Creative Cloud Desktop requires reinstall every time I start my computer. Why do I have to this? How can I fix this? I am using a Mac Mini with with High Sierra 10.13.6
if you have a subscription for acrobat and still having problems, first try, resetting the cc app: To reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:
Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
if that fails, do a clean cc install:
uninstall every cc app including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
clean

there's probably some program (eg, av, antimalware, cleaner) that's removing some needed part of creative cloud.
in any case, your trial is only going to last a week and you shouldn't have to restart your computer more than once or twice during that time.

I am beyond the trial and paying a monthly fee.
If I cannot make use of the Creative Cloud, what alternative Adobe program will allow me to convert PDF s to Excel or Word without storage feature and lower cost and work more reliably??
The conversion feature is most important to me, and the ability to save the converted file in a xls or doc format in addition to the original PDG file.

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 4 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)
