How to Request a Refund for Unauthorized Acrobat Charges on Samsung Galaxy Store
Question details
The user is seeking a refund for unexpected monthly Adobe Acrobat subscription charges billed through the Samsung Galaxy Store.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat / Samsung Galaxy Store
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user discovered a £7.99 monthly charge for an Acrobat trial they did not intentionally start, which was billed via Samsung.
- Observed behavior
- The subscription remained active and automatically charged the user's account through the Samsung billing system until manually canceled.
Ensure you have access to the Samsung account used on your device and have your Galaxy Store billing receipts ready before contacting support.
Contact Samsung Support for Billing Refunds
Since the subscription was purchased and managed through the Samsung Galaxy Store, all refund requests must be routed directly through Samsung's billing department.
Adobe does not have access to transactions processed by third-party storefronts. Therefore, canceling the subscription prevents future charges, but refunding past unauthorized charges requires Samsung's intervention.
Open the Galaxy Store app on your device, navigate to 'Menu', and select 'Subscriptions' to ensure the Adobe Acrobat subscription is marked as canceled.
In the Galaxy Store Menu, go to 'Receipts' to find the specific £7.99 Acrobat charges. Note the transaction dates and order numbers.
Contact Samsung Customer Support via the 'Help' or 'Contact Us' section within the Galaxy Store app, explaining that the charges were from an unauthorized trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't Adobe refund my Galaxy Store purchase directly?
When you purchase a subscription through a third-party platform like the Samsung Galaxy Store, that platform acts as the merchant of record. They manage the billing, transaction routing, and your payment details, meaning Adobe does not have the system access required to issue a refund.
How do I check if my Acrobat subscription is fully canceled?
You can verify your subscription status by opening the Samsung Galaxy Store app, tapping the Menu icon, and selecting 'Subscriptions'. Ensure the Adobe Acrobat entry displays a canceled status so you are not billed in future cycles.
What should I do if Samsung denies my refund request?
If Samsung refuses to refund the unauthorized charge, you can contact your bank or credit card provider to dispute the specific transaction. Be aware that initiating a chargeback should generally be a last resort after attempting a resolution with the merchant.
