Reinstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and Sign In
Since Adobe Export PDF is an online service integrated into Acrobat Reader, you can restore access by downloading the free Reader software and logging into your account.
Adobe Export PDF is not a standalone desktop application. It is a subscription-based service accessed through the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. Reinstalling Reader and authenticating your account will immediately restore your export capabilities.
Visit the official Adobe website and download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Run the downloaded installer file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation on your computer.
Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader. Click on the 'Sign In' button in the top right corner and enter the Adobe ID credentials tied to your Export PDF subscription.
Open a PDF document in Acrobat Reader and click on 'Export PDF' in the right-hand pane to begin using your subscription features.
Access Adobe Export PDF Online via Web Browser
If you do not want to reinstall the desktop software immediately, you can use your Export PDF subscription directly through a web browser.
Export PDFs to Word and Excel Easily with WPS Office
Instead of managing separate software installations and subscriptions just to export PDFs, you can use WPS Office. It features a built-in, highly capable PDF editor that allows you to easily view, edit, and convert PDFs directly into fully compatible Microsoft Office formats without needing additional plugins.
- 1. Download and install WPS Office: Get the free WPS Office suite from the official website and install it on your device.
- 2. Open your PDF file: Launch WPS Office and open the PDF document you wish to convert.
- 3. Select the conversion tool: Navigate to the 'Tools' tab and select 'PDF to Word' or 'PDF to Excel' depending on your needs.
- 4. Export your document: Choose your desired save location and click 'Export' to generate a fully editable document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay again if I reinstall Adobe Export PDF on a new computer?
No, you do not need to pay again. Your Export PDF subscription is tied to your Adobe ID, not a specific computer or installation. Simply download the free Acrobat Reader and sign in to restore your access.
Why isn't my Export PDF subscription working after I reinstalled Acrobat Reader?
This usually happens if you are not signed into the application, or if you signed in using an email address that isn't linked to your active subscription. Click the profile icon in the top right corner to verify your logged-in Adobe ID.
Can I use my Adobe Export PDF subscription on multiple devices?
Yes. Because the service is cloud-based and linked to your Adobe account, you can use the service on multiple computers by signing into Acrobat Reader, or by accessing the online Export PDF portal via a web browser.
