create pdf from file without uploading to cloud first

Sometime last week (after an update to acrobat pro dc) when i attempt to create a pdf by using [File-->Create--> From File] acrobat now wants to first upload the file to the cloud before it will make the pdf,. I really don't need to involve the cloud in this at all, i can't seem to find a way to do this without the file first uploading to the cloud. Does anyone know how i can prevent this?

This can readily be accomplished. In Acrobat DC, use File=>Create=>PDF from File and you will get the following dialog to specify the file you want to create PDF from:

By selecting or deselecting the Use Adobe Create PDF cloud service, you directly specify whether the PDF is created on your host system or whether the cloud service is used.

I tried this both ways and this does indeed work.

I don't see the option to do this in Adobe Acrobat Pro for PC. Any advice?
