Running XP and Office 2003 and WordPerfect 12 -- Having had problems with "corrupt" pdf files which I saved from Word and WordPerfect docs, I uninstalled the Acrobat reader and installed version 8.1. I now do not have option to "save as" or "publish to" the pdf format. Adobe helpline referred me to research their 2000+ questions and see if I could find my own answer!!! Help me, please.

Adobe Acrobat Pro to create PDF's the standard Adobe Acrobat reader does just that... reads pdf's.

Looks like you uninstalled Acrobat Pro and reinstalled Acrobat Reader.

Acrobat Writer as well?

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can create pdf files using just word and acrobat reader.

Assuming you have Acrobat Writer (or is it called Professional?) installed. I seem to remember that you need to (un)install the reader and writer in a particular order for you to be able to update.

Maybe you could try doing a repair on the Acrobat Writer Professional install?

... then go download CutePDF. It's free and allows you to make PDFs by printing the document to the CutePDF "printer" which creates the PDF for you. This works for pretty much every program.

One of the alternative PDF creators, or find your original copy Adobe Acrobat.

PDF Creator
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
is a nice small application that's free with a lot of features I find useful. (Works like Acrobat in that it adds a virtual printer to the system to create PDF pages)

As far as I know, you could save as PDF files by using MS Word 2007 or above.

Besides, there are also many free online pdf converter tools available, such as Zamzar.
