    Hi Andym,

    As the "Save as PDF" is not available in MS Excel, please check if the Adobe PDF Maker is added under the Add-ins.

    Launch Excel and go to File > Options > Add-ins

    Refer to the steps provided in the following help document Troubleshoot Acrobat PDFMaker issues in Microsoft Office on Windows

    Let us know if the issue persists.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

      I found that even if Adobe PDF Maker is enabled in MS Excel, the "Save as PDF" option is still missing. This just started for me, and was working as of last week. Now, it is gone. The only way I can get the "Save as PDF" option to return is to open Excel as and administrator, then open my excel file.

      Hi @Dave.Cox,

       

      Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble.

       

      From the description, it seems like the Add-in has been removed or is corrupted which is the reason you are not able to use the same.

       

      Would you mind trying the steps mentioned in the help article here: https://adobe.ly/4bOk0PS.

       

      Let us know how it goes.


      Regards,
      Souvik.
