Adobe Acrobat 8 does not integrate with MS Office Enterprise 2007 programs such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc, in a PC that uses Windows XP Professional operating system. Something is preventing the integration from happening. Previous action was uninstalling MS Office 2003 and what i recall was either Adobe Acrobat 6 or 7.
The MS Office 2007 programs now run but without Acrobat. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2007. Those did not solve the non-integration problem.
Then do a search for 'all files and folders' - search for both Acrobat 6.0 and then Acrobat 7.0, with the options "Search system folders", "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders" checked. Delete all of those related files found.
You should do this search and delete whenever you uninstall any programs. It will remove lots and lots of leftover junk files and corrupted files taking up room on your hard drive. It will also give you a "clean install" when you reinstall or install an updated program. (Do this ESPECIALLY when updating to a NEW anti-virus programs and “Internet Security Suite” programs such as McAfee or Norton etc.)
Download and install "Registry Mechanic" then do the updates prior to running it and removing anything for the first time. This will get rid of all your current Registry errors, prior to installing or reinstalling.

Kawika-56, i did not have to download and install Registry Mechanic. I think what also helped was fully updating Acrobat 8 and MS Office 2007. In my browsing, i learned that Microsoft tends to promote its own PDF maker/converter. To the credit of Microsoft, though, they have left the door open to 3rd party PDF service suppliers.
Thanks for the detailed help! Merry Christmas!
