Hello friends, I currently have Acrobat as a tab in MS Word on my MacBook Pro. (See screenshot.)
I can't remember how to create a new tab in MS Word on a family member's laptop, despite hours of searching online.
Do you happen to know how to do this? Thank you!

In Word:
Show the Developer tab of the Ribbon (options > customize Ribbon)
In the Add-ins Group, choose COM Add-ins
Then enable Acrobat PDFMaker from the COM Add-ins dialog
I've moved your post from Using the Community (for questions about the forums) to the Adobe Acrobat forum for you.

Solution for PC does not apply to Mac!
I chased this down for a new iMac setup (which is how I came to this post), since I also have a 2020 MBP with the same software. This problem seems to be that Adobe no longer loads the ribbon macro with Acrobat DC. The file on my MPB is called linkCreation.dotm. If you chase down this file in your old Mac and install it in your defaut start directory for Word 365 (file locations under Preferences), it should work (at least it did for me). For some reason trying the old Normal.dotm file (which seems to be what Microsoft support says should work) did not work for me - when I copied the old Normal.dotm file to the new machine template folder, Word did not recognise the macro??
