Attach as Adobe PDF macro button in Outlook

[Laura_Baron@adobeforums.com]

Using Outlook 2002 and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows 2000 platform.

I start a new email, and click on the "Attach as Adobe PDF" button. I choose a Word document, and then the filename and location of the PDF file. The document opens in Word, but instead of converting the file, it returns back to the email, and gives an error message saying that it was unable to convert the file.

If I open the document in Word, and print to the Adobe printer (instead of using the "Attach as Adobe PDF" button), the document converts without error.

Is there something wrong with the "Attach as Adobe PDF" button? I was able to replicate this on two different machines.

Can you convert using the PDFMaker icon in Word?
