Problem that third-party plug-ins are not displayed in the tool list of Acrobat DC Pro

Regarding the Windows version, there is a problem that third-party plug-ins are not displayed in the Acrobat tool list.
"Use only certified plug-ins" in the following settings (Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Application Startup) is not checked, but it is set to "Currently in Certified Mode: Yes",
It looks like it's stuck in a state where only Adobe-Certified plugins can be used.
I've done some research and haven't found a way to change the settings for "Currently in Certified Mode".

The Mac version has "Currently in Certified Mode: No", and you can use third-party plug-ins without problems.
I suspect that this is a problem with the Windows version of Acrobat.

Please tell me how to change the setting of the "Currently in Certified Mode" of Acrobat for Windows.

Thank you.

This is still an issue.  WIndows 11 Pro, Acrobat 2024 64-bit, add-in is a 64-bit.  I've set the above properly, set the recommended settings of the add-in provider, and it won't install in acrobat.  It successfully installs on all MS365 applications.  What's up with Adobe?  If the other vendors begin to support a pdf program other than Acrobat I'm out of here.  As it is, it's required.  So I have an overpriced product I have to use that doesn't work.  Adobe gets richer, and I work more hours.  Grand.

Were you ever able to resolve this issue by chance? I've encountered the same problem as well.

Same here. I can reach the PlugIn via Pull Down Menu "PlugIns" but it´s not listed in the Tools List.

I'm thinking that if I can change the Application Startup setting to "Currently in Certified Mode: No", my plug-in will appear in the tools list.

You will see "Currently in Certified Mode: No" when one or more non-ceritified plugins were loaded.

The plug-ins are also 64bit versions?

32bit or 64bit version of Acrobat?

Whether its a 64bit or 32bit everything should work properly. I was facing the same issue but solved that easily.

you probably have 64/bit Acrobat. Check the plugins for compatibility. If they are over a year old they certainly won't work.
