## Removes the Adobe Acrobat Add-in from Microsoft Office

Each time Adobe Acrobat Pro is installed or updated, an Acrobat Add-in is added to Microsoft Office.

This Add-in relies on external dynamic libraries — which are purposely disabled — resulting in error messages being displayed in the following applications:
- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft Excel
- Microsoft PowerPoint

Please save any open files and quit these applications, then click **Remove** to continue.
