According to this Knowledge Base Article from Microsoft,
"This problem can occur when both of the following conditions
are true:
- The Microsoft Office Startup folder or the Microsoft Excel
Startup folder contains either (or both) of the following
Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker add-in template files:
Pdfmaker.dot
Pdfmaker.xla
-and-
- Norton AntiVirus software is installed."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307410&Product=xlw
Instructions given for three workarounds to resolve this
problem include:
- Obtaining the Latest Version of the Adobe Add-in
- Moving these files to a different location.
- Disabling the Norton AntiVirus Office Plug-in
Another page which explores this problem is on ExpertsExchange
and explores a solution for someone who did not have Norton
Antivirus on their system. The author of the solution wrote:
"Have a look for automatically loaded documents.
(inside the Office-Folder it's .\Startup for Word
and .\XlStart for Excel)"
"Have a look at the VBA-Editor of any app that's
causing the error (Press Alt + F11). There, have a
look at the project-explorer (Ctrl + R).
Check all projects that are listed there, whether
some have a module with an AutoExceNew-Sub. If there
is a project you can't open because of a
password-protection, you're likely to have found the
problem."
"Check out, what it is, correct it or just remove the file."
When the PDFMaker.xla files proved difficult to delete,
another member of the forum suggested:
"1) Exit out of Excel/VBA editor 2) search for PDFMaker.xla
on your local drive including subfolders, AND before you
"start" the search indicate that you want to also search
hidden files (in XP notably). The files are hidden.
3) In my case there were 4 copies of pdfmaker.xla strewn
about the place and I deleted them all and Excel works fine"
