I hope someone here knows what to do... apparently I need to convert PDF to word document; however, when I tried to convert in my main drive...it says "can't write it...because it's being used..." or something like that. I had to convert to my secondary drive..and it works...but how do i convert it in primary drive? It was like this with os x yosemite...but el capitan....yeah..it's wack.
 
It sounds like acrobat trying to write a file that is already open or something like that. Try quitting word
 
I had that same issue. As you said, you need to save it to another location or folder and the error goes away. You then have to move the file to the location you want.

It's a bug in either El Capitan or Adobe Acrobat.
