Hello, I have seen other threads about this issue before, but I still cannot get Acrobat to behave properly. I have spent over 3 hours on the phone with Adobe support, and they were not at all helpful even after they tried everything via remote access. We do print work for customers, and they just send their file in whatever format they have. I have never ever had this issue my entire time using Acrobat, but NOTHING will convert to PDF. I get the same error message every time:
"Adobe Acrobat could not open 'filename' because it is either not a supported file type, or because the file has been damaged"
We get this message no matter what. And I actually found *a* fix. I deleted the entire Acrobat folder from the Windows Registry Editor. This actually worked... for one file. After doing one file it would revert back to giving that error message. I thought maybe it had something weird to do with our main computer, so I tried it on all the other computers and they all do the same thing whether the file is downloaded from an email or created locally on the machine. All the computers we tried on are Windows 10, and Acrobat is up to date on each one. If any of you could help that would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Noah2881766236d8,
Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.
If the issue still occurs, please let us know if this started after any recent changes.
Try creating a new Word file for text and then convert it to PDF. Check if that works.
Would you mind sharing the file that is not converting? We would like to check that on our end.
Share the Acrobat and OS version numbers. Also, the screenshot of the error message.
Thanks,
Meenakshi
