How to Fix Photo Conversion Stuck in Acrobat Reader Mobile
Product
Adobe Acrobat Reader Mobile
Device & OS
not provided
Scenario
Attempting to convert a photo into a PDF document using the mobile application's conversion tool.
Observed behavior
The application hangs indefinitely on the 'Converting' status indicator, preventing the creation of the PDF document.
Before you start

Verify that your mobile device has an active and stable internet connection, as the conversion tool relies heavily on cloud-based processing servers to complete the task.

Solution 1Recommended

Cancel the Conversion and Troubleshoot Network Connection

Stop the stalled process manually, verify your network settings, and ensure the application is fully updated before attempting the conversion again.

Acrobat Reader for mobile utilizes Adobe cloud services to facilitate file conversions. If there is a fluctuation in your network connection or a delay in communicating with the Adobe servers, the process will fail to complete and appear stuck.

1
Stop the current conversion

Tap the three-dot menu icon located immediately to the right of the file name that is currently converting, and select the option to stop or cancel the process.

2
Verify your internet connection

Disconnect and reconnect to your Wi-Fi network, or switch to cellular data, to ensure your mobile device has a reliable connection to the internet.

3
Update the application

Navigate to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, search for Acrobat Reader, and install any pending updates to ensure you have the latest bug fixes.

4
Retry the conversion

Open the application, select your photo once more, and initiate the conversion process to see if the cloud service responds correctly.

Cancel the Conversion and Troubleshoot Network Connection
Test with Different Files: If the problem continues after reconnecting, try converting a completely different photo to determine if the issue is specific to a single corrupted image file or a widespread app error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Acrobat Reader Mobile require the internet to convert photos?

Acrobat Reader Mobile offloads complex file conversion tasks to Adobe's cloud servers rather than processing them locally on your device. If your internet connection drops or the servers are busy, the conversion process cannot complete.

Can a corrupted image file cause the app to get stuck?

Yes. If the photo you are trying to convert is corrupted, excessively large, or saved in an unsupported format, the cloud conversion engine may fail to process it properly, leaving the application stuck on the 'Converting' screen.

How do I clear temporary app data to fix conversion glitches?

If you are using an Android device, navigate to Settings > Apps > Acrobat Reader > Storage, and select 'Clear Cache'. For iOS users, you may need to offload the app in iPhone Settings or temporarily uninstall and reinstall it to clear stubborn cached data.
