Dear,

While reading a pdf file in android through this app, one can find himself in a position to delete the file. But there seems to be no option for a user to delete file from this app.

Please consider the option. It will help us keep our memory clean.

Thank you.

    Hi Pallabsahabd,

    We are sorry for the delay in response.

    If you are looking for the option to delete the file, then definitely it is available in the application.

    You cant delete the file while reading but yes from the list where you see all the files listed, you can select the one you want to remove.

    How you would do that, for that you may go through the help document Acrobat Reader Help for Android: Managing files and folders

    where its explained in detail.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Akanchha

    Hi @Merry_Coral55ae

    I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We would like to help, and we want to make sure we understand what you are trying to do.

    Could you please tell us:

    1. Which number do you want to delete and add (for example, a page number, a phone number, or text inside a PDF)?

    2. Which app and device are you using (for example, Acrobat Reader on Android, iPhone, or a computer), and which app version?

    3. Where do you see this number, and what steps have you tried so far? A screenshot would help, as long as it does not show personal details.

      Hi Pallab,

      What you are looking for has already been shared above. The help document which is mentioned above explains step by step how to delete a file.

      Acrobat Reader Help for Android: Managing files and folders

      If the file is downloaded to some other (download) location of your device then it must have another way of deleting it depending on which Android phone you are using.
