Office Macro Blocking - PDFmaker

[Mjolkin]

Hi,

I'm having issues with the Adobe PDFmaker add-in for office. As per company policy we have macros disabled in the office suite, however this causes issues with the adobe plugin working. 

We are unable to combine documents from adobe pro if they include office documents .docx .xlsx etc, and it comes up with the error PDFmaker files missing.

This is due to the PDFmaker add-in being disabled by default due to macro blocking. I'm trying to find a way to get the add-in to work and not be disabled while still blocking all other macros.

I tried adding the adobe plugin certifcate to trusted publishers which fixed the issue with adobe pro but however caused another issue when opening word documents I get the below error.

Has anyone found a solution to have the PDFMaker pluggin allowed without popups and still retain macro blocking?

Thanks.

For anyone having this issue I found the root cause to be the below setting in our policy.

The Adobe Add-in apparently uses VBA to work, by blocking it we expirenced the issues described. 

Once this setting was removed the add-in worked with macro blocking enabled.
