Verify Your Adobe ID and Re-sign In

Sign out of your current account

Open Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. Click on 'Profile' or the account icon at the top right corner of the window, and select 'Sign Out'.

2
Sign in with the correct Adobe ID

Click 'Sign In' and enter the specific email address that received the Adobe Export PDF order confirmation.

3
Test the Export feature

Open your PDF file and attempt to use the 'Export PDF' tool again to confirm the subscription is now recognized.
