Acrobat Export PDF doesn't recognize my current, active subscription

[Ada Felix]

Hi, I have a current Adobe Export PDF subscription, but when I open Adobe Acrobat it says I am on a trial version that will expire in 7 days and I can't figure how to make the software recognize my active subscription. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but to no avail.

... and if this all does not work, your only option is to get in touch with Adobe's customer support.

thank you for your answer. at this point, I will wait a bit to try this solution, as I cannot aford to lose access to this function at this moment, for work reasons, so I'll wait for my PAID "trial period" to expire, in 6 days... I'll let you and the rest of the community know how it went when I eventually do it. 🙂

oh, I forgot to add, I was told by a customer support agent that Adobe is no longer giving support to this product, which sort of baffled me... and, made me think that maybe I should no longer be willing to pay for it.

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

They may not support the actual product, but but as far as I know, licensing and subscription problems should still be handled by customer service.

hi again, I did all the steps suggested on the link above, except for the last one, 'reset host files manually'. then, I moved over to the customer support chat, where a nice agent took over my computer and fixed the problem remotely. apparently, it was as simple as uninstalling/reinstalling Reader DC, and then updating something, sorry I cannot be more specific, as this person did it so quickly I could barely follow it. problem fixed! thanks again for your kind help.

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

I am glad it worked out. My general rule for unhelpful customer service is to just try again and hope that the next CS rep will be more helpful 🙂

[Ada Felix]

I'll make sure never to forget that rule! 😀
