Integration with iCloud notes broken
You cannot create pdf files from iCloud notes. The feature is there but is not functional. The performance of the app suffers greatly if you are using lots of local storage. I had to offload all of my local files because the app lags so badly. Offloading is no easy feat because you have to plug your device into a PC launch iTunes and drag the files to your PC, worse is that you cannot do this efficiently if the files on the iPad are in a folder. Folders cannot be moved from the device to the PC. You have to first move items in the folder to the main/root location of local Acrobat storage in the iPad and then go back to iTunes and drag them to your PC location. The only good thing about this is at least iTunes will tell you which folders are empty. That helps for cleaning up. In the end I had to follow this process to offload my local files and reinstall the app. I wish Adobe would fix the fonts in app. Having to tap multiple times to change from a font size of 20 to 10 is ridiculous. Worse is you have to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU EDIT YOUR FILE!!! Document closes if you switch to another app for a few seconds, this also causes loss of recent changes!Show lessSuperShoeDiva
A must have for you music gear manual library
If you are like me and have a manual for every little single piece of gear you use, Acrobat makes it easy to store them all and keep them handy, as far from you as your phone is at any given time.
Let’s say you are playing a gig and some girl asks you to play their favorite song. You hate the song but the girl is way fine and you want to impress her but the song has an effect on it (the ChickMagnet) that you don’t have dialed up. Well, have no fear! Acrobat is here! Pull out your phone, open acrobat, open the manual for your FloopFX 6000 unit and find the page that has the ChickMagnet. See how you need to set the knobs or menu items, don’t forget to save it, and tell the drummer to quit picking his nose and count the song off. Boom! The girl swoons. You did it! She is so grateful that after the show she decides to go home with the lead singer.
… what, you didn’t actually think you would end up with her, did you?
Adobe Acrobat. The ultimate digital library for storing, editing, saving and sharing virtually everything.Show lessDean Bibb

Most people know, the obvious advantages of Adobe Acrobat: an application-independent method of storage for documents and images; a universal standard method for document transfer as well as storage; and an aesthetically gorgeous way of integrating multi-imaging applications and data tk whatever document platforms you select.
What most users may not recognize is that adobe also provides a platform independent storage modality very inexpensively that allows you to contain almost any materials you would need in your professional or personal life. As time goes on, I become far more appreciative of the ability to be relatively independent from Google, Microsoft, Apple, and other providers, who would fondly wish me to put every thought or image I might have into their hands. Thank you, but no thank you.Show lessJayZ-MIT
Latest acrobat
I love the cloud interoperability between all my devices and it opens most pdfs I download from the internet. I still like the Apple pdf editor interface better and wish adobe was better at separating out the commands used frequently from the more specialized ones. I also have had some bad experiences where it wasn’t clear that it had chosen to scan and interpret text that I thought was coded in the file produced by another app and it was difficult to switch back to the original version without corrupting it.
I have to use this in several situations at work and for grants, and in that context it is very reliable and shows the long experience adobe has with this type of file. Since I’m still a latex newbie I appreciate the security of knowing files run through adobe acrobat will actually print correctly!Show lessdrlmwho
Acrobat is the best
I mean what I said in the subject title. What really bothers me though is that you can’t use all of the functions and less you buy acrobat pro. Most of the functions are necessary, but they are blocked unless you purchase the pro edition, which is crazy because acrobat has always been the number one app when it came to documents, BUT… It also used to be FREE.
I still use the options that I have available to me but like I said, I am upset about the other functions because I need to use those a lot and I have to resort to some other app and change the file type. All of that to be able to even mess with it because God for bid, if you do the wrong thing on Acrobat, when you go to save the document, it says this is a pro function, and you can’t save it unless you pay for Acrobat Pro. so it’s just so time consuming. Why can’t acrobat go back to its old ways? I still give it a 4 because it’s helped me so much in the past and it still does help me today but not like it used to.Show lessNicky the foot

Hi there! Sad to see you're not enjoying the app. 😔 Please reach out to our community of experts at: (adobe.ly/readercommunity) We'd like to investigate what's not working for you and help to get the issues resolved. We're here to help! 🙂 ^VBPremium seems to be a waste
I pay for a Premium subscription yet this app and Adobe Scan continue to identify me as a free user. Whenever I attempt to use Premium features such as “Create PDF” or “Edit PDF” it takes me to a screen and asks me to subscribe. Whenever I choose the subscribe button it informs me I already have a subscription. It then processed indefinitely. I’ve checked for updates of the app. That does not seem to be the issue. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. I’ve logged out and back in several times. I’ve tried to reach out to customer service representative (which does not seem to be an option). I’ve turned to Adobe troubleshooting forums to fix this issue. Attempts to troubleshoot are infuriating to put it lightly and result in no helpful resolution. This seems to be a consistent problem for Premium users as there are numerous posts on a few different threads all posing a similar issue. The options offered don’t seem to be helpful. Some of the posed options under these threads were buying PDF packs, not using Reader and instead downloading Adobe Acrobat Pro on to desktop computer to use features from there, etc. Yet these all do not fix the issue and defeat the purpose of a Premium subscription: why have a Premium subscription for an app when the user cannot use the Premium features using that particular app?

If the issue persists, please contact our community of experts at (adobe.ly/readercommunity). We would love to help you. Thanks! 🙂 ^VBApp does not update my subscription
I’ve had this app for a while now with the PREMIUM subscription. Recently I tried to edit a file sent to me that I tried to fill in and edit(and yes it was sent in a format to fill in the Blanks), but I would not allow me to do so. I then purchased an upgrade and went to the PRO, I did this purchase through my Apple Store and have the purchase confirmation to prove it, yet none of my devices and accounts will update to pro and they all still say PREMIUM. I have already checked for updates and logged out and logged Back in on every device and accounts and still nothing. I waited for over an hr to talk to customer service and they were no help and my problem have yet to get resolved. The app is ok But if I don’t get to access a PRO ACCOUNT, with all the things it comes with then I’ll have no choice but to cancel my account and ask for a refund since I can’t use it. My Laptop is a Chromebook and I have a iPhone 13Max and yet still don’t work on either device. I’m hoping this review gets me the answer and solutions that I need.Show lessKingKae93

Can’t even open the app without logging in. For what reason? I have no interest in cloud storage, using documents from multiple locations, collaborating, anything like that. All I want us to open a PDF when I wish to read it. Either locally or from a website. Why the extra steps required of me? For functionality I will never use? I actually do have an Acrobat sign-in. I simply don’t want to be asked for it every time I try to open the app. Worse yet, I click on a PDF and see gibberish, presumably because I’m not logged in.
So then I did try logging in. With credentials I’ve used before (a gmail account). Now I get a message that social accounts are not supported. Since when is gmail considered “social”? And why is a social account no longer allowed by Adobe?
This app is useless to me.Show lessAnnoyed!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!!!!!!
