Question

reader xi does not work

I just bought Adobe Reader XI (or-not sure "Adobe ExportPDF Annual") January 21, 2015 to allow me to convert PDF's to "Word" and "Excel". 

Several times I have tried to convert a PDF to Word or XL, and failed EVERY TIME.

A week ago about 2/5/15, I got the following error message when trying to convert:

"ACROMISSINGCOMPWCLASS:ACRORD32.EXE - APPLICATION ERROR

THE EXCEPTION UNKNOWN SOFTWARE EXCEPTION (0X40000015)

OCCURRED IN THE APPLICATION AT LOCATION 0X01D2F57.

CLICK ON OK TO TERMINATE THE PROGRAM"

 

OK

This message occurred several times.  During one of those times, my attempts

to follow Adobe's suggested corrections to the problem, made me consider

changing Adobe Reader XI "compatibility" to my OS Windows 7.

My attempts at that also failed.

I hope someone can enable my Adobe Reader XI to work ok.

His suggestion is: "Try to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader

No help.

No help.
 
At one point your online "help" site suggested ensuring "activation". 
I tried but could not find how to do it.
   
There are other examples, but essentially I am unable to get your program to work.

Hi andy2850m,

I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time converting files with ExportPDF. I think the issue is more with Reader, than with the service. But we definitely need to get Reader working for you.

For starters, you can access ExportPDF using a web browser: Just log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com with your Adobe ID and password.

As for Reader, if you haven't already, I would remove it, run the Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs, and then download and install Reader from this page: Adobe Reader Install for all versions. When you install, make sure that antivirus software is disabled, and then you're logged in as an administrator.

Please let us know how it goes.


Best,

Sara

Hello Sara,

I did not want to bother you this time. But I'm glad you saw my question. I am about ready to give up and cancel my purchase. I'll let you know how things work out following you suggestions.

(I wish you (&me) happiness)
