    Hi MayaSanDiego,

    I checked your account; you have an active subscription to ExportPDF. You can access that subscription either via the web interface at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf or via Adobe Reader. Are you opening your PDF files in Reader?

    But to actually edit a PDF, you'll need to use Acrobat (rather than Reader, which doesn't allow for editing PDF files).


    Best,

    Hi mayasandiego,

    To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat Pro or Standard. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.


    Best,

    Thank you. I got a new computer and when I view PDFs now the right pane doesn't show up with options to edit or save as different formats, etc.  I have a year's subscription to Adobe but cannot view where the edits take place in the file.  Can you help me find where the edit button is?

    Thank you.

    Hi Sara,

    I now have Acrobat Pro.  How do I simply change some text in a PDF?

    Thank you,

    Maya


    I had to convert my PDF to a Word doc and then edit, then save as PDF.  Is this the most efficient way?

    Thank you,

    Maya
