"Just one guess as to what is happening. Are you saying that you have Word documents but Adobe Reader is overriding Word and opening those Word documents?"
"yes"
That clarifies a lot that the original post didn't.
Adobe's online servces and the subscription fee aren't the problem at all, and should not have been the focus of the post.
Windows has, as it will often do, changed a file association on install of new software. The solution is not only simple but free.
Right click ANY word document (.docx) on your computer and select "Properties". Under the General tab, there is an "opens with" section and that likely reads Adobe Reader along with a "Change" button. Click it, and change the default app to Word. Then click "Apply" to change it for ALL .docx files. Click Ok and double click a word document. It will open in Word again.

  • How can I get the PDF to retain margins set in Word document?

    Uploaded a Word 2003 document for conversion. Conversion to PDF successful, but the PDF has different margins and page breaks. How do I get the PDF to retain the set margins?

    Hi NancyS,
    If you're on Windows, you can try using the PDF Desktop printer to "print" your document to PDF format. Here are the instructions for installing and setting up the PDF Desktop printer: Install and configure Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.
    Please let us know if you have better luck using the PDF Desktop Printer.

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

  • I can't get the middle handles on iBooks Author pop-over widgets to work.

    I can't get the middle handles on iBooks Author pop-over widgets to work. Dragging the middle handles should resize the pop-over widget size either vertically or horizontally, but instead they resize the pop-over widget in all directions, as if I'd used the corner handles. I'm talking only about the widget image with the mountains on it, not its contents. I should be able to make a long, thin pop-over, for example. iMac running Mavericks.

    The brush tool usually applies a calligraphy brush automatically, but this type of brush is not supported by variable width profiles

    On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect that box then restart your iMac.

  • How can I get the pdf viewer to scroll correctly

    Over the last few days I have got a new problem with the pdf viewer. When I scroll down to a new page, the old page stop scrolling, so that the new page covers the bottom of the old page. Thus, can't read from the end of one page to the start of the next.

    Try the latest development version of the PDF Viewer (pdfjs) as a Firefox extension:

  • How do I access the End User Licensing Agreement? I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I need to launch Adobe Reader, accept and close and reopen. Trouble is I can't get to an icon for file to launch. I am working on a Mac and have installed Mac

    I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!

    How about in your Applications folder?

  • I can not get the imessage app on my iPad. But I don't want to restore and loose everything I have.

    My iPad will not let my get imessage it's not in my settings or home page.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • I'm trying to log into a public network and while the fan blade shows I have a connection I can not get the user agreement to load in Safari. This was working until yesterday, what changed?

    I've reset my network settings. I've cleared cache and cookies in the browser. Before yesterday the login screen would appear anytime I attempted to use an app or program that required internet access. Pretty much every program. Now I have a brick tablet at work. I've reset everything I can find. I'm at a dead end. 
    I've seen other ipads that had the auto login togle and auto join togle under network selection, my ipad does not have those options. Logging in at home is working fine on my private network. This public network is not being reset or forgotten when I choose "forget network" or Safari is blocking the login page and I don't know how to un block it.

    Well, when I join a public wifi, a log in page displays a few seconds later, displaying the user agreement. But, earlier today, I was trying to connect my friend's 3GS to a public wifi, and it did not show up. So. I don't really know what happen. I think you should toggle the auto Join to on.

  • How can I get the serial number for CS6 - I did not register it on my adobe account and I don't have the invoice/email from Aug 2012 nor the box anymore. I need the number to move software to a new computer.

    I am trying to move Indesign CS6 to a new computer.
    To do this I need the serial number of the license.
    It seems I did not register the number on my Adobe account as nothing is there.
    I bought the software in August 2012 - and no longer have the invoice.
    i think we got the software by box but am not sure.
    Please help!

    Hello Karen,
    in this case you should search for Adobe's staff members by writing a personal message. They can often help better than we, we the users like you. Please have a look in the forum to persons with this icon under their avatar:

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,
    André
