Glad to hear it's now working. :-)
The Adobe application itself will still work fine. If you never used the
Adobe add-in from Word then there won't be an issue. If you did you can
still use the Print dialog box and use the Acrobat PDF printer. Note that
Office 2007 now has PDF capabilities as well so you may not need it for
converting documents to PDF anyway.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
