Navigate to the profile or settings section of the app and check which email address is currently signed in. If you are not signed in, log in with your primary Adobe ID.
Open Safari, Chrome, or any preferred web browser on your MacBook and navigate to the Adobe Acrobat online portal.
Click the 'Sign In' button and enter the exact same email address and password you verified on your mobile app.
Once logged in, go to the 'Documents' or 'Files' section to access the PDFs you have filled or signed on your phone.
