- Device & OS
- iOS / Apple App Store
- Scenario
- Signing up for an Acrobat Premium subscription expecting a 7-day free trial.
- Observed behavior
- The payment method is charged immediately upon starting a monthly subscription, bypassing the 7-day free trial offer.
Check your current subscription status and billing receipt in your Apple ID account settings to confirm whether a monthly or annual billing cycle was selected during checkout.
Verify Subscription Type and Request an Apple App Store Refund
The 7-day free trial is only available for annual subscriptions. If you accidentally chose the monthly plan, you must request a refund directly from Apple.

Open the Settings app on your iOS device, tap your name at the top, and select 'Subscriptions' to check if your Acrobat Premium is on a monthly or annual plan.
Open your web browser, navigate to Apple's official problem reporting website (reportaproblem.apple.com), and log in with your Apple ID.
Tap 'I'd like to' and choose 'Request a refund'. Select 'I didn't mean to buy this' or a similar reason, select the Acrobat Premium subscription from the list, and submit your request.
