Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my converted PDF-to-Word files disappear?
They might be saved to your software's default cloud drive instead of your local device. Always check the cloud document portal or modify your software's output settings to save locally.
Can I access my previously converted documents if my subscription expires?
Yes. Generally, you can still view and download files you converted prior to the expiration date by logging into your account's cloud storage dashboard, even if you can no longer convert new files.
Where are my downloaded PDF conversions saved by default?
If downloaded through a web browser, they usually go to your computer's default 'Downloads' folder. If converted via a desktop app, check the app's preferences menu for the default 'Output Folder' path.
