I have a Adobe PDF Pack, Annual subscription that expires January 2018. My computer crashed last month and I have had to reinstall my apps. I have downloaded the PDF app but every time I try to use it I am just told to upgrade to Pro. Am desperate as I need to convert a PDF urgently

    Hi Dianan,

    I apologize for the inconvenience caused, but I have thoroughly tested the issue at our end on multiple machines, but we did not find anything as the link is directing to the account: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf

    As per my understanding, it seems to be a browser issue i.e. Microsoft browser as you mentioned that you were able to use the services with Firefox.

    I will suggest, try resetting the browser and make sure you don't loose the Bookmarks and saved passwords, or can try reinstalling the Browser.

    Update this discussion in case you need further assistance.

    Regards,

    Anand Sri.

And please do not ask me to follow another link that just takes me back to the forum page - I need an actual link to the person/department that can actually help me!!!

    Hi Dianan,

    I apologize for the inconvenience caused. As I informed you earlier that you have an active subscription to Adobe PDFPack service under the email address you used to sign in on Adobe forums.

    In order to use the service, please log in on https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf with your Adobe Id and password.

    If you have installed the free Acrobat Reader DC, please make sure you are logged in with your Adobe Id and password and can use the Adobe PDFPack services.

    But if you try to Edit any PDF file, you will get a message to upgrade to Acrobat as Edit PDF files service in not available in Acrobat Reader.

    Keep us posted with the results.

    Regards,

    Anand Sri.

    Have given up on this and have now tried to upgrade but every time I try it tells me to contact customer support. The site is so confusing there doesnt actually seem to be an option to do so - just forums.  Please sort out asap

    Hi Dianan,

    As per the description above, you are not able to use the Adobe PDFPack service, Is that correct?

    As per the records, you have an active subscription of Adobe PDFPack, Adobe PDF Pack is a bundle of Adobe Document Cloud services. With it, you can easily create, combine, sign, and send PDF files online. You can also convert PDF files into editable Word or Excel files.

    You cannot edit PDF files with Adobe PDF Pack. You need Acrobat DC to edit PDF files.

    Sign in to Adobe Document Cloud at https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf with your Adobe ID and password, and can use the services.

    You may also download Adobe Reader DC(Free Desktop version) and sign in with your Adobe ID and password to use the service.

    To download Adobe Reader DC: https://acrobat.adobe.com/in/en/acrobat/pdf-reader.html

    Keep us posted with the results.

    Regards,

    Anand Sri.

    Hi and thanks for reply. Unfortunately when I press on either of the links you sent me I am directed straight back to the Forum page! And I dont know what to do from there as nothing seems obvious. Can you just tell me how I can access the features I have paid for.  I have already spent 3 days trying to sort this out.  Surely there must be a direct link? Or is this a way of getting paid customers like myself to upgrade?
