After you download Acrobat Reader, you need to confirm you are actually using it and not the default PDF reader that comes installed on your phone.

Hi @best5FD2 

You have copied and pasted from an earlier reply and have added a spam link, which has been removed.

Hi @Darcy5C9C 

If you are downloading a PDF, your iPad will ask you to select the application. Choose Acrobat as shown in the image.

 

 

 

 

If you are opening a file you have already downloaded, launch Acrobat, choose the location and open the file.
