How to Cancel Adobe Premium Subscription and Change Email Address
Question details
The user needs to cancel an active Adobe Premium subscription tied to an old email address in order to purchase and activate a new membership under their current email address.
- Product
- Adobe Premium
- Device & OS
- Apple iOS
- Scenario
- Switching the email address associated with an active PDF app subscription.
- Observed behavior
- The existing subscription is managed by the device's App Store and cannot be altered or transferred directly from the Adobe interface, preventing the user from using their new email.
Before attempting to cancel, ensure you know the Apple ID or Google Play account that originally managed the Adobe Premium purchase, as mobile app subscriptions are tied to your device's store account.
Cancel the Subscription via Apple App Store
Use your Apple device's settings to cancel the Adobe Premium subscription managed by Apple.
Because the subscription was initiated through your device's App Store, Adobe's customer support cannot cancel it from their end. You must handle the cancellation and any refund requests directly through Apple's subscription management interface.
Go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name (Apple ID) at the top of the screen.
Tap on 'Subscriptions' to view a list of all your active and expired App Store memberships.
Locate 'Adobe Premium' or 'Adobe Acrobat' in the active list, tap it, and select 'Cancel Subscription'. Confirm your choice.
Once the cancellation is processed or the billing cycle expires, open the Adobe app, sign out of the old account, sign in with your new email address, and purchase a new membership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Adobe customer support cancel my App Store subscription directly?
No. If you purchased Adobe Premium through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, Adobe cannot manage or cancel it on their end. You must process the cancellation directly through your device's app store settings.
What happens to my PDF files when I cancel my Adobe Premium subscription?
Your locally saved PDF files remain safely on your device. However, you will lose access to premium editing features and additional cloud storage provided by Adobe once the current billing cycle ends.
Can I simply transfer my current Adobe Premium subscription to a new email address?
Typically, subscriptions linked to a specific App Store account cannot be directly transferred to a different Adobe ID email. You generally need to cancel the current subscription and purchase a new one while logged in with your new email address.
