Fix Adobe Acrobat Share Icon Not Working on Samsung Galaxy
Question details
The user is unable to share PDF documents because the Share icon within the Adobe Acrobat mobile application is unresponsive.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- Android (Samsung Galaxy)
- Scenario
- Attempting to share a PDF file with others directly from the Adobe Acrobat app on a mobile device.
- Observed behavior
- Tapping the Share icon produces no action or menu. The issue persists even after reinstalling the application and rebooting the device.
Ensure your Samsung Galaxy device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and that you have your Google Play Store account credentials ready to check for software updates.
Update Adobe Acrobat to the Latest Version
Software bugs causing unresponsive buttons are frequently patched in newer app releases. Updating the app to version 24.12.2.36855 or later is highly recommended.
Adobe frequently releases updates to resolve UI glitches and compatibility issues on Android devices. Since a fresh installation might still download a cached or older version depending on the store state, manually verifying the version number through the Google Play Store is crucial.
Unlock your Samsung Galaxy and launch the Google Play Store application from your home screen or app drawer.
Type 'Adobe Acrobat' in the search bar at the top and select the official application from the search results.
If an 'Update' button is available, tap it to install the latest version. Verify that it is updating to version 24.12.2.36855 or newer.
Open the newly updated app, load a PDF file, and tap the Share icon to see if the sharing menu now responds correctly.
Provide Diagnostic Information to Support
If updating does not resolve the issue, supplying a screen recording and your exact OS version will help the support team investigate further.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do buttons become unresponsive in Android PDF apps?
App buttons typically become unresponsive due to software bugs in specific app versions, temporary conflicts with the device's operating system, or memory glitches. Updating the app is the most common fix.
How can I share a PDF without using a PDF reader app?
You can share PDFs directly from your Samsung Galaxy's built-in file manager. Open 'My Files', locate the PDF in your Documents or Downloads folder, long-press the file, and select 'Share' from the bottom menu.
