"error while trying to access the service"

I am trying to convert a pdf file to an excel file.  I get a completely unhelpful message that says  "error while trying to access the service" .
What does this mean and how do i fix it?

Hi sd433m,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums. If you are already subscribed to the service, kindly try the steps mentioned below.
1) Open Adobe Reader  Edit>preferences
2) Go to Adobe Online services>change the email address to the one you have subscribed the service with
3) Go to identity> change the email address there as well
4) Click OK
5) Restart the Adobe Reader and try to access the service again.
If you have not subscribed to the service please do that as, we do not offer trial for Create PDF.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

  • An error occurred while trying to access the service?

    I'm trying to convert a PDF into Excel but I get the message 'an error occurred while trying to access the service'.
    I have tried logging into my Adobe account online and doing it within there, but once I have exported the file and pressed 'convert' it simply says 'conversion failure' with no explanation.
    My subscription is still valid, so I don't see why the problems?  Has anyone else had this issue and managed to fix it?  I get the error message regardless of whether I'm trying to convert to Word or Excel.
    Any ideas greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks

    Hi SHurcs,
    I'm sorry that you're having such trouble with your ExportPDF subscription. Does this error occur for one particular file, or with any file that you try to convert? What operating system and browser are you using?
    To get us started, here are a few things that you can try:
    In Reader, sign out, and then sign back in.
    Use a supported web browser:  http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
    Clear the browser cache.
    If you're using a networked computer, make sure that there are no firewall/proxy settings that prevent you from uploading files to the Internet.
    Make sure that the files you're trying to convert are within the file-size limits for ExportPDF (100 MB).
    If the problem persists, please let us know, and tell us a bit more about the files that you're converting.
    Best,
    Sara

  • An error occured while trying to access the service

    i'm continually having issues with trying to convert my files from PDF to excel.  I keep on getting the error message "An error occured while trying to access the service" with no real explanation as to what is wrong.  I've tried several times on several different computers, logging on and off, changing users...same message everytime.  I have a time sensitive project to complete, and can't get it done if this conversion can't be done.  HELP!

    Hi J,

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

  • I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file from PDF or to PDF, I get the message "An error occured while trying to access the service.  What do I need to do to access the service paid for?

    I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service".  What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

    Hi DeaconTomColorado,
    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

    Adobe Reader is free; but you may have paid for the ExportPDF service.

  • Receive error message "An error occurred while trying to access the service" when I try to convert a file?

    When I attempt to convert a file, either to PDF or from PDF I receive the error message "An error occurred while trying to access the service" what can I do to resolve?  I already applied updates and attempted to fix?

    You could always sign into Acrobat.com directly and use the service through the web site if it's a critical need.

  • ExportPDF - "an error occurred while trying to access the service"

    I have never had a problem using ExportPDF in the past but recently I am getting an error message saying "an error occurred while trying to access the service".  I am using the same browser, Chrome, that I have always used.  Please tell me how to fix this.

    Hi billbeaton,
    Please log out, clear the browser cache, and then reload https://cloud.acrobat.com. If that doesn't work, please try logging in using a different web browser (simply as a test).
    Has anything changed on your system since you were last able to log in to Acrobat.com? Are you using Mac OS or Windows?

    That'd be associated with trying to connect to the server(s) for one of the Adobe online subscription services.

    These online services are separate and independent of the desktop application Acrobat.
    It appears that you have had / are having internet connection issues.
