Make sure the PDFMaker Add-in is installed in Word. Click the Office button (the big circle with the Office logo in the upper left corner of your Word window). Open Word Options at the bottom of the window, then click Add-Ins from the menu.
If all were well, you would see Acrobat PDFMaker Office Add-In in the alphabetical list of Active Application Add-Ins. Since you don't, find the Manage COM Add-Ins drop-down menu at the bottom of this window. Click Go, and another window appears.
With some good fortune, Acrobat PDFMaker Office Add-In is listed, but not checked. Checking the box should make your familiar PDFMaker menu appear in its own Acrobat tab.
I have Acrobat 9 installed here, so it's conceivable this process is different with v8. I hope that's the only problem.

Subject: Need to create PDF bookmarks
I can't believe that I am having trouble with this but I recently switched to Word 2007 (horrible) and Adobe Acrobat Standard 8. My OS is Windows 7.
I used to create bookmarks for the pdf file by selecting Word styles at Change Conversion Settings. After selecting the styles, the bookmarks generated automatically when I created the PDF. I cannot see how to do this either through Word 2007 or via Adobe Acrobat.
I used to have Adobe menu options in Word to generate the pdf or change conversion settings. If needed, I would run a Word Macro to get these menu options. That has not worked in 2007.
