- Device & OS

- Scenario
- Optimizing the mobile PDF reading experience and battery efficiency while adjusting application alert preferences.
- Observed behavior
- The user needs to access iOS system settings to toggle the system-wide dark mode and adjust app-specific notification permissions for Acrobat.

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.
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.
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.

Access Settings via Adobe Acrobat Preferences Shortcut
Use the built-in app shortcut to quickly jump from Acrobat Reader directly to its iOS system settings page.
