work.
I have cleaned all temp directories, repaired the office 2007, tried it also
in safe mode (run: winword /safe) but all with no success. Please note that
it is ALL the office applications that would fail (Excel/PPT email etc) - but
at the same time Office DOES NOT seem to be unstable or crash as in the other
cases you've refered me to. Office is stable but this feature is NOT
working...

your advise will be much appreciated.
Elon

Hi Elon,

You've posted separately in at least three different discussion groups on this. Please see the replies in the Word Application
Errors discussion group
