PDF Maker files missing - Acrobat DC Desktop

[TempestChaserZ]

Good Afternoon Gurus,

I recently purchased Acrobat DC in order to convert an excel document into a pdf with fields that can be filled in.  The first time I ran this process, it worked without issue, however I had to close it and modify the original document as there were errors that needed corrected first.  When I tried to select the newly corrected form I get the "Missing PDFMaker files" error message.  I have gone into excel and confirmed that it is showing as active.

I have tried the following:

- Standard restart

- Uninstall, Standard Restart, Reinstall

Software Specs:

- Latest desktop version of Acrobat DC

- MS Office 2016 64 Bit

- Windows 10 64 Bit

Any advice y'all can provide would be most helpful. I'm at my wits end..

Good Afternoon Meenakshin83966505,

I have followed all the steps indicated with no success, including removing Acrobat DC again and manually registering the add-in manually. The repair function doesn't do anything to assist either.

I do have the acrobat tab in Excel, however when I try to use that function it crashes Excel.

I was able to find a workaround by printing from Excel as a PDF and then editing within Acrobat. This will suffice.  Thank you for your time.
