Hi,

With the customization wizard, Acrobat Pro DC, I am disabling the Office plugin by setting HKLM\software\Microsoft\Office\Excel, word MS Project, Outlook\Addins\PDFMaker OfficeAddin, LoadBehavior to 0 (3 by default).

Are they other ways to prevent Office plugins appearing in Office?

Are they other downside?

Thanks,

Would very much like an answer to this. I wish to *completely* remove all these Acrobat features from Outlook, that *I never wanted installed in the first place.*
