2
Access Profile Settings

Tap the Profile icon located in the top-right corner of the home screen.

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.
