Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my PDF to Word conversion fail even though I paid?
Conversion failures immediately after purchase are usually caused by order processing delays. It can take 24-48 hours for the server to recognize the payment and activate your premium export features.
Can I speed up the subscription processing time?
Processing times are handled automatically by the billing servers and generally cannot be manually expedited. However, ensuring your payment method cleared successfully can prevent additional delays.
What should I do if my export still fails after 48 hours?
If 48 hours have passed and you still cannot convert PDFs to Word, you should contact customer support. Be sure to provide your account email and the payment confirmation receipt to help them locate your order.
Do I need to sign out and sign back in after purchasing?
Yes, it is highly recommended to sign out of your account and log back in. This forces the application to refresh your account status and fetch your new premium subscription rights.
