How to Get an Adobe Acrobat Premium Refund for Apple iTunes Charges
Question details
The user needs to cancel and request a refund for an Adobe Acrobat Premium subscription that was billed through Apple iTunes at a higher-than-expected rate.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Premium
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user was charged AED 137.98 (including foreign transaction fees) via Apple iTunes instead of the advertised AED 59 per month, and wants to reverse the charge.
- Observed behavior
- The payment was processed directly by Apple iTunes, meaning Adobe's billing department cannot directly issue a refund or cancel the subscription.
Ensure you have your Apple ID login credentials and the exact order number or purchase date from your Apple email receipt handy.
Request a Refund through Apple Support
Since the subscription was purchased via Apple iTunes, all refund requests must be processed through Apple's dedicated refund portal rather than Adobe.
Adobe does not have access to billing information for purchases made through the Apple App Store or iTunes. Apple manages these transactions, so you must submit your refund claim directly to them.
Open a web browser and go to reportaproblem.apple.com.
Log in using the Apple ID and password associated with the Adobe Acrobat purchase.
Under 'What can we help you with?', choose 'Request a refund' from the first dropdown menu.
Select the reason for the refund in the second dropdown menu, such as 'I didn't mean to buy this' or 'The price was higher than expected', and click Next.
Select the Adobe Acrobat Premium subscription from your list of purchases and click Submit.
Cancel the Subscription on Your Apple Device
Cancel the active subscription in your Apple settings to prevent being charged in future billing cycles.
Contact Your Bank Regarding Foreign Transaction Fees
Address the additional fees applied to your purchase that caused the price discrepancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't Adobe support refund my iTunes purchase directly?
When you purchase a subscription through an Apple app, Apple handles the transaction and billing directly. Adobe does not have access to your iTunes payment information and therefore cannot issue a refund.
Why was I charged a higher amount than the advertised subscription price?
The price discrepancy is typically caused by local taxes, currency conversion rates, or foreign transaction fees imposed by your bank or credit card issuer when processing an international payment through Apple.
How long does an Apple iTunes refund take to process?
It generally takes Apple up to 48 hours to review your refund request. Once approved, the time it takes for the money to appear in your account depends on your payment method, which can range from a few days to a billing cycle.
Will I lose access to Adobe Acrobat Premium immediately after canceling?
If you only cancel the subscription, you will typically retain access to the premium features until the end of your current billing cycle. However, if Apple grants a full refund, your access to premium features may be revoked immediately.
