I used Acrobat 5 instead of 6, but it installed an add-in in my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\XLSTART folder (for Excel) and in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\STARTUP (for Word). Both of these files needed to be removed to enjoy error-free use of Excel and Word.
To produce a .pdf file, my process was to do a "print to file" using a PostScript printer (such as the Apple LaserWriter, which I never owned but found that Windows would install the driver if asked nicely). I could then use Acrobat Distiller to convert that print file into a .pdf document.

If Access, hit {f11} to go to your Database Windows, then Tools menu: Options, View tab, check the Hidden Objects checkbox, and hit ok.

Open it in design view, and tell us what it says.
