On my macbook pro I have installed MS Office 2004 and Adobe Acrobat 8. The laptop is running OS 10.4.8. My problem is that the plug in that Adobe put into Word to distill documents into PDFs with the click of a button isnt working. When I click on it, nothing happens. I uninstalled Acrobat (but didnt erase the .plist in the library) and reinstalled it in the hopes of the plug-in working, unfortunately it does not. This is a plug in I use many times daily and would like it to work. Can these toolbars be turned on and off in MS Word? Any suggestions?

Try selecting Detect and Repair (or whatever it's called in Acrobat 8) from the Help menu.
I do not like those green links and spam.

Make sure you're selecting a printer other than Acrobat. You printer settings are probably configured so that the last used printer is the default (in this case, Acrobat).You can change that if you wish.
