Question

can i still view document after free trial

Hello,

 

Please would somebody be able to assist me.

 

I have downloaded a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro (creating, editing pdfs etc) for 7 days because i need to convert a word document into a pdf (that also has pdfs inside it so its hell to format)

 

I cannot overstate the importance of this document.

I have to upload this pdf to a database today. (TurnitIn)

 

When my free trial expires when i cancel it, will i still be able to view the documents i have created using the free trial? 

i am planning to keep the free Adobe reader appliacation just without the pro stuff.

Is there any way that the document would no longer be viewable after i uploaded it to TurnitIn?

 

Please help me.

 

Many thanks

M.W

Hi @milla_9294,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

If you create the PDF file and save it to your local storage, Acrobat can display the document. 

If you delete, rename, or move the file from its original location, Acrobat cannot access it.

 

At the same time, if you decide to upload the file to your database and delete it from the source location, it will not be viewable from Acrobat unless opened again from the current location.

 

Hope this answers your question.


Regards,
Souvik.

Most computers now have a built in pdf viewer, even microsoft edge has pdf viewing built in.  Alternatively you can save your document as an image or just screen shot it if need be and put the image of on your website as an alternative.  I usually put an image of the front page if multipage and then link that to the .pdf file.
