Tap or click on the 'I'd like to' dropdown menu and choose 'Request a refund'. Next, choose the specific reason why you want a refund and select 'Next'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't Adobe Support cancel my App Store subscription directly?
Adobe does not have access to Apple's App Store billing system. When you purchase an app or subscription through Apple, they act as the reseller and strictly manage all transaction data, meaning Adobe cannot view or modify these charges.
How do I cancel my Adobe subscription if I purchased it directly from Adobe?
If you purchased directly from Adobe's website, sign in to your Adobe account online, navigate to your Plans and Subscriptions, click 'Manage plan', and select 'Cancel your plan'. If you need a refund, you can contact Adobe Support directly.
Will I lose access to Adobe Export PDF immediately if Apple grants a refund?
Yes, typically once Apple approves and processes a refund for a subscription, your premium access is revoked shortly after, as the original purchase is considered voided.
How do I know if my subscription is billed by Apple or Adobe?
You can check your Apple ID Subscriptions list in your device Settings. If Adobe Export PDF appears there, it is billed by Apple. Alternatively, check your email for receipts—receipts from Apple indicate an App Store purchase.
