I just thought I'd toss this question out there while everyone is thinking so hard about word processors...

I can't permanently remove the Adobe Acrobat PDFmaker toolbar in Microsoft Word.



Sure, I can uncheck the appropriate option in View>Toolbars



but the damn thing fucking returns after every restart of the application.



Does anyone know how to prevent this toolbar from showing up by default, short of un-installing Adobe Acrobat?

I haven't been able to figure it out either. It wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't 2 buttons that take up an entire row of space. Can't Adobe do ANYthing right???

from the dirty MacNN link above...

The Fix In the default Office v.X/2004 configuration, the PDF addins are stored in the HD:Applications:Microsoft Office <X or 2004>:Office:Startup:<application> folders. They will be named PDFMaker.dot (Word), PDFMaker.xla (Excel), and PDFMaker.ppa (Powerpoint). Delete these files. In their place, put empty folders in each of the Word, Excel and PowerPoint startup folders, and give them the same names. Your Startup folder will look like this: <yoink> When you next open Acrobat, you may be told there is a discrepancy, and be asked whether you want it repaired. Check the "Don't ask me again" checkbox, then click "No", and your problems with the PDF toolbars will be gone for good (or until you reinstall Office).

Worked a charm!
