Adobe Acrobat on iPad

Question

Hi all,Recently started using adobe acrobat on my iPad Pro, and generally work off my OneDrive, can anyone shed some light on the following;1. Can I make adobe the default app to open pdf files. I'm not sure what the default pdf app is on the iPad but I have to open files in that first then choose to open in another app.2. When I have the file open in adobe and exit, changes made to the document isn't saved to the source file on OneDrive. To access the updated file I have to open the adobe app go to home and it's there in the list, sometimes with a number appended at the end. I assume it's saved on the adobe cloud?

Hi @Peter269757564hnv @VishnuD @marcus38583285785h,

I went through the entire thread. Thanks for having this discussion in length.

For the first point, iOS does not allow setting up default apps for areas where they have their own native apps.

So, the only option we have there is to use the Share feature and click on "Open in Acrobat" to redirect the file to Acrobat Reader Mobile.

For Second point, we are aware of this issue. The team released a few fixes on the previous versions, but cloud storage like OneDrive and Dropbox change their terms of use from time-to-time and the permissions for overwriting the files get reset, due to which Acrobat Reader Mobile creates an internal copy of the file to save your changes and edits.

That being said, let me check back with the team and get back to you guys if there is a back.

Thanks,
Souvik

Setting Adobe Acrobat as Default PDF AppiOS doesn’t allow setting a default PDF app. Use “Open In” to open PDFs in Adobe Acrobat:Open the PDF.Tap the Share icon.Select “Open in Adobe Acrobat.”2. Saving Changes to OneDriveChanges in Adobe Acrobat might not sync automatically to OneDrive. To ensure they do:Open the PDF from OneDrive in Adobe Acrobat.Make your changes.Save back to OneDrive via the Share icon.This should help keep your files updated. Let me know if you need more assistance!Best regardsMarcus dixon
