You will need to get a addon for that. When you want to save the files in pdf there is a pdf addon that will help you to save the file. You can get that from web. You can simply install that and then try to save in pdf. You can also get the same through windows update also. It will help you to save files in pdf without error. You can also try to run a repair setup to fix this kind of issue.

Missing PDFMaker file FIX Oct 4, 2011
There are a 2 ways of doing this. This is the easy. Get used to it not working like it used to.
For "New Files" Click save - under file name - click beside "file type" (it should say "word document" click it, scroll down to PDF, save it. It will save the PDF to the location you choose, and keep the word document up to save as you choose.
For "Older Files" Open them, then click - save as- follow directions above.

2nd method the teck said may or may not work. In Word the the Acrobat tab is a 3rd party tab, and not there program. Adobe Acrobat loads it. So first uninstall both programs. Install word first, then Adobe. Adobe's program should pick it up and make the PDFmaker file work, or so he said, may or may not, its not there program to make work.
Good luck to you all. The first method saves the day till you have time to re-load the programs.
