Question

Mobile App and Passwords

In the mobile app (Acrobat Reader signed in to my Acrobat DC account), how do I remove a password from a document?  I know how to do this on desktop - the question is: how to do it on the mobile app?

 

for that matter, the moile app also will not let me use "Organize Pages" function on a passworded document that I unlocked with a password and saved a copy of.  How to fix that?

 

Tech support said they are no longer offering tech support on "that product", presumably meaning mobile apps.  Heads up - the world is mobile!

Hello BricksterSF

 

Hope you are doing well.

 

To change or remove the password for an existing protected PDF, you would be required Acrobat DC desktop application. You can change/remove password security, only when these conditions are met:  https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/how-to-mange-your-document-passwords-with-acrobat-dc/td-p/110...

 

However, Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app allows you to protect your PDF file with a password. Subscribers to Adobe Acrobat Premium or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC can password protect PDFs by setting a document open password.

 

Note: Only document open passwords can be set up using the mobile app. For permission password, you would be required Acrobat DC desktop application.

Hi @BricksterSF 

Are you using Acrobat Reader or the beta version?

The iPhone app says Actrobat Reader, but when I open it, at upper right it says Acrobat DC Pro, because I am signed in. So the DC Pro features supposedly are unlocked.

I'm asking because you posted to the forum for "Acrobat Reader Mobile Beta". I'll move it to Acrobat Reader for you where you are more likely to get support.
