I have a Premium subscription through Apple App - I have gone into my subscriptions and confirmed this and the subscription is valid until Oct.

When in Adobe app on my IPad Pro (4th gen) for past few weeks now, it will not recognize my subscription, tells me I need to subscribe, when I click ok, it says already subscribed. When I click restore purchase it says "an error occurred when attempting to restore purchases" sometimes. other times,it says it's associate with another account, which it is not, as I have just confirmed...I have tried turning iPad off and restarting, signing out and then back in multiple times (always using Apple ID). Can you please help me clear this up?

Same issue. The app and acct just won’t align. I bought my subscription on 7/13/26. I’m not paying again. This is complete nonsense. I’m 90+ with a useless $69.99 sub. Amal, the instructions below are no good.

Hi @damicodric@comcast.net

Hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

I have checked your Adobe account using the Adobe ID you use on this community and found that you recently purchased the Acrobat Premium plan. Please try to log out of the application, reboot the device, log in again with the correct Adobe ID, and check.

If it still doesn’t work,

Make sure you are signed in to the app with the same Adobe ID or store account you used to buy Premium.
If the app doesn’t recognize your purchase, go to your profile icon, open Subscriptions (or Manage subscriptions), and tap Restore Purchases.
If you are on an iPhone or iPad, offload the app and reinstall it. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage (or iPad Storage), select Acrobat Reader, tap Offload App, then tap Reinstall App and sign in again.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards

Amal

All.

Go to Settings …. Your name …. Scroll down to Sign in w Apple ID. Click Adobe ….. you’ll see the Apple assigned email address that Apple assigned during your App Store purchase. It’s probably not what you used for an Adobe account. Now, make sure you’re signed out of the Adobe App. Sign back into the App using Continue w Apple. Click Sign in. You should be good. Don’t enter an Adobe account email as your App sign in. Apple used their security email address. Sign in w Apple. It’s just easier.

I had the identical issue with my CNN App. I now sign in using Continue w Apple - both Apps work fine.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well.

Our engineering team is looking into this issue, please try the steps below in the exact same sequence and see if that works:

1. Sign out of your Adobe account in the app completely.
2. Close the app fully (not just minimize it, remove it from your recent apps/app switcher).
3. Reopen the app and sign back in with the same Adobe ID/email you used to subscribe.
4. Click on the profile icon in the app > Subscriptions > "Restore Purchase" (this re-links your existing App Store/Google Play purchase to your Adobe account).
5. Once that's done, check whether the premium features are now unlocked.

Please confirm if this resolves it, or if you're still seeing the free/limited version afterward?

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble you are experiencing.

I have checked the Adobe accoiunt linked with the adobe ID you are using on this community and unable to fins any active plan/subscription. Please make sure you are using the same Email to login to Adobe as the one you used to purchase the subscription from App Store. If they are same and you still experiene this issue, please share the screenshot of the purchase confirmation email you must have got after making the purchase, so we can get this reviewed by our backend team.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well.

This seems to be an Email ID mismatch issue; please make sure that the Email ID used to purchase the AI assistant is the same as the Email ID used to log into the Acrobat Reader mobile app, reboot the device once, and see if that helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @Isabelle38790306drqh

I hope you're doing well, and thank you for reaching out.

I have reviewed the Adobe account linked with the Adobe ID you are using on this community, but I was unable to find any paid subscription associated with it.

If you used a different email address to purchase the subscription, please let us know so we can investigate further. Providing a screenshot of the purchase receipt would also be very helpful.
