Hello,

 

I hope you're doing well, and we apologize for the delayed response and the trouble.

 

Have you tried using the latest version of the app to see if the error still occurs? Does this happen with a specific PDF, or do you encounter the issue when exporting all PDFs? Please update to the latest version by going to Menu > Check for Updates, installing any available updates, restarting your machine, and then trying to export the PDF to Word using Acrobat Reader.

If the issue persists, use the Acrobat Cleaner Tool to remove the app, restart your machine, and then reinstall Acrobat Reader.

 

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Yes, downloaded the latest version. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but neither of those options worked.
