Hello,

I am using Adobe Reader on Android. When exploring docs from the app, there are a lot of files "On This Device" downloads folder, but I can't find them via android file manager, tried storage/emulated/0/downloads, also storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.adobe.reader/files/Downloads/ still can't find that docs. These docs also include old files I already deleted. That is why I think these are cache files, but still do not want to delete them, just would like to find where they are stored. Can you help me?

Hi Belimbor,

On Android, if the file appears on the list of PDFs under  "On This Device", then the file is saved on a location on the device.

The applicaiton only help you to view the PDFs, it does not save it in the application.

If you cannot find the file on the device, you may use the application in order to save a copy of that file.

Open the PDF in the application and then either use share option or save it to other location.

Hope the information helps.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Meenakshi

I have the same problem.

It seems to me Adobe have these HIDDEN in a private area which only their stupid app can access, and they use this BROKEN behavior to force you to purchase their cloud services.
