When trying to save a word document as a PDF I continually get an error. I use File save as in word. I have never had this happen before. I am using Macbook Pro 10.10.5 Yosemite. This only started happening recently when I upgraded creative cloud software.

Hi tammyd41624698,

This is a feature of MS Word 2016, so I will recommend you to consult the Microsoft support team as they have expertise on this application.

They will surely help you to get it fixed.

Same problem. I solved it by using a short file name. The WORD file name was long and had a "+" in it and could not be converted. Changing to a one-word file name worked.

Thanks Adesh, the steps provided in the link are exactly what I did. This is strange because I have never had a problem saving a word document as PDF. I click file save as choose pdf as the format then get an error that I can't save the file. I am running Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Version 2015.008.20082
