Hello. I have an iPhone with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have tried editing documents on my phone, but I cannot edit or fill and sign. The document is listed with an error message as read only. How do I edit documents with my iPhone in the Adobe Acrobat Pro application?

Some of your terminology is confusing.

The iPhone does not support Acrobat Pro — you can only install Acrobat Reader for Mobile (free). If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro for desktop and have signed in with the same login, then it includes editing capabilities on the iPhone.

The exception is if the PDF is read-only. If the creator locked the file for editing then you cannot edit it without knowing the password and unlocking it. 

• Did you get the PDF from a public website? If so, we can look at it.
• Do you have Acrobat Pro on your desktop? If so, go to File > Properties > Security and tell us what it says.

There's a good chance I've misunderstood your question, so please clarify.
