Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Acrobat Premium subscription not showing up?
This usually happens if you are logged into a different account than the one used for the purchase, or if the application's local cache has not synced with the subscription server.
How do I know which account has my premium subscription?
Check the email confirmation you received when you originally purchased the subscription. Ensure you use that exact email address to sign into the Acrobat application.
Can I open a PDF statement without an Acrobat subscription?
Yes, basic PDF viewing does not require a premium subscription. If the file is just a standard PDF, you can open it with any free PDF reader like WPS Office.
What should I do if restoring the subscription fails?
If the 'Restore Purchases' option doesn't work, ensure your device's app store (Google Play or Apple App Store) is logged into the identical account used to purchase the subscription.
