What version of Office do you have? How are you trying to convert the files, exactly?

I'm using Excel 2003 and trying to convert the Excel file by right

clicking on the file name as displayed by Windows Explorer. And,

then selecting "Convert to Adobe PDF" from the drop-down menu/

Reinstall acrobat.    

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

I have reinstalled Acrobat Pro DC, twice. I am surprised to learn

that

"Windows 8 will not convert Word or Excel file to PDF". Acrobat Pro

DC

and Windows 8 convert Word files with ease. It is just Excel files

that

return the message "Adobe PDF Converter.xls could not be found".

Thanks for your continued help, Doug

Hi Douglas,

Acrobat DC doesnt support Office 2003. You need to upgrade your office to Office 2007 or above. Please refer Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications for more details.

Regards,

Basma
