Using win 10, Upgraded office 2010, to office 365.. lost the ability to convert an excel to pdf. In adobe acrobat std, there is the "convert to" preference listing and excel is not in there, see attached. I attached a second pic and that show right clicking an excel fiIe should give you the combine or convert option. checked another pc and the ms excel is in the preference list. I had also updated adobe to acrobat DC 2015 (the latest release) and didn't fix it. Microsoft is not really sure what the issue could be, so I thought I would see if anyone else had this issue.

The convert to pdf, does work in word and power point. so excel is the only

issue.

Hi grainm45177146 ,

Could you please tell if you are able to see the Acrobat tab in Excel Ribbon ?

Below is the screenshot of the Ribbon with Acrobat tab.

Try to repair Acrobat DC 2015 , Open Acrobat, go to Help>Repair Installation .

After repair , restart the computer and then try to convert .

Let us know about the results.

Thanks!
