PDFMaker and Compile Errors
I just installed Office 2007 and each time I open Excel I receive the
following message: "The file you are trying to open "PDFMaker.old2" is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now? "Yes" and then: Compile error in hidden module "AutoExecNew" and upon closing Excel I receive: Compile error in hidden module: DistMon. I have taken the following steps: deleted all pdfmaker files, removed the program "Paper Port" the source of the pdfmaker add-in, removed the pdfmaker add-in in Excel, removed all Norton programs, removed Adobe Reader and reinstalled Adobe with the latest update and I also ran the auto correction in Adboe and emptied the Recycle Bin. This is not causing a problem but is just irritating - does anyone have a solution to my problem? Thanks I would really appreciate suggestions. LinKay |

PDFMaker and Compile Errors
I bet when you were having trouble with that autoexecnew, you decided to rename
pdfmaker.xl* to *.old2--instead of moving it to a different location. And now even though you think you deleted all the pdfmaker.* files, you missed one. I'd close excel and use windows start|search to look for pdfmaker*.* files. Remember to look in hidden folders, too. If that doesn't work, you can try an old DOS command to search: Windows Start button|Run type: CMD (to get to the Command prompt) C: (to get to the C: drive--change this to the drive that excel is installed on) cd\ (to get to the root directory) dir pdfmaker*.* /s The /s says to search subfolders, too. Make a note of the locations of the found files. I would move them somewhere else or delete them--not just rename them. ======= Some background info about the pdfmaker problem: Take a look he http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q307410 OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start Word or Excel LinKay wrote: I just installed Office 2007 and each time I open Excel I receive the following message: "The file you are trying to open "PDFMaker.old2" is in a different format than specified by the file extension.

PDFMaker and Compile Errors
Thanks so much - there were actually 5 pdf files hidden. I appreciate your
help. Linda "Dave Peterson" wrote: I bet when you were having trouble with that autoexecnew, you decided to rename pdfmaker.xl* to *.old2--instead of moving it to a different location.
