How many times have you found yourself staring at a PDF file in Adobe Reader, with text in it that you wrote for a colleague—only to see it appear with countless egregious grammatical errors in the PDF file she made to compile material from your whole department? Haven’t you wanted just to reach into that PDF file and fix the things that need fixing? Adobe Acrobat is certainly an option, but what if you are just using the free Adobe Reader? Can nothing be done? Won’t somebody help?!
[Cue dramatic super-hero music.] Not to fear! Adobe ExportPDF is finally (finally!) here! While you’ve been using the Adobe CreatePDF service to create your PDF files, there have certainly been occasions when you’ve wanted to make some major changes to those files. To that end, we’ve also schemed up a service to help you convert a PDF file into a Word document (.docx). Adobe ExportPDF is a quick and simple way to make an editable file out of any PDF (well, any PDF that doesn’t have security restrictions; if we let you edit secured documents, that just wouldn’t be right).
The service is based on Acrobat X’s capability to export PDF files to Word, so be assured that the quality is top-notch. And at just US$19.99 per year for unlimited conversions, how can you resist? You can sleep easy at night knowing that we’re working on ways to unlock information in PDF files that is of value to you.
Have you tried it yet? What do you think? Let us know by leaving a comment!

is it possible to use it on a MacBook Pro?
I just replied to this question on another ExportPDF post (I think it was yours!), but the answer is: Yes, Adobe ExportPDF can be used on a Mac. The service is web-based, which means you need to use a browser like Safari or Firefox to access the conversion service; there’s nothing to download, so it’s not designed for any particular operating system.
Best,
