I signed up for a free trail and want to convert a PDF file to word. I am in Adobe Reader and hit Convert and it clocks but I do not have a converted file after it stops. How do I do this?

Hi Nora,
Adobe doesn't offer free trials to its subscriptions. Did you start an Adobe Acrobat trial? If so, make sure that Acrobat is installed, and then open your PDF in Acrobat, rather than Reader. In Acrobat, choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document to save your PDF file as a Word document.
When you try to convert via Adobe Reader, you're actually accessing the ExportPDF online service, which is a subscription offering separate from Acrobat.
Provided you have the Acrobat trial, you can use that to convert your PDF files until the trial expires. Then, if you'd like, you could proceed with either an ExportPDF subscription, or an Acrobat subscription.
Best,
Sara
