That at least ought to ensure that PDFMaker is uninstalled along with
the rest of Acrobat. (Make sure Word isn't open when you do the
uninstall)
I was thinking of recommending an uninstall myself. I was held back by
the possibility that your Acrobat 8 disk is the upgrade version. If
you uninstall first, I believe you will need to have your Acrobat 6
disk available when you install Acrobat 8, in order to confirm that
you really are upgrading. That's fine if you happen to have the disk
to hand.
