I also cross-posted this here:

User that in question is using Office 2003 Professional, and Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
Database in question is secured. User is a read-only user.
Database is opened in runtime mode.
When the user opens the database he gets about apx 20-30 errors on opening warning him he is not in exclusive mode. Eventually I figured out that (for whatever reason) this error was being caused when the Acrobat PDFMaker addin tried to put in it's toolbar. As I workaround I unregistered PDF Maker (PDFMOfficeAddin.dll) with regsvr32 but that turns it off for all office products period.

Does anyone know of a way to make these two play nice?

Aaron, this won't help with the immediate issue, but I avoid Adobe's PDF Maker as it is well documented that it just does not play nice in the sandbox with others. If your user is open to a free alternative to Adobe, have them check out PDFCreator. You can find some examples at my site, including one on access (http://www.excelguru.ca/node/68).
