- Scenario
- Attempting to access premium PDF tools on an iPhone or iPad after subscribing to Acrobat Pro.

Sign Out and Sign Back In to Force Synchronization
Refreshing your account session forces the iOS app to reconnect with the server and recognize your active Acrobat Pro subscription.
Account synchronization issues are common on mobile apps, especially if the app was running in the background when the subscription was purchased.
Launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader application on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap the profile icon located in the top-right corner of the screen to view your account details.
Scroll down to the bottom of the profile menu and tap 'Sign Out' to remove your current session.
Tap 'Sign In' and enter the exact Adobe ID and password tied to your Acrobat Pro subscription. Wait a few moments for the app to sync.
Verify Subscription Status Online
Confirm that your Acrobat Pro subscription is active and correctly linked to the Adobe ID you are using.
