Frustratingly, Acrobat has been crashing on my iPad. Upon reboot, I have been finding that I have lost an hour's worth of notations. Is there any way to increase the frequency of autosave? It's driving me crazy. I have to go back and re-read all this Freud now and reading Freud is the worst. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there,

 

Hope you are doing well and I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing with Acrobat on your iPad.

 

Currently, Acrobat on mobile doesn’t provide an option to manually adjust the autosave frequency. The app is designed to save changes automatically, but if the app crashes before syncing or saving completes, recent edits can unfortunately be lost.


A couple of suggestions that may help:

1. Force Sync More Often: After making a set of edits, tap the back arrow to return to the file list. This prompts Acrobat to sync your changes.

 

2. Update the App: Make sure you’re running the latest version of Acrobat from the App Store, as frequent crashes are often addressed in updates.

 

3. Restart Before Long Sessions: Restarting your iPad before working on long annotation sessions can clear memory and reduce app crashes.
