- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Device & OS
- iPhone
- Scenario
- Attempting to compress PDFs or utilize other premium application features on an iPhone after purchasing a subscription.

Restore Purchases in the Acrobat Reader App Settings
Force the application to re-sync with the Apple App Store servers to validate your active subscription.
iOS applications can sometimes lose synchronization with App Store servers, which makes an active subscription appear inactive. Using the built-in 'Restore Purchases' feature securely re-verifies your Apple ID transactions without causing any duplicate charges.
Open the Adobe Acrobat Reader application on your iPhone and ensure you are on the main Home page.
Tap the user profile icon located in the top-right corner of the Home screen to open the app settings.
Scroll through the menu options and select 'Subscriptions'.
Tap on 'Restore Purchases'. Wait a few moments for the app to sync, and then attempt to use the premium PDF compression feature again.

- 2. Access PDF Tools: Tap on the 'Tools' icon at the bottom of the screen and navigate to the 'PDF' tab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my iPhone not recognizing my app subscription?
This usually occurs if the application falls out of sync with Apple's App Store servers, if there is a temporary network glitch, or if you are logged into a different Apple ID than the one used for the purchase.
Will tapping 'Restore Purchases' charge my account again?
No. The 'Restore Purchases' function merely prompts the application to check your Apple ID for previously purchased subscriptions or non-consumable items. You will never be double-billed for using this feature.
What should I do if restoring purchases does not resolve the issue?
If the issue persists, ensure your iOS software is fully updated, verify that your subscription is actively listed in your Apple ID settings, and try uninstalling and reinstalling the app before attempting to restore purchases again.
