Did Adobe forget to enable Zoom in/ Out on tablet  Android app? I can't imagine that such a tging should be a hassle to find.

    @Spike911 I have tried both on an Apple iPad, a Samsung Galaxy and even a side-loaded Amazon Fire Tablet with Acrobat on it. Both work with two fingers and pinch! 

    And BTW, your original post did state: 

    Using Adobe Acrobat on Samsung S9 Ultra — meaning it’s a phone, not a tablet

    @Spike911 I tried on my Google Pixel 10 Pro, and its two fingers snap out. It works like a charm.

    Did I say phone? I said Tablet. If you have one please try there. I know it works on phones as a champ

    Zooming should normally be available with pinch to zoom, on the android tablet app. If it is not working on your mobile which is samsung s9 ultra, it may be a setting or app specific issue so first you check that is it latest version Acrobat ? if No then update it and if yes, then restarting the app.

    Yes that works fine on a phone. My problem is with tablet. It doesn't follow.

    It sounds like the issue is version of Acrobat rather than the app in general. Since, on your phone, pinch-to-zoom works fine, you could try cleaning of Acrobat cache and then restarting of your tablet. If it still doesn’t work, then it may be limitation of current version of Acrobat or tablet-specific issue. It would also be worth checking whether other PDF apps on apps on S9 Ultra support pinch-to-zoom normally. And also if everything is up to date and pinch-to-zoom still doesn’t work, it could be a limitation or bug in the current tablet version rather than a setting you’re missing.
