$120 a month for adobe creative cloud! They've got to be kidding.

Nope, that is one of the many reasons they went cloud based....also that is for only one person to use, cannot log in as someone else on the same PC and use it, but I believe it allows you 3 installs...you...no one else. I was the Adobe Admin for my department, pre-cloud, pre IT take over by another larger office.... after multiple meetings with adobe about all the changes they made...it came down to Adobe telling us....."We don't care, don't like it, don't use it."

Not using Adobe cloud win.

Also a bedtime win.

Goodnight one and all

And the kicker is that if you use some products such as InDesign and want to edit things in the future, they have you by the "short and curlies" because as far as I know no one else supports the format.

Of course you can convert those files to PDFs and start from there but if you have a lot, it's a PITA.

We have CS6 and never plan to install the cloud version.

Anything Creative Suite is proprietary. And even though you can convert a Word doc to a PDF in Word and back again. You cannot convert a PDF to word without Adobe Acrobat

You can, but it is not all that successful, Read IRIS can do it, just not always successfully

The rain has stopped and the sun is out. The humidity is deadly and I can see the grass growing.

There are a lot of converters. That is not the issue. The issue is editing. If you have a PDF, created by Adobe Acrobat, generally, the only way to edit it, or convert it to Word is with Adobe Acrobat.
If you've converted a file to .docx, then you can edit it with a program such as Word. That is, unless the .docx structure is bad due to a program bug.

Convert PDF to Word Online for example converted a pdf to a version I can edit. It has some issues but it is editable. Out of the gazillion others, I'd bet there's a better one.

Yes I know, I was the Adobe Admin, and I have supported Office for many years

The issue is if a PDF was created from Word (docx) to a PDF, using Adobe Acrobat. You cannot use word to change the PDF to a docx. And for many of the substitute PDF makers, you cannot convert the PDF, made by Adobe, back to a Word document. In many cases to properly edit a PDF, created with Adobe Acrobat, you need Adobe Acrobat to edit or convert. In some cases it may be converted by other products, but in many of those, if not all, you lose a lot of formatting and sometimes you end up with a page of gibberish
