I scan my documents, they become a PDF, when I try to convert to word or excel I receive a "conversion failure" message. Only once have I been able to successfully convert a document.

Hi Joannen,

Where exactly you are getting the error message? Is it online via web browser https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf  or using desktop application Adobe Reader DC?

If you are getting error online then you may use the desktop application Adobe Reader DC https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and let us know if this makes any difference.

Also, you may check with a different web browser or if you are using any internet security software then turn it off for a while.

Thank you!

I think I figured it out - I was trying to convert while in the free adobe reader screen - once I logged into adobe, I had no problem at all.
