Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel my Acrobat Pro DC subscription early?
If you cancel within 14 days of your initial order, you will receive a full refund. After 14 days, your payment is non-refundable, and you may be subject to an early cancellation fee if you are on an annual plan paid monthly.
Why can't I see the 'Cancel plan' option on my Adobe account?
The cancellation option may be missing if your payment is currently being processed, if you purchased the subscription through a third-party seller (like an app store or reseller), or if there is a block on your account. In these cases, you must contact Adobe Support directly.
What happens to my cloud files after I cancel Adobe Acrobat DC?
After cancellation, your account downgrades to a free membership. Your cloud storage limit will be reduced to 2GB. If you are over this limit, you will not be able to sync new files or edits, so it is highly recommended to download your documents beforehand.
