Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0

The PDF maker Toolbar in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0, does not show up in the New Microsoft Office 2007 applications, like Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007. If you upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0, everything works fine, and the PDF maker Toolbar shows up properly.
So how do you create a PDF document, in say Word 2007 if you have Adobe Acrobat Professinal 7.0 ? What you have to do is open the Word document in Word 2007, then click on the Office Button, Click on Print, and when the list of Printers show up in the Print dialog box, select the one that says Print to "Adobe PDF". Make sure you note the location you are saving your file, and you should be able to convert the document to PDF.
What about your computer at home, if you do not have Adobe Acrobat Professional, on your home computer? Microsoft has a Save as PDF and XPS Addin Site from which you can download and install the add in.
