Adobe PDF to Word Conversion

I recently purchased a subscription to Adobe Reader, so I could convert my business files from PDF to Word, and whenever I end up downloading the word file, it changes some of the words.

For example.

I had a file I have to send to the state, and I couldn't figure out how to add signatures through word, so I printed it out, signed it, and date. When it converted to Word, it had changed a lot of the words, and the Date had a whole bunch of random letters and images in its place. Also, I had check boxes that converted into letters instead of remaining check boxes.

The entire reason I bought this was for the conversion to work, so am I going to have to just give up, and cancel the subscription or is there a fix to this?

    Sounds like you are trying to use the ExportPDF online service.

    Ahhh, there is no "subscription" to Adobe Reader.

    Adobe Reader is provided by Adobe as a free download and install for free usage.

    Perhaps you have subscribed to Acrobat XI?

    Or, perhaps to one of Adobe's online subscription services that are under the acrobat.com umbrella.

    Be well...
