Open your web browser and go to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Log in using the Adobe ID and password linked to your active Export PDF subscription.
From the list of available online services, click on the 'Export PDF' tool.
Upload the PDF you want to convert, choose 'Word' as your desired export format, and proceed with the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Acrobat DC asking me to subscribe when I already paid for Export PDF?
Acrobat DC and Export PDF are separate services. If you installed the Acrobat DC trial, its prompts may override your Export PDF access on the desktop app. Using the web interface bypasses this conflict.
Can I use Export PDF on my desktop instead of the web browser?
Yes, but you must ensure you are signed in to the free Adobe Acrobat Reader application with your Export PDF-linked Adobe ID, rather than using the full Acrobat Pro DC application.
Does Adobe Export PDF support exporting to formats other than Word?
Yes, alongside Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), Adobe Export PDF allows you to convert PDFs into Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx) and Rich Text Format (.rtf).
