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.
Access Export PDF through Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
If you prefer using a desktop application, you can access your Export PDF subscription from within the free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC program.
Export and Convert PDFs Instantly with WPS Office
If you cannot access your Adobe subscription or prefer a complete desktop solution, WPS Office provides powerful, built-in PDF tools. You can easily read, edit, and convert PDFs to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats entirely within the lightweight WPS desktop application.
