PDF Maker always unchecked in Word

I have Adobe Acrobat DC installed.  Love the quick "Save as Acrobat PDF" function.  

However, the "COM Add-in" for Word becomes unchecked every time I exit and re-launch Word.  It's a pain to have to go through options and re-add the add-in each time I launch Word.

Here are a couple of nuances...

The Acrobat add-in does not go "unchecked" in Excel, PowerPoint or Output.  (It's always available in these apps)

The Acrobat add-in is available in Word when I run as an Administrator.

How can I make this Add-in "stick"?

Thanks,

    - Mark

Don't have answers for your main questions but pointing out that under File>SaveAs pdf is an available format.

Hi MarkMalburg,

Is this behavior recent? or did it start happening after an office update or adobe update?

Also, are you seeing this issue with other Addins or just the PdfMaker?

Could you also see if running Word as administrator fixes the issue?

Start menu -> type "Word" -> right click on the "Word" icon and choose "Run as administrator".

You can also check the trust center settings and see if all addins are disabled by default.

File menu -> options -> tryst center -> under "Microsoft Word Trust Center" choose "Trust Center Settings..." -> Add-ins

then make sure that "Disable all applications Add-ins" is not checked.
