I have Microsoft Office as well as Adobe Acrobat Professional on my PowerBook. In /Applications/Microsoft Office/Office/Startup, I have three directories: Excel, Word, PowerPoint. In each of these directories I have a PDFMaker files that corresponds with a template for each program. I have delete these files, but they're coming back. When the files are deleted, the toolbar doesn't pop up, but the files come back and so does the toolbar.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this toolbar permanently? It's driving me nuts.

Have you deleted the following as well?

Macintosh HD/Applications/Microsoft Office/PDFMakerLib

Done and done. Hopefully this works. Thanks.

Cool, I'm not entirely sure if that will do the trick or not. Keep us posted.

That seems to do the trick. Thanks. When you reopen Adobe Acrobat Pro, it tells you if you'd like to put those missing components back along with the other components it installs. I said no to the Office one button PDF making, but I left the ability to print to PDF and open PDFs in Safari.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about that part...good job! It should be gone for good now.

I think another way to get rid of them is by simply deleting those Office "Startup" directories, as they really are not needed (unless you use them of course).
