Acrobat PDF Add-in

Hiya, I hope someone can help...

I've used the Adobe Acrobat PDF add-in (on PowerPoint & Word) several times a day for years. I've just logged on after a week off and it has disappeared.

I have had a few issues with add-ins recently so I thought nothing of it and went to add it back... but it really has gone.

Instead, I can get:

Adobe Creative Cloud - actually looks useful but doesn’t create PDF files in 2 clicks

Adobe sign - definitely doesn’t do what I need as far as I can tell.

So, where on earth has this add-in gone. Please don’t tell me it has been replaced by these two new-fangled add-ins that literally do everything BUT the very simple job I'm looking to do?

Thank you

Fran :)

    To see if your Acrobat add-in is installed, on the menu bar choose Tools > PowerPoint Add-ins. If you have the tool installed, it will display as SaveAsAdoebPDF in the dialog as shown here:

    If it is not showing, click the + sign in the lower left corner of the Add-ins dialog and see if the file is in the Add-Ins folder. The Add-Ins folder is in a hidden location. In Finder, use the Menu Bar and choose GO > Go to Folder. Paste this directory into the dialog and it will take you to the folder where the add-in would be if it is installed.

      ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/PowerPoint/

    If it's not there, then reinstall Adobe Acrobat.

    Hi Fran,

    Did you try re-installing Acrobat, that would be the best way to resolve this, the current Acrobat installation may have become corrupt.

    Thank you for getting back to me.

    I did originally think that was the case. But I definitely have Acrobat installed and no settings have been changed with that (I've checked a lot)

    Very strange

    Hi Fran,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That Adobe PDF add-in is not part of an Office installation, it is part of an Adobe Acrobat installation.

    If you previously had that functionality, you must have Adobe Acrobat installed on your Mac, the best option would be to re-install Adobe Acrobat, that should re-install the add-in.
