- Device & OS
- iOS and Android
- Scenario
- Attempting to utilize premium tools within the mobile PDF reader after purchasing a subscription.
- Observed behavior

Sign Out, Restart, and Sign In with the Correct Account
Refreshing the application's connection by logging out and ensuring the correct account credentials are used often resolves subscription sync issues.

Open the Acrobat Reader Mobile app, tap your profile icon, and select the option to sign out of your current account.
Power down your mobile device completely and turn it back on to clear temporary app cache and system glitches.
Relaunch the app and log in carefully using the exact email address or login method (e.g., Apple ID) tied to your premium subscription.
Restore Your App Purchase
Use the built-in restore feature to force the application to check the respective app store for your active subscription status.
Try WPS Office for Your Mobile PDF Needs

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my mobile PDF app say I don't have a subscription after purchasing?
This typically happens if you are signed in with the wrong account, such as using a Google login instead of the Apple ID that was used to make the purchase, or due to a temporary background syncing glitch.
How do I check if my premium subscription is currently active?
You can check your active subscriptions by navigating to your Apple ID account settings on iOS or the Google Play Store subscriptions page on Android to verify the purchase status and expiration date.
Can I use my desktop PDF subscription on my mobile device?
Yes, standard premium or Pro subscriptions typically include mobile features. You simply need to sign into the mobile app using the exact same account credentials associated with your desktop subscription.
What should I do if restoring my purchase doesn't work?
If the 'Restore Purchases' option fails, verify that your device is logged into the correct app store account, check your internet connection, and contact official customer support with a screenshot of the error message for further assistance.
