How do you add Word doc to Acrobat to create multiple files

I have the teacher version of Adobe Creative Cloud. I have Acrobat downloaded onto my computer. When I go to choose a file to pull into the acrobat software to turn into a pdf, or create a large multi-page PDF file it will only accept other pdfs. It will not recognize Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents. This is really weird to me. I recently had to update my monthly plan program.

Am I doing something wrong? Was there something else I should have downloaded?

Please help.

Thanks

Have you installed Office on your own system, or do you use it only on the web (Office Online)? Acrobat NEEDS local copies to work properly. You don't have to use them.

It looks as if Acrobat can't find or work with Microsoft Office. What version of Office do you have installed on this computer?

My computer itself runs on windows 10. I pay for the monthly Microsoft office suite and it runs word and excel power point 365 programs. I have checked for all and installed all update as required

Hello,

As you need to create PDF from the Word documents, please make sure that you are using the Adobe Acrobat DC.

You can check the application name at the top of the application window at the top right-hand side of the screen.

As per your description, it seems that you have not selected "All format types" in the file selection window.

In the Open window, where you select the files to create PDF, make sure you select "All format files" from the drop-down list. Check the highlighted box in the screenshot shared below.

Hope that resolves the issue.

Let us know if you need any help.

Regards,

Meenakshi

Thank you for responding, but the answer does not seem to help me. I am still having trouble getting word documents to turn into pdfs. have attached a file showing that I have the Acrobat Pro DC program. When I pull up the select files I am not given the option to select Word docs (see the section image). So what do i do now? Thank your for your help.
