Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I forget to cancel my Acrobat free trial on time?

If you do not cancel before the 7-day free trial expires, your Apple Account will automatically be charged for the yearly or monthly subscription fee associated with the plan you selected.

Can I still use Acrobat after canceling my subscription?

Yes, if you cancel a free trial or active subscription, you can continue to use the premium features until the end of your current billing cycle or the remainder of the trial period.

Why don't I see my Adobe Acrobat subscription in my Apple settings?

If the subscription doesn't appear in your Apple settings, it was likely purchased directly through Adobe's website or a different platform. In this case, you must log in to your Adobe account online via a web browser to manage and cancel the subscription.
