Hi @31736097baom 

 

While converting the word file to PDF, are you using save as Adobe PDF or Save as PDF?

There's a difference in both, as one is Microsoft's PDF maker plugin, and the other is an Acrobat plugin.

If ts freeware Acrobat Reader, that doesn't provide a PDF maker plugin.

If you are using save as Adobe PDF, then try the following troubleshooting steps:

1- Update the Acrobat Pro desktop application.

2- Try the troubleshooting steps suggested here step-by-step: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-acrobat-pdfmaker-problems-office.html 

 

Let us know the result.

 

Thanks,
