Word or Excel Addin unloaded
Source: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1555265
refers to Adobe Acrobat DC & Office 2013 only
Problem: Adobe add in does not load on startup but can be added manually. Also if you run as admin the add in loads on start up but not current user.
Solutions:
1. Add user to local admin group
2. Reboot
3. Open Regedit
4. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin
5. You can solve this problem by editing the "LoadBehavior" registry entry. The value needs to be 3 (load at startup).
the Add-In was loading when I ran as the administrator but not when I just opened a Word doc. I checked this same registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and it was set to 3. I am guessing that is why it worked when run as administrator. For some reason the LoadBehavior key had been revised to 0 on my HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key.
