How to Sync Adobe Acrobat PDF Files from iPhone to Cloud Storage
Question details
The user needs to upload and sync locally stored PDF files from the Adobe Acrobat iPhone app to Acrobat Cloud Storage.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- iPhone
- Scenario
- The user wants to access their local iPhone PDF files across multiple devices by uploading them to the cloud.
- Observed behavior
- Files appear in the Recent list with a phone icon, indicating they are stored locally and not automatically uploaded to Acrobat cloud storage.
Ensure your iPhone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or cellular network and that you are signed into your Adobe Acrobat account.
Upload Individual PDF Files via the Acrobat Mobile App
Use this method to quickly sync specific files directly from your iPhone app to the cloud.
This method is best when you only have a few files to sync. By default, locally saved files feature a phone icon under the file name in the Recent list.
Open the Adobe Acrobat app on your iPhone and navigate to the 'Recent' files list.
Look below the file name. If you see a phone icon, the file is stored locally on your device.
Tap the three-dot menu (...) located to the right of the file name you wish to sync.
Select 'Upload to Acrobat Cloud' from the pop-up menu. The file will begin syncing to your cloud storage.
Batch Upload Multiple PDF Files via Acrobat Web
Ideal for syncing multiple locally stored PDF files at once from your iPhone's internal storage.
Sync Your PDFs Across All Devices with WPS Office
Easily upload, manage, and sync your PDF files from your mobile device to WPS Cloud. Access your documents anywhere, anytime, without manually uploading them one by one.
- 1. Install WPS Office: Download and open the WPS Office app on your iPhone.
- 2. Sign in to activate cloud: Log in to your WPS account to automatically activate your free WPS Cloud storage.
- 3. Enable auto-sync: Go to the 'Me' tab, tap 'WPS Cloud', and enable automatic document synchronization for your local files.
- 4. Save to cloud manually: Alternatively, open any PDF, tap the 'Tools' menu, select 'Save As', and choose 'WPS Cloud' as the destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my PDF files have a phone icon next to them in the app?
The phone icon displayed below a file name in the Acrobat app indicates that the file is stored locally on your iPhone's internal storage and has not yet been synced to the cloud.
Does Acrobat automatically sync all local files to the cloud?
Not always. While some files saved directly to the cloud folder will sync automatically, local files imported from your device often require you to manually select 'Upload to Acrobat Cloud' to initiate the sync.
Can I upload multiple PDFs from my iPhone app at once?
Currently, the Acrobat mobile app only supports uploading individual files via the three-dot menu. To batch upload multiple files from your iPhone, you need to log into the Acrobat web interface through a browser.
Will syncing PDF files to the cloud save my iPhone storage space?
Yes, once the files are successfully synced to Acrobat Cloud, you can safely delete the local copies from your iPhone's internal storage to free up space, while still accessing them online.
