- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Device & OS
- iPad (iOS)
- Scenario
- Attempting to access, edit, and synchronize PDF forms on an iPad using Creative Cloud files.
- Observed behavior
- Creative Cloud files are no longer available directly in the iPad app due to the removal of the Creative Cloud connector.
Ensure you have an active Adobe ID and that your Adobe Acrobat Reader on the iPad is updated to the latest version before migrating your files.
Move Creative Cloud Files to Adobe Document Cloud
Since the Creative Cloud connector was removed, uploading files to Adobe Document Cloud is the official workaround to restore access and sync PDFs across your devices.
Adobe Document Cloud supports full synchronization through Acrobat desktop, mobile, and web applications, allowing you to seamlessly continue your work without the Creative Cloud connector.
Open your Creative Cloud files on a desktop computer or via your web browser to locate the PDF forms you need on your iPad.
Download the required PDF files from your Creative Cloud storage, then log into documentcloud.adobe.com and upload them directly to Adobe Document Cloud.
Open the Adobe Acrobat Reader app on your iPad, navigate to the Document Cloud tab, and sign in to view, edit, and sync your forms.
