How to Fix PDF Stuck on Pending in Adobe Reader Mobile
Question details
The user combined multiple photographed documents into a PDF, but the file processing status has been stuck on pending indefinitely.
- Product
- Adobe Reader Mobile
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Combining 15 photographed documents into a single PDF file to send for legal purposes.
- Observed behavior
- The PDF file creation or sync status remains stuck on pending for over 24 hours without completing.
Verify that your mobile device is connected to a stable and fast Wi-Fi network, as restricted cellular data settings can cause cloud-based document processing to pause indefinitely.
Refresh Account Session and Update the App
Signing out and updating the app forces the background sync engine to restart, clearing any stalled processes.
This method clears temporary communication glitches between your mobile app and the cloud servers, ensuring your PDF processing queue restarts smoothly.
Open the Adobe Reader app settings, ensure any accessible local files are saved, and tap 'Sign Out' from your profile.
Power off your smartphone or tablet completely, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on to clear temporary memory caches.
Open the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), search for Adobe Reader, and install the latest available update.
Launch the newly updated app, sign back into your account, and allow the document queue to refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my mobile PDF app get stuck on pending?
A pending status usually occurs when the app is attempting to upload or process large files over a weak internet connection, or if there is a temporary glitch with the cloud syncing servers.
Will signing out delete my pending PDF documents?
If the documents were only saved in a temporary cloud queue and haven't synced locally, they may be lost. It is always recommended to ensure the original images are still on your device before logging out.
Is there a file size limit when combining photos into a PDF?
Many mobile apps impose a memory limit on background processing. Combining multiple high-resolution photos can exceed this limit and cause the app to hang. Compressing the images beforehand often resolves the issue.
