- Product
- Adobe Reader
- Device & OS
- iPad
- Scenario
- Attempting to log in to the Adobe Reader app on an iPad to access PDF documents and account features.
- Observed behavior
- The Adobe Reader app does not accept the user's login credentials, either returning an invalid username or password error, or failing without displaying any specific error message.
Ensure your iPad is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or cellular network, and double-check that your iPad keyboard is not accidentally capitalizing letters in your password.
Verify Account Credentials on the Adobe Website
Confirm that your user ID and password are correct by testing them on the official Adobe website before trying the app.
Login failures in mobile apps often occur due to incorrect credentials or temporary account locks. Verifying your login on a web browser isolates whether the issue lies with your account or the iPad app itself.
Launch Safari or another web browser on your iPad and navigate to Adobe.com.
Tap the 'Sign In' button on the website and enter your Adobe user ID and password.
If you successfully log in on the website, open the Adobe Reader mobile app on your iPad and carefully enter the exact same verified credentials.
If the app sign-in still fails, note whether the app explicitly states 'invalid username/password' or simply resets the login screen.
Reinstall the Adobe Reader App
Clear app glitches or corrupted cached data by removing and reinstalling Adobe Reader on your iPad.

Why does Adobe Reader on iPad say my password is incorrect when it works online?

Can I use Adobe Reader on an iPad without signing in?
Yes, you can view locally saved PDF files without an Adobe account. However, premium features such as PDF editing, exporting, and accessing cloud storage require you to sign in.
