How to Request Features for the Adobe Acrobat Mobile App
Question details
The user needs to submit a feature request to Adobe because specific functions, such as inserting images into blank PDF forms on the Acrobat mobile app, are either incomplete or unavailable.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Mobile App
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to insert an image into a blank area of a PDF document on a mobile device and wanting to report the feature's absence.
- Observed behavior
- The image insertion tool does not work on blank PDF areas or image fields from scratch, only appearing when an existing image is selected. Additionally, the feature is locked behind an active Acrobat Pro subscription.
Ensure you have an active Adobe Acrobat Pro DC subscription and are logged in with the corresponding Adobe ID, as advanced mobile editing features are disabled for free accounts.
Submit Feedback via Adobe UserVoice or Wishform
Use official Adobe channels to request missing functionalities, such as the ability to insert images into blank PDF areas directly from the mobile app.
Adobe relies on direct user feedback through its UserVoice platform and dedicated request forms to prioritize updates and address feature limitations in future mobile app releases.
Navigate to acrobat.uservoice.com or access the official Adobe Wishform (adobe.com/products/wishform.html) using your mobile or desktop web browser.
Specify your mobile device model, operating system (e.g., Android or iOS), and the exact version of the Acrobat mobile app you are running.
Clearly explain the limitation. For example, mention that the 'Add from Photos' submenu does not appear when tapping a blank area of a PDF, and request that image insertion from scratch be supported.
Workaround for Inserting Images in Acrobat Mobile
If you urgently need to insert an image but encounter the blank document limitation, follow this method to force the image insertion submenu to appear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I insert images into a blank PDF in the Acrobat mobile app?
The Acrobat mobile app currently has a limitation where the 'Add from Photos' and 'Add from Camera' submenus only appear if you select an existing image in the document first. Tapping a blank area fails to trigger the image insertion menu.
Do I need a paid subscription to add photos to a PDF on my phone?
Yes, to unlock editing features such as adding or replacing images in the Adobe Acrobat mobile app, you must have an active Adobe Acrobat Pro DC subscription and be signed in with the associated Adobe ID.
What details should I include when requesting an app feature from Adobe?
When submitting a feature request via Adobe UserVoice or the Wishform, you should always include your device model, operating system, the exact version of the Acrobat app, and clear step-by-step details about the issue or missing function.
