- Product

- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Attempting to convert PDFs on an Android device using an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.

Ensure you know the exact Adobe ID and password associated with your newly upgraded Creative Cloud subscription.
Verify Entitlements and Re-sign into Acrobat Reader
Creative Cloud and Acrobat online services may use different entitlement checks. Updating the app and logging in again can refresh your subscription status.
Often, a newly applied Creative Cloud subscription does not automatically sync to mobile applications that were previously authenticated under an older plan, such as the Adobe PDF Pack. Manually refreshing your login state forces the app to verify your new entitlements.
Open the Google Play Store on your Android device and ensure your Adobe Acrobat Reader app is updated to the latest version.
Launch the app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, and select 'Sign Out'.
Sign back in using the specific Adobe ID that is tied to your active Creative Cloud subscription.
Open a document and attempt to use the PDF conversion tool to see if the premium prompt has been removed.
Contact Adobe Support for Plan Verification
If the mobile app still asks for payment, your specific Creative Cloud plan might not include full Acrobat.com online services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Creative Cloud plan not include mobile PDF conversion?
Some entry-level or photography-focused Creative Cloud plans do not include Acrobat Pro or premium Acrobat.com online services, which are strictly required for mobile PDF conversion.
Can I use Adobe PDF Pack and Creative Cloud at the same time?
Upgrading to a comprehensive Creative Cloud plan often overrides standalone subscriptions like the PDF Pack. If your new plan lacks premium PDF features, you may lose access to them.
Is PDF conversion available offline on Android?
No, Adobe Acrobat Reader on Android relies on Acrobat.com online services to convert documents. This requires an active internet connection and a valid subscription.
How do I restore my purchases in the Acrobat Reader app?
Open the Acrobat Reader app, go to Settings, and select 'Restore Purchases'. This prompts the app to securely check your Google Play account or Adobe ID for active, unapplied subscriptions.
