How to put the "Merge to Adobe PDF" Icon on Word

[RSVM]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to put the "Merge to Adobe PDF" Icon on Word inside the "Mailings".
I have the "Adobe Reader DC" installed on my PC. I need any other program install for that ???
I try to go in Word in "Options" - "Supplements" , but i don't have any add-in (about PDF) to choose.

I send you a photo of my "Word" toolbar inside the "Mailings" where my last icon is "Complete and Merge" and another photo of the toolbar that I would like to have with "Merge to adobe PDF"

Many thanks for your help !!
(Sorry about my bad english)

The 'Merge to Adobe' tool is part of Adobe Acrobat Pro; it does not come with the free reader.


If you want to generate a PDF from a Word mailmerge, simply save the output document in PDF format. Alternatively, if you're wanting to generate a separate PDF per merge record, see Send Mailmerge Output to Individual Files in the Mailmerge Tips and Tricks thread at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-merge/21803-mailmerge-tips-tricks.html

I install the Adobe Acrobat Pro, but still don't have the "Merge to Adobe PDF" Icon on Word inside the "Mailings". I can´t understand why !

Hi!

First, go in your Program Files directory if you have the "PDFMWord.dll". It should be PDFMaker in the Adobe directory.

If so, then in Word, go in the Option Windows

I'll show you a print scren of the window you must click in cause I don't know the translation in English but this is where you will be able to add the AddOn.

Hi Again,
Yes, I have the "PDFMWord.dll".
But in "Word", "Complements", I don't have the "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin".
If I try do add it and go to the directory where he is, c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMWord.dll, open a window tell me that is not a valid Complement of Office
I will try to send you 4 photos about what I mean.
Thanks again for your time.

Is the version of Acrobat that you have compatible with your Office version? You would need to ask Adobe, but compatibility issues have been a recurring theme with Acrobat and Office.

I understand now as someone give me the information, that ADOBE ask me to install in a folder x86 what means that is for Office 32 bits. The Office of 64 bits (mine) don't let execute add ins of 32 bits.
Anyway is strange that i have the add in on my excel , power point and Outlook. Only in WOrd I don't have it. I don't now if I can do anything to work well in Word. (Sorry about my english!)
