I'm in the middle of deploying Adobe Element to all my users (1000+) and
have found out there is a problem with the combination Word / Outlook /
PDFMaker.dot / Word as email-editor.

I have put the PDFMaker.dot in Word Startup folder, but when Outlook start
first the toolbar and icon isn't available in Word.
When I start Word first and then Outlook the toolbar and icon is OK.

I can't turn Word as email-editor off, due to a policy-setting, so is there
anyone who could help?

Regards,
Jorgen
 
instead of putting pdfmaker.dat in word startup folder put
tick in pdfmaker.dat in the following location

open new word document then go to tools|templates and add-
Ins
 
If you are sure you have the correct version of the add-in for your Word
version (check with Adobe) then note that it is normally located not in the
Word startup folder but in the *office* startup folder:
:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup (Word 2002)
or
:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup (Word 2000)

If I use this, I have to copy a new normal.dot to all my users, and many of
them have their own autotext etc., so this isn't possible.

Any other suggestions?

I have the latest version of Adobe Elements (Ver. 1.0) and ít doesn't matter
if I put in the Word startup folder or Office startup folder.

My point was that there are different versions of the add-in - however this
is not the problem.

I don't use Word as the Outlook editor myself, so had missed this issue -
and you are correct the toolbar is missing, but the add-in is reported as
loaded. Worse still, while Outlook remains open, starting Word from its own
shortcut doesn't restore the toolbar.

The Adobe add-in has been a naff piece of programming and I would point the
finger directly at it as the cause of the problem. Unfortunately Adobe does
not provide access to its code, so a cure will have to be down to them.

Other, better behaved, add-ins work fine and their toolbars display either
way.
