I am running Microsoft Office 2007, Windows 7, and Acrobat 8 Professional.
When I right click on an Word or Excel file icon and select "Convert to Adobe PDF" it first begins the conversion process and then it stops and I receive an error message saying "Adobe Acrobat Elements has stopped working". Windows searches for a a solution but doesn't find anything and must close the program. The error only seems to occur when trying to convert Office files to PDF's using the right click method, as it works on other types of files. I used to be able to convert Office files this way until about a month ago.
I am able to convert the Office files to PDF files by opening the individual file and going to "Save As" and selecting "PDF" from the drop down list. I am also able to convert them by opening the files and going to "Print" and selecting "Adobe PDF" from the available printers. So I'm not completely locked out of creating PDF files from Office files but am curious as to what is causing the error when I try to convert them using the right click method. I was unable to find anything relevant through Internet searches or forums or anybody experiencing the same issue. Thank you for any help.
