    I upgraded from Acrobat 6 to Acrobat 8 and immediately begain getting the "distmon" error every time I started Excel.  I tried every single suggestion in this posting and every other relevant website with no success.  Some of them I tried twice.  The only fix was:

     

    1) uninstall Acrobat 8 (required reboot)

    2) reinstall Acrobat 6.

    3) uninstall Acrobat 6 (required reboot).  After reboot the "distmon" error in Excel was gone.

    4) reinstall Acrobat 8 (required reboot)

    In my case, I looked everywhere for pdfmaker files - nada.  Turns out my AppData folder was redirected in Group Policy to a folder on the file server.  I then looked in the redirected folder on the server " \AppData\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart\ " and there it was, pdfmaker.xla... nasty filthy little maggot. 

     

    I deleted it - problem solved.
