- Product
- Adobe Document Cloud / Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Device & OS
- Android (Samsung Galaxy Note 8)
- Scenario
- Switching between screens or multitasking on a mobile device while accessing PDF documents in the cloud.
- Observed behavior
- The application fails to retain the active session and repeatedly logs the user out, forcing them to re-enter their Adobe ID and password.
Ensure you have your Adobe ID email and password ready. It is also recommended to connect your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to a stable Wi-Fi network before updating or reinstalling the application.
Update the Mobile Application from the App Store
Updating to the latest version of the application often resolves known bugs and session retention issues.
Frequent logouts are often caused by temporary glitches in older versions of the app. Developers release updates to patch these authentication loop errors.
Navigate to the home screen or app drawer on your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and tap on the Google Play Store icon.
Tap the search bar at the top, type 'Adobe Acrobat Reader' or 'Adobe Document Cloud', and select the official app from the results.
If an 'Update' button is visible next to the app, tap it to download and install the latest version. Once updated, open the app and sign in.
Uninstall and Reinstall the Application
If updating does not resolve the issue, a clean installation will clear any corrupted cache or app data causing the logout loop.
Use WPS Office for Stable PDF Cloud Syncing
If you are tired of frequent app logouts interrupting your workflow, switch to WPS Office. WPS Office offers a highly stable mobile experience with built-in WPS Cloud, ensuring your PDFs and office documents remain securely accessible across all your devices without repetitive sign-ins.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the Google Play Store on your Samsung Galaxy Note 8, search for WPS Office, and tap Install.
- 2. Sign In to WPS Cloud: Open WPS Office, tap on the 'Me' tab at the bottom right, and sign in using your Google, Email, or Facebook account to activate your free cloud storage.
- 3. Upload and Manage PDFs: Tap the '+' icon, select 'Upload', and choose your PDF files to securely back them up to WPS Cloud for uninterrupted cross-device access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my mobile app keep logging me out when I switch screens?
This usually happens due to a bug in how the application manages its background session token. When you switch screens, the app is temporarily suspended; if the app is outdated or has corrupted data, it fails to retrieve your active token upon resuming, prompting you to log in again.
Will I lose my PDF documents if I uninstall the Adobe Document Cloud app?
No, you will not lose your documents. Any files successfully uploaded to Document Cloud are stored on remote servers securely linked to your Adobe ID. Once you reinstall the app and log back in, your cloud files will be fully accessible.
How do I clear the app cache instead of fully uninstalling the app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8?
Go to your device's Settings, tap on 'Apps', scroll down to find the Adobe app, and tap on it. Select 'Storage', then tap 'Clear Cache' at the bottom of the screen. This can sometimes fix session issues without requiring a full reinstall.
