- Product
- Export PDF Services
- Device & OS
- Windows PC, Mac
- Scenario
- Switching primary computers from a Windows environment to a macOS environment while maintaining an active PDF service subscription.

- The user is unsure if they need to cancel their current subscription and purchase a new one specifically for the Mac.

Access Your Export PDF Service via the Cloud Dashboard
Since Export PDF is an online, cloud-based service, your subscription is tied to your account rather than your specific device or operating system.
Because the export service is hosted online, your subscription travels with your account. You do not need to cancel or re-enroll just because you switched from a Windows PC to a Mac.
Launch Safari, Chrome, or your preferred web browser on your new Mac.
Visit the official cloud portal for your Export PDF service (e.g., https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf).
Click the 'Sign In' button and enter the exact email address and password you used to purchase the subscription on your Windows PC.
Once logged in, select the 'Export PDF' tool from your online dashboard to convert your files just as you did before.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my PDF software subscription on multiple computers?
Yes, most modern PDF services tie your subscription to your user account, allowing you to sign in and use the premium features on multiple computers, provided you adhere to the simultaneous login limits of the service provider.
Will my saved PDF files transfer to my new Mac automatically?
If you saved your PDFs to a cloud storage service, they will be available on your Mac once you log in. Locally saved files on your old PC will need to be manually transferred via a USB drive or network file sharing.
Does WPS Office support PDF exporting natively on macOS?
Yes, WPS Office for Mac includes a fully-featured PDF toolkit. You can view, edit, annotate, and export PDF files directly to editable formats like Word and Excel without needing a separate web-based service.
