Why can't I use my subscription from my phone in my computer??

    This is utterly ridiculous. These Software companies are taking the piss. It is extremely unreasonable to make someone pay for two separate subscriptions for mobile and for desktop on the SAME ACCOUNT.  Anyway I'm unsubscribing.

    You posted to Acrobat for Mobile, which is free. Reader for Mobile has an optional subscription to Premium, which includes some features — such as editing — as a special service for folks who do not have a desktop computer. Premium is only available on mobile.

     

    Acrobat Reader for desktop (also free) does not have a Premium subscription.

     

    If you want those features (and much more) on desktop, you need to subscribe to Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro. Here are the plans:
