Stop converting word to pdf

[Jean5CD6]

Why dose Adobe change all my word document to pdf. How do I stop this please

There is absolutely nothing that Adobe (and I assume you mean the Acrobat Reader Mobile or any other Adobe software installed on your mobile device) does to automatically convert Word documents to PDF files.

I'm having the same issue.  A Word doc sent via email keeps downloading as Adobe Acrobat.  Super frustrating.  I did find a workaround:

Hi @JResk,

Hope you are doing well.

The issue that you are referring to, has nothing to do with Adobe but just the fact that the default application to open Word files on your system has been selected as Acrobat Reader.

What you can do is, right click on the file-> click on properties-> click change on the button where it says "Opens With"-> select Microsoft word-> click Apply-> Click OK. 

This should work for all the word files available on your system.

Hope this helps.

Hi @EMP53,

Sorry for your experience.

It looks like an issue where the default applicaiton to open Word files is switched to Acrobat. 

Please try the steps shared above (if on Windows) or check the below link:
