Excel 365 convert to pdf very slow compared to Excel 2010

I have used Acrobat Pro XI for a long time.  Converting a 39 page Excel 2010 file to pdf is fairly fast -- about 30 seconds.  I have installed Office 365 and the conversion of the same file to pdf takes 3 times as long.  This is particularly annoying when I convert 5 or 6 files; the time difference is substantial.

I have also tried Acrobat DC (most recent version as of June 2017) and the same problem exists.

I have removed and reinstalled Office 365 3 times and the problems persists.  So, I conclude that there is a fundamental conversion speed issue with all versions of Acrobat and Office 365.

Is there a fix for this -- I would really like to upgrade to Office 365 but am stuck with 2010 because of this speed issue.

Follow-up:  Since my post, I have tried installing Office 365 again.  This time I also removed Office 2010.  I'm not sure if that's the reason, but now Acrobat XI Pro converts 5 large files with links in about 1 minute -- very fast.  So my issue is resolved.

Hi Akanchha,

This solution did not work for me. I only have Office 365 installed, and do not have Office 2010 installed on my computer. Any other solutions available?
