A coworker shared this solution today as it's an ongoing issue with a coworker on a PC

Based on that Adobe article, it looks like it is a known issue with Microsoft Word having been updated.

On Windows, new releases from MS Word and Adobe Acrobat have corrected the problem.

Update your software on your Mac (both programs) and see if this corrects the problem.

Acrobat: 2021.007.20099

Adobe PDF Maker: Producer PDF Library 21.7.131
(look for this in a PDF file, Document Properties / Description / PDF Producer

MS Office 365: version 2019, build 14430.20306
