Acrobat Reader can't create PDF files. How does you create the PDF files?

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

The PDF documents are created by MS Office 2016 Excel or Word application using the save as PDF otion.  I have the same MS Office application on two computers but the new install is not working/converting the document as displayed in the Excel.  Since its a new install am I missing a Adobe add-in?  I've checked both Office application settingss under file/otions/addins and they are the same.  Also check the setting when saving the pdf document under the option tab, thoses are the same.

When viewing the problem document, go to the Help menu. Choose About Acrobat Reader. Please tell us the version (like 2016.123.45678)

Exporting to XLSX works best from tagged PDF documents, but you can't change that with Acrobat Reader, you need Acrobat Pro.
