How to Change Your Username in Adobe Acrobat on iOS
Question details
The user needs to know how to change the username displayed below their profile photo in the Adobe Acrobat Settings menu on an iOS device.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- iOS
- Scenario
- Updating personal profile information and display name within the mobile PDF application.
- Observed behavior
- The user wants to navigate the settings menu to successfully update and display a new username under their profile photo.
Ensure your Adobe Acrobat app is updated to the latest version on your iOS device and that you have a stable internet connection to sync profile changes with your Adobe account.
Update Username via Adobe Account Settings
Your username in Adobe Acrobat is linked directly to your Adobe ID. You must update your account profile information to change the display name in the iOS app.
Since Adobe Acrobat uses your universal Adobe ID for profile data, you cannot change the username locally just for the app. The changes must be made in the Adobe account settings, which will then reflect across all your Adobe services.
Launch the Adobe Acrobat app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap your profile photo or the profile icon located in the top right corner to open the main menu.
Tap on your currently displayed name or email address at the top of the menu. This action will redirect you to the Adobe Account management portal.
Look for the 'Edit Profile' button or navigate to the personal information section. Update your First Name and Last Name, as these fields combine to create your display username.
Tap 'Save' or 'Done' to apply the changes. Return to the Adobe Acrobat app; your new username should now appear below your profile photo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Adobe display name without changing my login email?
Yes, you can modify your first and last name in the Edit Profile section of your Adobe account settings. This changes your display username in the app without affecting the email address you use to log in.
Why isn't my new username showing up in Adobe Acrobat on iOS?
The app may need time to sync your updated profile data with Adobe's cloud servers. To force a refresh, try signing out of your account within the app's settings and then signing back in.
How do I change the author name for my PDF comments?
The author name attached to your PDF annotations is usually tied to your account profile. If you want a different name just for comments, check the app's Preferences or Settings under the 'Commenting' or 'Author Name' section to specify a unique annotation identity.
