Frequently Asked Questions
Can Adobe customer support issue a refund for my App Store purchase?
No. When you purchase an Acrobat Premium subscription through the Apple App Store, Apple handles all the billing and payments. Adobe support does not have the authorization or access to process refunds for Apple-managed purchases.
How do I check if my Acrobat subscription is managed by Apple?
You can verify this by opening the Settings app on your iOS device, tapping your name, and selecting 'Subscriptions'. If Acrobat Premium is listed there, your billing is managed entirely by Apple.
What should I do if my refund request is denied by Apple?
If Apple denies your initial refund request via the automated portal, you can appeal the decision by contacting Apple Support directly through their support app or website to explain the unauthorized nature of the charge in more detail.
