Adobe save locations on Android

Question

Acrobat Reader is so hard to use on Android for some reason.

I have a load of PDF documents that I can edit from my pc saved onto One Drive without a problem. But when I edit them in Adobe Reader on my Chromebook and it comes to save the edited file, rather than overwriting the original file, it saves a copy to a location I cannot find using Android's file browser. It seems to save a copy within Adobe itself - I can only see stuff within the app (this is without me saving to the cloud).

I don't understand why I can't just open a document, edit it & save that document in the same location rather than have a copy saved only on the app. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hi @Kristen36609293ex2g,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

With the recent changes in file handling that were done within the app, if there is a copy of the file created, it is now saved either on the same folder of the original file or in the downloads folder of the app.

The location now depends on how the UI of the device allows, but these are the locations where the files are saved.

Hope this helps.

Hey! I know this is super old, but has anyone found a solution to this issue? I have the same problem on my Galaxy tablet.
