2. Select Trust Center, then select Trust Center Settings.

3. Select the Protected View tab, then uncheck every box that displays, and select OK to apply the changes, then restart Office.

Turn off "Sandbox Mode" in Adobe

2. Under the Security (Enhanced) tab, make sure that "Enable protected mode at startup", found under Sandbox Protections section, is unchecked.
