- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Mobile App
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Launching the mobile application after it has been completely closed.
- Observed behavior
- The application fails to retain the user's login session, requiring manual authentication every time the app is opened.
Ensure that your device has a stable internet connection and that you know your current account credentials before attempting to refresh your session.
Clear App Data and Update Application
Clearing corrupted session data and updating to the latest version is the most common fix for session retention issues.
Login sessions are saved as temporary tokens in your app's cache. If these tokens become corrupted or if there is a bug in the specific app version you are running, the application will fail to recognize your active session.
To report this issue accurately to support, you should also note down your device model and the exact application version.
Open the app, go to Settings or Profile, and check the 'About' section to note your exact application version.
On Android, navigate to Settings > Apps > Adobe Acrobat > Storage, then tap 'Clear Cache'. On iOS, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, select the app, and tap 'Offload App'.
Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, search for the application, and tap 'Update' if a newer version is available.
Launch the application, enter your login credentials, and fully close the app to test if the session is now retained.
Force Stop and Re-authenticate
Manually sign out and force close the app to force the system to generate a brand new login token.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my mobile PDF reader keep logging me out?
This typically occurs due to corrupted application cache, an outdated app version with known bugs, or aggressive background app restrictions on your device that prevent the app from saving the session token properly.

You can usually find the application version by opening the app, tapping on your profile icon or the menu button, and navigating to Settings > About. Alternatively, you can check the app's details in your device's app settings.
Is it possible to use a PDF reader on my phone without signing in?
Yes, many mobile PDF readers, including WPS Office, allow you to view and read documents stored locally on your device without requiring an account. However, premium tools or cloud synchronization features generally require an active login session.
