How do I keep Acrobat from opening excel or word when I do a right click Convert to Adobe PDF?

Hi Michaelr,

Edited:-

We apologize for the delay in response to your query.

If I understand your query correctly, your excel file opens up when you select it for the conversion (to .pdf)?

I am assuming this is because the "Mouse Setting" which has been changed after windows update. It started opening the file in "Single Click"

You may check how to change settings back to what it was-

• To effect this change, You will have to change a setting in your Folder Options (Windows 8/7) – now called File Explorer Options in Windows 10.
• To do this, type ‘Folder‘ in Start Search and click on Folder Options or File Explorer Options.
• Here under the General tab, you will see Click items as follows.
• Select Single-click to open an item (point to select).
• You may also want to select the Underline icon tiles only when I point at them option.
• Click Apply > OK > Exit.

However, if this is not the case and something else is going wrong then you must check updates if there is any pending update of the Acrobat. Because there isn't any specific setting in Acrobat which has changed application's behavior.
