integrate adobe acrobat dc with office on MAC

[stanleystf]

Hello all.

In windows, the adobe acrobat dc I've installed has integrated with Microsoft Office. When I create a word or a powerpoint file, it gives me extra options for saving the file as a PDF:

Is it possible to have this kind of integration with Office on MAC? I've found a page which has an add-in that can be installed separately. Is it possible to install that on Mac too?

If that doesn't work, is there a way I can save office files as PDF and restrict editing the file while I'm saving it?

I know I can save a Word file as PDF and then separately restrict editing it, but I'd like to know if it's possible, on MAC, to put restrictions on editing a file when I'm saving it on OFFICE.

I saw your post on Reddit too

As far as I know there is no way to do that exactly the way you like. PDFs have been integrated into macos for decades — more than Windows — however, Office for Windows does have more features than Mac because MS makes Windows and Office.

The only way I know how to restrict a PDF from, say, Word, is to hit CMD-P to print, choose Save As PDF, then add a password and change your security options. That will keep the user from either opening the PDF or copying/printing it. There is no setting to disallow editing. On Mac you'd need the paid version of Acrobat for that. There may be a free-ish app out there that will do that but I'm not currently aware of any.

Sorry.
