Often, what looks like a double charge is actually two separate subscriptions (such as Acrobat Pro DC and Adobe Sign Monthly) active under the same Adobe ID.
Go to Adobe.com and log in using the Adobe ID associated with the charges.
Click on your profile icon and select 'Account', then go to 'Plans and Products'.
Check the list of active subscriptions. You may find two separate plans causing the two charges.
If one of the plans is unexpected or unwanted, contact Adobe Support directly through their help center to request clarification, cancellation, or a potential refund.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund if I was accidentally subscribed to two Adobe plans?
Refund policies depend on Adobe's terms of service. Generally, if you cancel within 14 days of the initial order, you may get a full refund. You must contact Adobe Support directly to explain the accidental double subscription and request a refund.
Why do I have an Adobe charge when I only use the free Acrobat Reader?
You might have accidentally signed up for a premium trial (like Acrobat Pro) that converted into a paid subscription, or purchased an add-on service like Adobe Export PDF. Check your 'Plans and Products' page to verify.
How do I cancel an unwanted Adobe subscription?
Log in to your Adobe account, navigate to 'Plans and Products', select 'Manage plan' for the subscription you want to remove, and choose 'Cancel your plan'. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the cancellation.
