Stopped converting on Desktop

My adobe reader stopped converting files. I have been using for a few years with no issue until a few days ago. Didn't do anything to my computer. Tried clearing cache, and it worked once. Cleared cache and reinstalled, still not converting. When I click the convert button, it does nothing.
