How to integrate / slipstream SP3 in Microsoft Office 2007 DVD
Here is a quick guide on how to integrate or Slipstream MS Office SP3 2007 into the installation CD/DVD.
Create A New Folder anywhere on the disk, and name it, for instance, 'Office2007'; For this purpose I have created new folder on my D:\ Drive
Ok to be able to Integrate or slipstream MS Office SP3 2007 into the installation CD/DVD first thing you will need to do is Download the "office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe" file.
Click on the following link to download MS Office 2007 SP3 - http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=27838
The next thing to do is copy the Microsoft Office 2007 files from your CD/DVD/ISO to the folder you have just created 'Office2007'.
Let's presume that you have downloaded Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 file in the root of your D: drive
Hit WIN Orb in the Start Menu and open CMD (Command Prompt)
Type D:\ and then enter the following command:
office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:D:\Office2007\Updates\
You should see a new window pop up 'Microsoft Software License Terms' for 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (SP3)
Here you just need to accept the license terms and Click on Continue to proceed.
Files are now being extracted from the SP3 file you have downloaded.
The reason we have had to Integrate or Slipstream the SP3 file this way is because the update needs to be in the .msp file format to be able to install from the updates folder from your Microsoft Office 2007 Installation CD/DVD
You should get a 'Instalation is complete' message after couple of seconds.
Click OK
All you have to do now is burn Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 Installation back to a CD/DVD from the 'Office2007' folder.

Missing PDF Maker files message in Adobe Acrobat X
When you try to create a new PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Professional X you may receive the following message:
Missing PDFMaker files.
Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?
This error may appear when using Adobe Acrobat Professional X in conjunction with Microsoft Office 2010 x64, since the PDFMaker macro for Adobe Acrobat X works only with x86 MS Office applications.
Also, when using Microsoft Office 2010 x64 (64-bit) with Acrobat X the PDFMaker ribbon doesn't appear.
At this time, Adobe is not offering a PDFMaker add-in for the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. To use the PDFMaker add-in, run the 32-bit version of Office 2010.
Solution:
Open the .docx or any other file using Microsoft Office and then choose to save as .pdf document or choose to print to the Adobe PDF Printer to create PDF files using Acrobat X.
Update June 2011
Another solution has been posted on Adobe forums (thanks to DWD on this)
Open Office Application (i.e. Word, Excel)
Click the Office Icon in upper left corner
Click the "Word Options" button bottom right
Select Add-ins from the left column
(I scrolled through the box and noticed that for some reason the PDFMaker Com Office Add-in was disabled)
I went to the Manage drop down box at the bottom and selected "Disabled Items" and hit Go
Enabled the PDFMaker Add-in
Restart application
Comments are welcome!
