- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Mobile
- Device & OS
- Android and iOS
- Scenario
- A user is dissatisfied with Adobe Acrobat pricing or billing and wants to manage their subscription charges and request a refund.
- Observed behavior
- Because the subscription was purchased on a mobile device, the billing and refund processes must be handled through the respective app store (Google Play or Apple App Store) rather than directly through Adobe.

Manage and Refund Adobe Acrobat via Google Play (Android)
If you purchased Acrobat Premium on an Android device, you must handle the cancellation and refund request through your Google Play account.
Google handles all billing for apps purchased through the Google Play Store. You must first cancel the active subscription to prevent future charges before initiating the refund request.
Go to the Google Play Store app on your Android device, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, and select 'Payments & subscriptions'.
Tap 'Subscriptions', locate Adobe Acrobat in your list of active subscriptions, and select 'Cancel subscription' to prevent any future billing.
Open a web browser and go to the official Google Play Support page. Navigate to the 'Request a refund' section and follow the on-screen instructions to submit your claim.

Manage and Refund Adobe Acrobat via Apple App Store (iOS)
For subscriptions purchased on an iPhone or iPad, Apple manages all billing, cancellations, and refunds directly.

- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the installer for your specific operating system.
- 2. Install the Application: Run the downloaded installer and follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
- 3. Start Editing PDFs: Launch WPS Office, open the PDF tab, and load your existing documents to start reading, editing, and annotating immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I request an Adobe Acrobat mobile refund directly from Adobe?
Subscriptions purchased through mobile app stores like Google Play or the Apple App Store are billed and managed entirely by those platforms. Adobe does not process the payments and therefore cannot issue refunds for third-party transactions.
How long does it take to get a refund from Google Play or Apple?
Refund processing times vary depending on the platform and your payment method. Apple typically takes 1-2 days to approve requests and up to 30 days to return funds to a credit card. Google Play usually processes refunds within 3-5 business days.
Will I lose access to Acrobat Premium immediately after canceling?
If you simply cancel the subscription, you will retain access to your Premium features until the end of your current billing cycle. However, if you request a refund and it is granted, your access to Premium features is usually revoked immediately.
What happens if my refund request is denied by the app store?
If Apple or Google denies your refund request based on their terms of service, you will not receive your money back. However, you will keep access to the Adobe Acrobat Premium features until the subscription period you paid for expires.
