How to Fix Unexpected Acrobat Premium Annual Subscription Charge
Question details
The user was unexpectedly charged for a full annual subscription after a 7-day free trial and wishes to get a refund or switch to a monthly plan.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Premium
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user downloaded the mobile app, started a 7-day free trial expecting a monthly continuation, but was billed for a full year upon the trial's expiration.
- Observed behavior
- An annual charge was processed on the eighth day because the free trial was automatically tied to the yearly subscription plan.
Check your bank statement or digital receipt to confirm whether the subscription was billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Request a Refund via Apple App Store or Google Play
Since mobile subscriptions are managed by the respective app stores, you must process your refund request directly with Apple or Google rather than Adobe.
Adobe Acrobat Premium mobile subscriptions are managed entirely through the platform where you downloaded the app. Adobe cannot directly issue refunds for purchases made via third-party app stores like Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Determine if the charge came from Apple (iOS) or Google Play (Android) by checking the email receipt associated with the charge.
If purchased on iOS, visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, tap 'I'd like to request a refund', and choose the Acrobat Premium subscription charge.
If purchased on Android, open the Google Play Store app, navigate to 'Payments & subscriptions', select the Acrobat Premium subscription, and follow the on-screen prompts to request a refund.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was I charged for a full year instead of a month after the trial?
Free trials for this software are often tied directly to the annual subscription plan. If you do not cancel before the 7-day trial ends, the system defaults to billing you for the full year on the 8th day.
Can Adobe directly refund my Acrobat Premium mobile subscription?
No. Subscriptions purchased through a mobile app are handled by the respective app store (Apple App Store or Google Play). You must contact them directly to request and process your refund.
How can I avoid getting charged after a free trial in the future?
To prevent unwanted charges, immediately navigate to your device's subscription management settings (Apple ID or Google Play profile) and cancel the trial right after starting it. You will still retain access for the remaining trial days.
