Uninstall Outlook and Acrobat. 2. Reinstall Outlook 3. Do a custom install of Acrobat and choose not to add the PDFmaker buttons. - This is similar to the above method except that the buttons never get installed in the first place so hopefully the Outlook DLL files won't be corrupted. For more info you can call Adobe at 1-800-642-3623 - Mitch John,
