Restore Purchases in Acrobat Reader Mobile
Use the built-in restore feature to sync your app with your device's app store and reactivate premium access.
Often, the app loses sync with the respective app store's billing system. Restoring your purchases forces the app to verify your active subscription status with Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Tap the Profile icon located in the top-right corner of the home screen.
Navigate to the 'Subscriptions' section and tap on 'Restore Purchases' to refresh your premium access.
Contact the Appropriate App Store for Billing Support
If you purchased through Apple or Google Play, Adobe cannot manage your billing directly, and you must contact the respective store.
Try WPS Office for Powerful and Reliable PDF Editing

- 3. Open and Edit PDFs: Tap the 'PDF' tab to open your document and instantly access powerful editing, annotation, and conversion tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Acrobat premium subscription active but not working?
You might be signed in with a different account than the one used for the purchase, or the app failed to sync your purchase history with the App Store or Google Play. Using the 'Restore Purchases' button usually fixes this.
Can Adobe refund my mobile subscription if it doesn't work?
If you purchased the subscription via the Apple App Store or Google Play, Adobe cannot issue a refund. You must request the refund directly through Apple or Google's billing support.
How do I check which account I used to buy Acrobat premium?
Search your email inboxes for the original purchase receipt from Adobe, Apple, or Google Play. The email address that received the receipt is the one linked to your active subscription.
