Default Problem with 07 Office Pdf/Xps Add-in

Hello

Despite having installed the 2007 Office SaveAs Pdf/Xps add-in, I have seen
Mary Sauer's posting on this somewhere asking if it in the Add-in of the
Office programmes. I do not see it any of the programmes even though I have
reinstalled twice with genuine validation. Anything else I can do? Thks.

It's like a printer...you print to it.

======================================
It's not a program that you open and import files into...

In Publisher 2007...with your project open...have you
tried going to...

File / Publish as .pdf ...Or... File / Save As / .pdf

Hi John

Thanks for your response. Sorry I should have said that I've tried what
you've suggested and I got the prompt saying: Publisher cannot find the
file,
and I searched the net and came across Mary's posting.

I've tried printing with Word and Excel, as Rob suggested, but there is no
option to 'print or save' as pdf. The Print option shows only Print, Quick
Print and Print Review.

=================================
Apparently, the add-in has not been installed.
I'm guessing you are running the 2007 version
of Office?

Just as an experiment...try downloading the
file to your desktop and install from there.

2007 Microsoft Office Add-in:
Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS
http://tinyurl.com/v46jc
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Also...here's a free .pdf converter that may be
worth a try:

PrimoPDF

Default Problem with 07 Office Pdf/Xps Add-in

Hello John

Yes, I have the 2007 version and downloading to Desktop was what I did. I
have also tried PrimoPdf but the result was not satisfactory - incomplete
conversion i.e. 1 and a half page out of 8.

Anyway, I repeated downloading the Add-in and this time I could convert
Word, Excel and Powerpoint but not the Publisher (cannot save file), which
is my main concern.

I have also tried Pack and Go for commercial printing to create the pdf that
way but it could not complete the operation.

I looked in the Print Setup, the printer name dropdown shows my printer and
Microsoft XPS document writer only even though my download was for pdf and
xps.

Any other suggestion?

With the Office PDF add-on you have to "save as". It will not be in the printer
list.

Are you getting an error message?

In your Printer drop window...you should see
your default printer and PrimoPDF (if it is
installed) but the Office Plug-in will not be listed.

This is an unusual situation and I do not have
a solution. Maybe the following article would
offer some ideas:

(329820) How to use Office programs with
the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820

No guarantees that it will solve the issue but
I would suggest doing a little maintenance:

Empty your Temporary Internet Files Folder.

(260897) How to Delete the Contents of the
Temporary Internet Files Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260897

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(310312) Description of the Disk Cleanup
Tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310312

(315265) How to Perform Disk Error Checking
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315265
(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)

Good luck.
