Removing annoying Adobe PDF Toolbar

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Help!!! How do you remove the annoying Adob PDF maker toolbar from Microsoft Office applications on a Mac (I have OS 9.2 and Adobe 5.0)?

I have tried removing it from the "View...Toolbars" menu. I have deleted it from that menu. I have tried removing it from the "Tools...Customize" menu, and tried deleting it from this menu.

It always comes back as soon as I close and re-open any Microsoft office application (like Word or Excel.)

Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac?

Just delete the following files:

/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Excel/PDFMaker.xla
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/PowerPoint/PDFMaker.ppa
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word/PDFMaker.dot

After deleting these files, that annoying PDF toolbar won't be appear in the appropriate applications.

Note that after deleting these files and launching Adobe Acrobat, the following warning may occur:

-----------------------------------------
Repair Setup

Acrobat has detected that there are missing components that require repair. Click Continue if you would like to repair the selected components. Click Cancel to cancel out of the "Repari Setup."

[x] PDFMaker

[ ] Do not show Repair Setup again [ Cancel ] [ Continue]
------------------------------------------

If you click on Continue without unchecking the PDFMaker checkbox, the files deleted earlier will created again. So you have to uncheck the "PDFMaker" checkbox and click to continue. (If you don't want to see this warning dialog in the future, click on the "Do not show Repair Setup again" checkbox as well.
