"Unable to find 'Adobe PDF' resource files" - Feb 2021

We have probably a dozen people who last week, when trying to save emails as PDFs or convert DOCX files to PDF started reporting errors of:

 

 

I figured that with everyone having the issue at the same time it was either related to Windows Updates, Office 2019 Updates, or an update from Adobe...?  I see the error reported in articles a couple years ago but nothing recent.

 

Acrobat version is 2017 (17.011.30190)

 

Appreciate any input!

I don't have inside info, but I do have a test which checks: does Acrobat PDFMaker for Word work at all? (This is a Word add-on, added by Acrobat, to make PDFs using Word).

 

Start Word. Look for the Acrobat ribbon. Open a Word document. Choose Create PDF (or similar) from the Acrobat ribbon. Does this work?

I am unable to convert or combine windows documents to pdf and I could last week. 

 

Is this an adobe issue or a Microsoft issue?
