Converting Word doc to pdf, error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I am simply running an action that converts a Word 2010 doc into a pdf.  The Word doc is closed.  This is performed within Adobe Pro  The directory to look in has been set.  The directory to save in has been set, and is different.

 

The error message pops up after I run the action.  If I click the OK button, the 'save pdf file as' box pops up, with the default save directory (not the same as the above two) selected.

If I click Save, accepting the meaningless file name (ADPD5A5.pdf in this case) the problem goes away.  If I chose cancel, the problem also goes away.

 

I don't want to save this pdf as anything other than what is set up in the action.  How do I stop this from happening?

I've unchecked 'prompt for Adobe pdf file name' within the Word Adobe preferences, but to no success.

 

I will ultimately be converting scores of docs into pdfs, and cannot have to interfere with each one.

This used to work fine in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
