Locate the Language menu within your profile settings and choose your preferred language for the Acrobat.com interface.
When you are ready to convert files using ExportPDF, look for the 'Document Language' menu in the conversion options and select the appropriate language for the specific document you are converting.
Use WPS PDF to Convert Documents Accurately

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to cancel my Adobe subscription to change my language region?
No, you do not need to cancel or resubscribe. You can change your display and conversion language directly from the 'My Information' section of your Acrobat.com profile at any time.
Why is my ExportPDF conversion outputting garbled text?
This often happens if the Document Language setting does not match the actual text in your PDF. Ensure you select the correct source language from the Document Language menu before starting the conversion so the OCR engine can accurately process the characters.
Can I change the Acrobat interface language on the desktop app the same way?
The steps provided are specific to the Acrobat.com cloud interface. For the desktop application, you typically need to go to Edit > Preferences > Language (on Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (on Mac) to adjust your application-level language settings.
