Frequently Asked Questions

Why do cloud converted files fail to download on Ubuntu browsers?

Browser cache conflicts, outdated browser versions, or interfering extensions can prevent web apps like Acrobat Document Cloud from successfully initiating a download on Ubuntu systems.

Can I recover my converted PDF file if the download fails?

Yes, your converted file remains saved securely in your Acrobat Document Cloud account. Once you clear your cache or resolve the browser issue, you can log back in and download it from the 'Files' section at any time.

Does clearing my browser cache delete my downloaded files?

No, clearing the browser cache only removes temporary internet files, cookies, and cached site data. It does not delete any files you have already saved to your local 'Downloads' folder or computer.
