When I right click a file and choose "convert to PDF", a window opens showing progress. The progress barely gets started and the window closes. No error message, no PDF file. Sometimes the window flashes on the screen too fast to read. Windows 10 pro 64 bit, Acrobat XI Standard. This happens with Word, Excel, and text files. I can print to PDF from Word, and it works fine. Any Ideas ?
Here are the only log entries that I could find. the entries are identical going back several months. These are from the "messages.log" file.

CID support library initialization completed.
That looks like the initialization log for Acrobat. When a document is converted to a PDF a file with a file name of the document being converted with an extension of "log". This is same information that is displayed when one looks at the details as the file is being converted.
The log can look something like, when there are no errors:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[LastPage]%%
Any error will show the page number and some vague statement about the error.
