I am running both MS Office 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0. I've had no problems converting Word, Excel or Visio files to pdf. The only difference I've found is in Office 2010 the icon is missing from the tool bar. Previously I could click on the icon and create the pdf. In 2010 I have to print the document and select Adobe Acrobat as the printer. Slight inconnvenience but other than that I've had no issues.
I'm not sure what the cause of your error is though.
