Tip
One: Kill
the PDFMaker Palette in Microsoft Office.
 First
a disclaimer: This is a major pet peeve of mine. I hate the little
PDFMaker palette that Adobe Acrobat adds to all the Microsoft Office
applications. If you love this space-wasting feature, ignore this
tip. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just move on.)
However,
if you are like me, you'll want to kill this feature dead. Happily
this is easy to arrange:
Step
1: Find Microsoft Office's startup folder. Look
inside Applications > Microsoft Office 2004 > Office >
Startup. (Also found inside the Microsoft Office X > Startup
folder.)
Step
2: Inside the Startup folder are folders for Excel,
Word, and Powerpoint. Remove any PDFMaker files from these folders.
This should kill the palette for future use.
Open
Word or Excel and rejoice in the death of an annoyingly persistent
icon.
Note:
When you open Adobe Acrobat again, it may ask you if it is okay
to reinstall the PDFMaker. Just say no.
