I completely understand the frustrations you may be encountering. Below is a link to the process that I've outlined below it. I hope this helps.

Word to PDF converter, convert Excel, PPT to PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC

How to convert a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file to a protected PDF in Windows:

  1. Open a file in an Office application.
  2. Click Create PDF in the Acrobat ribbon.
  3. Select Protect PDF in the resulting dialog box.
  4. In the next dialog box, set up a password and file permissions as desired to restrict people from copying or editing the file.
  5. Click OK, name the PDF file, and save it in a desired location.

In prior versions I was able to do it from Adobe and didn't need to open them in Word or Excel.  I have an add in that allows me to convert PDF file attachments from Word, Excel etc into PDF format within a Portfolio.  Is that feature no longer available in Adobe Acrobat Standard DC?
