Adobe Plug In missing from menu bar

Question

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed on my computer that allows me to create, edit PDFs. In Word there used to be an ACROBAT option in the tool bar that when clicked would open a few options like "Create PDF." This would allow me to create a PDF from a Word file without doing a Save As or Print.

But suddenly the ACROBAT option is no longer appearing. I've read several help pages and gone through the Options > Add-Ins check the box procedure. I've run Word as an Administrator and tried to add the .dll file, and I've even edited the registry.  But nothing works. 

Any ideas?

It may depend on the version of Acrobat you have installed (only the most recent versions are compatible), but see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/missing-adobe-acrobat-tab-even-when-add-in-is-enabled-in-office-2016-apps-9a723b83-3ef5-4dd0-9701-269d888e7396.
