Hello Lachlan,

Hope you are doing well. I am sorry to hear about your experience with editing PDFs on iPhone or iPad.

Would you mind sharing a few details for us to check on our end:

1. The Acrobat Reader mobile version you are using.

2. The iOS version you are using on your current version.

3. Is it with a particular file or with all the files.

4. Also, can you open the file on a PC, click on File-> Properties and share a screenshot of the pages that you see there.

There could be a possibility that even if there's no password, it could be made read-only.

Thanks,

Souvik.
