Compile Error in Hidden Module: Distmon in Excel 2003 and 2007
Written by Christian on August 21, 2008 – 9:19 amAfter installation of Adobe Professional 7, 8 or 9, you may get the following error when you start Excel 2003 or Excel 2007:
“Compile Error in Hidden Module: Distmon”
The cause of this error is PDFMaker.xla, which loads at startup. Since Adobe Professional 8 uses DLL-addins to add the toolbar in Excel, you can safely delete the PDFMaker.xla file on your computer.
Sometimes PDFMaker.xla is located in your profile directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PDFMaker.xla
Other times, PDFMaker.xla can be located in your Program Files directory.
