When you convert a word file to pdf, do you use the Adobe PDF Maker plugin in MS Office or create PDF Tool from Adobe Acrobat DC?

Have you installed the latest MS Office update too? If not, then please check for it. 

If none of the solutions provided worked, then run this cleaner tool to remove the application and its traces: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html 

and download the application from here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html 

 

Thanks,
