PDFMaker Add-in Install problem in Access 2007
Some timeago, I downloaded and installed the PDFMaker Add-in for Office 2007. I have set up an Access application to be able to produce PDFs of reports. Now I am trying to coach users through installing it.
The go to the web site, download and install it. After installing it they can do a "Save As" from the Office Button.
But when they choose Access Options or Word options or Excel options, and then choose Add-ins, the PDFMaker does not show up in the list of Inactive Add-ins, and when they select COM Add-Ins and select go, the PDFMaker Add-in does not show up.
Obviously, I must have done something to get it to appear so that I could check it, but cannot remember what. What am I missing?
