Hi to all,
This has probably been already discussed in past topics and I am really sorry if I'm bringing this issue on the table again. So I had the very bad idea to try the professional version of Adobe Acrobat as I needed it for a job I had to do. What I did not know then is that downloading the professional version brings two new menus in Word just after the "?" about PDF conversions and comments. When I tried to generate the Trados toolbar (I have 2006 version and I'm trying to ... See more Hi to all,
This has probably been already discussed in past topics and I am really sorry if I'm bringing this issue on the table again. So I had the very bad idea to try the professional version of Adobe Acrobat as I needed it for a job I had to do. What I did not know then is that downloading the professional version brings two new menus in Word just after the "?" about PDF conversions and comments. When I tried to generate the Trados toolbar (I have 2006 version and I'm trying to install the 2007 one), Word crashes, especially when I close it. I remembered I was told once the Adobe menus and Trados toolbar were not compatible. I'm wondering how I can erase those menus or, if it is impossible, how I can make them disappear (I know it's possible by turning off some macros, but I don't know where it is...). I now deleted the professional version of Adobe, but thos two menus just won't go away... I'd be grateful if you guys could help me out with that! Thank you very much in advance!

| Do this via Software | Aug 27, 2007 |
Go to Control Panel, chose Software, select Adobe Acrobat and click on Modify.
When you get there, you'll find an item called "PDF Maker" (or quite similar) - then deselect it from Office. This will deinstall your PDF tool bar from Word.
I'm afraid this quite complicated procedure is the only one available.
And indeed, the PDF toolbar used to interfere with Trados.

Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup and delete the template PDFMaker.dot. That's all.

| PDFMaker.dot only in earlier versions of Acrobat | Aug 28, 2007 |
In Acrobat 7 Pro (the version I have here) there was no PDFMaker anymore... But I'm using Office 2003 - so this may also have an influence.

TOPIC STARTER | All fixed now! | Aug 28, 2007 |
Thank you for your replies, guys. My roommate finally helped me getting rid of those menus, it was much harder than I previously thought. Everything works now and I was even able to install SDL Trados 2007. Thank you!

| I tried everything | May 7, 2009 |
I found here and in other ProZ threads and nothing works! I don't use Adobe Acrobat that much, so I went as far deleting it, but even though, the conflicting Adobe toolbar is still there in Word and hides the Trados dropdown menu.
I can still see the Flagman and Trados toolbar.
I use Word 2003 and Trados 7.5.
Can anybody help please?
Thank you ever so much in advance!

| It didn't work | May 7, 2009 |
Hello Gareth,
Thank you for your support. I did this, but it didn't work. I still see "Adobe PDF" and "Acrobat Comments" instead of my usual "Trados" dropdown menu. I am really at a loss now!
Something strange: I have had Acrobat for quite some time and everything was OK. The problem appeared this morning only.
Of course I know I can work in TagEditor, but I strongly prefer working in Word. Would you have another idea?

First, thanks to Gareth who followed this up directly with me.
And in case it might help others, in the end and after much aggro, I solved the problem by desinstalling/reinstalling Word, which appeared to have gone corrupt somehow.
