Configure System Settings for Adobe Acrobat on iOS

Change your iOS display settings to enable Dark Mode and manage Adobe Acrobat app notifications from the main device settings.

Adobe Acrobat Reader for iOS integrates with system settings for both its appearance and alert management. You will need to use the native iOS Settings app rather than Acrobat's internal menus to make these changes.

1
Enable Dark Mode

Open the iOS Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap on 'Display & Brightness', and select 'Dark' under the Appearance section. Acrobat will automatically adopt this theme.

2
Manage Notifications

Return to the main iOS Settings menu, scroll down to the list of installed apps, and tap 'Acrobat'. Tap 'Notifications' to toggle alerts on or off and customize banner styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Adobe Acrobat mobile have a built-in Dark Mode independent of iOS settings?

Why am I not receiving any notifications from Adobe Acrobat?

You may have notifications disabled in your device settings. Go to Settings > Acrobat > Notifications on your iOS device and ensure that 'Allow Notifications' is toggled on.

Can I use Dark Mode on the Android version of Adobe Acrobat?

Yes. Similar to the iOS version, the Android version of Acrobat Reader supports Dark Mode by respecting your device's system-wide dark theme settings, which are typically found in Settings > Display.
