Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't Google Drive showing up in my Adobe Acrobat share options?

Google Drive may not appear if the app is not installed on your device, if you have not logged into your Google account, or if your device's sharing permissions are restricting it from appearing in the system share sheet.

Can I automatically sync all my PDFs from Adobe Reader to Google Drive?

Adobe Acrobat Reader does not automatically sync all local files to Google Drive. You need to manually share or save copies of individual PDFs, or link your Google Drive account within the Adobe app's 'Locations' menu to save directly to the cloud.

How do I attach a PDF to an email after saving it to Google Drive?

Open your email app, compose a new message, tap the attachment (paperclip) icon, select 'Insert from Drive' or browse your files, and choose the PDF you just saved to your Google Drive.
