Open the Adobe mobile app, navigate to your profile or account settings menu, and select 'Sign Out'.
Power off your phone or tablet completely, wait a few seconds, and turn the device back on.
Launch the Adobe app again, sign in using the exact Adobe ID linked to your PDF Pack purchase, and attempt to create a PDF.

Checking your account status online helps confirm whether the PDF Pack purchase was successfully applied to your Adobe account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Adobe app not recognizing my recent PDF Pack purchase?
This usually happens due to a syncing delay between the mobile app and Adobe's servers. Signing out of the app and signing back in forces it to refresh your current subscription status.
Can I use my purchased PDF Pack on multiple devices?
Yes, the PDF Pack subscription is tied to your Adobe ID rather than a specific device. You can access its features by logging into your account on any supported mobile device or computer.
What if I signed in but still receive the subscription error?
You might have signed in with a different Adobe ID. Ensure you are using the exact email address linked to the purchase receipt. If the ID is correct, logging into Document Cloud via a web browser can help verify if the subscription is active.
