Question

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
