Since I bought Adobe Export PDF, all my Word.docx Documents get turned into Pdf Docs. How can I deactivate the supposed "turn Word docs automatically into Pdfs"?

Need urgent help, as I have to toil with WORD Docs, i.e., write, eliminate, correct, copy, paste etc. etc. which is NOT any more posible once the doc is turned into a PDF doc.

Thank you very much beforehand

Hi ursulad8079040,

Files won't automatically get exported unless you export them.

Please check if all the icons (files & folders) have been converted to PDF & nothing happens when you double click on the file?

If yes, please refer to this KB doc. Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon‌.

Else, please elaborate your issue.

Regards,

Aadesh

Hi aadeshs76610910,

thank you for your prompt reply.

The link you provided only spoke of Windows7.

My PC runs on Windows 8.1.

I did NOT click onto any option to generate the Adobe docs., they were automatically generated, which was more annoying.

Anyhow did I solve the problema quite easily: This is what I did and I'll write it down so as to be able to help others with the same problema..

HOW TO TURN AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED ADOBE DOCS AGAIN INTO WORD DOCX

1- Right-click onto an automatically Adobe-generated Word Doc.docx

2- Click onto PROPERTIES-

3- There you read:  FILE TYP: Microsoft Word Document (.docx)

     IT OPENS WITH  [  A    ] (It is here where you see the Acrobat icon)  

4-  Click onto the   CHANGE  option,

5- Click onto the  MICROSOFT WORD icon

--> and all your documents become again MS Word Docx

6- Click onto  APPLY

7- Click onto ACCEPT

and DEAL DONE!

Best regards and thanks
