Click the 'Sign In' button at the top right of the page and log in using the Adobe ID associated with your subscription.
Once logged in, click 'Select a file' to upload your PDF, choose your desired export format (like Word or Excel), and click 'Export to' to process the file.

If you prefer using a desktop application, you can access your Export PDF subscription from within the free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC program.
