Adobe Acrobat DC Admin Block When Converting Files To PDF

Hello,

I just installed Adobe Acrobat DC Pro on a teacher's machine, but she is not able to convert any Word files to PDF from within the Adobe Acrobat DC Pro program.  When she clicks the CREATE button after she has selected the Word file, it throws up the red x block stating:

 

"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 system administrator."

 

Teachers are not allowed to have local admin rights, but this also was never a problem in the past either.  Converting files never needed to be done by an admin account before. What changed and how can we allow for non-administrator accounts to do the file conversion?
