Acrobat Update Breaks Office Save As PDF Button

Acrobat update 17.011.30175 breaks the com add-in for office 2016.  Doing a fresh install of acrobat 2017 without the update the com add-in works as you would expect but upon installation of the update you get the error shown below.

while I don't have a fix for this you can mitigate any issues by users by disabling the add-in in your office applications by going File -> Options -> Add-ins -> select manage COM Add-ins and press go

Then uncheck the offending add-in which is Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM add-in and hit ok

This will remove the Save as PDF option from the file menu, though it doesn't fix the issue users will not encounter the error because the menu option is not available.
