- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Reader for iOS
- Device & OS
- iOS
- Scenario
- Opening and managing newly received or downloaded PDF files on an iPhone.
- Observed behavior
- The user needs to configure app settings so that PDFs are directly synced to the cloud instead of consuming local iPhone memory.
Ensure you are signed into your Adobe account within the Acrobat Reader app and have a stable internet connection to facilitate cloud syncing.
Change Default Storage Location for Starred Files
Configure Acrobat's preferences on your iOS device to prioritize Adobe Cloud Storage as the default destination for your starred files.
By modifying the app's preferences, you can instruct Adobe Acrobat to route specific files directly to your cloud storage. This method is highly effective for managing important documents without cluttering your iPhone's local storage.
Launch the Adobe Acrobat app on your iPhone and tap on your Profile icon located on the home screen.
From your profile menu, tap on 'Preferences' to access the application settings.
Scroll down to find and tap on the 'Change starred file location' option.
Choose 'Adobe Cloud Storage' from the list to set it as your preferred location. Going forward, marking a file with a star will sync it directly to your cloud.
Read, Edit, and Auto-Sync PDFs with WPS Office
Looking for an easier way to manage PDFs on your iPhone? WPS Office offers a powerful built-in PDF reader and editor that seamlessly integrates with WPS Cloud, ensuring your documents are securely backed up automatically without taking up local storage space.
- 1. Install WPS Office: Download and launch WPS Office from the iOS App Store.
- 2. Sign In to Cloud: Tap on your profile and log in to activate your free WPS Cloud storage.
- 3. Enable Auto-Sync: Open the cloud settings within the app and toggle on 'Auto Backup' for your PDF documents.
- 4. Manage PDFs Effortlessly: Open any PDF file, and it will be securely synced to your cloud, accessible from any device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does changing the starred file location affect all PDFs?
No, this specific setting changes the default behavior only for files you mark with a star, ensuring your most important documents are uploaded directly to Adobe Cloud Storage.
Why are my PDFs still saving to my iPhone's local storage?
If you are downloading PDFs from a web browser like Safari, the browser may default to saving them to the 'On My iPhone' folder in the Files app. You must actively choose to open them in Acrobat to utilize the app's cloud features.
Can I use this same method on an iPad?
Yes, the Adobe Acrobat Reader app for iPad shares a similar interface. You can adjust the starred file location in the profile preferences just as you would on an iPhone.
