Sign In Across Supported Devices with a Single Adobe ID
Understand how to use your Adobe Export PDF subscription on different computers and tablets using one primary email address.
Adobe Export PDF is an online subscription securely linked to a single Adobe ID. You cannot split the subscription across multiple email addresses. However, you can access the service on multiple devices by logging in with that same Adobe ID.
Individual subscriptions are meant for one user. You can sign in to your Adobe account on supported web browsers, desktop applications, and mobile apps, subject to Adobe's standard device activation and concurrent login limits.
Open the free Adobe Acrobat Reader application on your desktop, or download the mobile app on your tablet.
Click the 'Sign In' button in the top-right corner and enter the exact email address and password associated with your Export PDF purchase.
If you reach the maximum number of activated devices (typically two), Adobe will prompt you to sign out of an active session on another computer or tablet before continuing.

You can change your primary email address by logging into your Adobe Account online, navigating to the 'Account and security' tab, and updating your Adobe ID email. This transfers your subscription access to the new email address.

Yes, you can use the Export PDF service on tablets and smartphones by downloading the free Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, and signing in with your active Adobe ID.
What happens if I exceed the device activation limit?
If you try to sign in on a new device and have reached the maximum allowed activations, Adobe will typically prompt you with a message asking you to sign out of one of your previously activated devices before you can proceed.
