Additional FIles need to be installed to create PDF Error from Word File

Hi ,

additional files will need to be installed to create pdf from this file . you must have administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local adminstrator.

I had this problem as well and I found a solution.

 

The problem actually lies in Microsoft Office, not Adobe. You need to run a repair tool for Microsoft Office.  This tool is already installed on your computer if you have Office. Here is the solution:

 

Go to: Settings > Apps > Click "Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise - en - us" > Modify > Allow changes > Quick Repair

 

Hope this helps!

The link takes us to the Google SERP.

I didn't understand where you are getting stuck.

I hope you re-put the link.
