Hi @aldo25596118bux7 

 

We are sorry to hear that. Please try to create the PDF from the File menu of Acrobat DC and see if that works for you.

 

Also, what is the workflow/steps you are doing to create the PDF from MS office? Are you saving as PDF (MS Process) or Save as Adobe PDF (Adobe Process)? Please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/create-pdf-files-word-excel-website.html

 

Is this an issue with a particular file or with all the files? please share a small video recording of the steps you are doing and a screenshot of the error message you get for a better understanding.

 

Also, make sure you have the application updated to the recent version 22.2.20121, go to help > check for updates and reboot the computer once.

 

Regards

Amal

If I try to create a PDF from a file (power point in this case) as you suggest, Acrobat start open the file and then abort at the end of load.

 

the workflow from MS Office is simple, I create a file, then normally save it whith native extension than I go to file menu, save as Adobe PDF, it start to convert the file and at the end, when it shoud save it, occurs the error. Same thing with Word, Excel, Power Point,....

 

I can generate the screenshot but it is in Italian. Let me Know if it is the same for you.

 

My current release is 2022.002.20212 64bit update next week

Office 365 is Microsoft® Excel® per Microsoft 365 MSO (Versione 2209 Build 16.0.15629.20152) a 64 bit update few days ago after Acrobat update

 

Until I update MS Office, all work fine.

 

my windows version is Windows 11 Pro - 22H2 - 22621.521

ther's no number or referral. It simply say that ther was an unspected error. PDFMaker was not able to create the Adobe PDF file (the error occurs at the end of the proces)
