Restore Premium Subscription and Verify App Details

Use the iOS restore purchases feature to reactivate your subscription, and check your app version if further troubleshooting is needed.

Often, mobile subscriptions fail to sync properly between the App Store and the application itself. Manually forcing a subscription restore usually resolves this access issue. If it fails, capturing your device and app details will expedite support.

1
Restore Purchases

Open the Acrobat app on your iPhone. Navigate to the subscription or premium settings area and tap 'Restore Purchases'. You may be prompted to authenticate with your Apple ID.

2
Check the App Version

Tap on your 'Profile' icon within Acrobat and select 'About Acrobat'. Write down the current app version displayed on the screen.

3
Record iOS Version

Go to your iPhone's 'Settings' app, tap 'General', and select 'About' to find your exact iOS version.

4
Document the Error

If the sign-in or restore process still fails, take a screenshot or use the iOS screen recording feature to capture the exact error message to share with customer support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my iPhone say my Acrobat subscription is expired when it is active?

This usually happens due to a syncing delay between Apple's App Store servers and the application. Tapping 'Restore Purchases' within the app typically forces a refresh and revalidates your active premium status.

Where can I find my current iOS version to report a bug?

You can find your iOS version by opening your iPhone's 'Settings' app, tapping 'General', and then selecting 'About'. The iOS Version will be listed on that page.

Can I transfer my Acrobat premium subscription from Android to iPhone?

If your subscription was purchased directly through Adobe, you can sign in and use it on any device. However, if it was purchased via the Google Play Store, it is tied to that ecosystem and will not transfer to an Apple device; you would need a separate App Store subscription.
