Hi u352​,

As the toast message at the bottom indicates, you will not be able to modify an attached PDF document in Acrobat mobile apps for iOS or Android.  This is a limitation in the Acrobat mobile apps.

A workaround is to open an attached PDF document in the desktop version of Acrobat Reader, Standard, or Pro and modify it (e.g. filling out a form, add comments).

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I modified the document on the desktop version, then saved it to the cloud, yet I still get the same message when I open it on the mobile app.

 

Is that the “workaround” that you describe? It doesn’t seem to be working for me when I migrate to the mobile app.
