Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Adobe Acrobat premium subscription not showing up on my phone?

This usually happens if you are signed in with a different email address than the one used for the purchase, or if the app's cache has desynced from Adobe's subscription servers.

How do I verify which email is linked to my Acrobat subscription?

Check your email inboxes for subscription confirmation receipts from Adobe or your app store. You can also log into your Adobe account via a web browser to view your active plans and the linked email address.

What should I do if the 'Restore Purchases' button doesn't work?

If restoring purchases fails, capture a screenshot of any error messages and contact Adobe Support directly, as there may be a billing issue on the backend that requires manual intervention.
