It looks like there is a bug in word 2016. There is a KB according to the adobe site. See link below for further information.

PDF Maker from Adobe 9 is way to old for Office 2016. You need a much newer version of Adobe for that.

If you are using Adobe as a Printer only, try reinstalling the Printer Driver.

I suggest, however, you upgrade Adobe.

As Experienced Member stated that version is way to old. You need to upgrade to the latest Adobe. You will find that in the link I posted as well.
