Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my PDF software asking me to subscribe when I already have an active plan?

This typically occurs if you are logged into a different account than the one used for the purchase, or if the local software cache hasn't synced with the latest server data. Signing out and logging back in usually resolves it.

How do I check if my ExportPDF subscription is actually active?

Log into your account via the official website portal. Navigate to the 'Plans & Products' or 'Subscriptions' section to view the current status, payment history, and expiration date of your license.

Can document security prevent me from using export features?

Yes. Even with an active subscription, if a PDF file is encrypted or has author-restricted permissions, you will not be able to export it or fill in form fields until the required password is provided.
