I have a two year old Windows 7 system with Acrobat XI and Office 2013 (Word/Excel/Powerpoint).

I installed Publisher 2010 but the Acrobat tab does not appear on the ribbon.

I tried to add a COM Add-in with Options > Add-Ins, but even when I select

   c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll

and click on OK, it does not add it in.  I get no error...

Any idea why I can't get the Acrobat Add-in to take?

Hi,

Please run Publisher as administrator to check if the permission is the problem here.

If the problem persists, you may need to manually register the COM add-in file, and even some repair steps are possibly needed.

For more details about the steps, you can refer to this link below:

PDFMaker unavailable | Office 2007, 2010, 2013 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI, Acrobat DC

Thanks for the suggestions, but still no luck.  I tried

• Run as Administrator
• Running regsvr32
• Repair Acrobat

The only thing I haven't tried is reinstall Acrobat from scratch, but that's more difficult because I have to download from Dell's screwy methodology for installation.

Any other thoughts?

Hi,

If the problem only occurs to this add-ins, I actually suggest you reinstall the program to have a test, since if other add-ins are not affected, probably it's related to the program installation.
