Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Export PDF and PDF Pack?

Export PDF mainly allows converting existing PDF files into editable Word or Excel formats. PDF Pack is a more comprehensive service that includes converting documents like Word to PDF, combining files, and sending documents for signature.

Why does my mobile app ask me to subscribe again?

The app may have lost its connection to your Adobe ID, or you might be logged in with a different email address than the one used for the purchase. Signing out and signing back in with the correct email usually resolves this issue.

Can I restore my mobile PDF subscription purchase?

Yes, within the mobile app's subscription or profile settings, you can often find a 'Restore Purchases' button. Tapping this forces the app to sync with your app store account to recognize valid active subscriptions.
