Hi marioo7818309,

To download a file from your Acrobat.com online account, do the following:

Log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
Select the file that you want to download.
Click the Download link at the top of the file list.

Your file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer.

Best,

Sara

You must be running an old version of Acrobat. The is no Download link.

To look modern, they just removed the traditional file management system. But luckily, Ctrl+Shift+S still work, make sure to choose Save as PDF (not convert to .docx) and choose your computer.

I think this sums up the whole debacle: The download option is completely hidden under a mystery rock somewhere which Adobe refuses to disclose. As a workaround, I tried the menu item “Export PDF...” Which does not actually export a PDF! Seriously?! The item will let you export the file in a many different formats EXCEPT PDF!! Once again dashing all hope of finding a work around to download my own file created in Adobe Scan.

has anyone managed to crack this? What or where is the download link at the top of the file list. Its ridiculously difficult to extract a pdf from the cloud storage. Alternately, is there a way of never using Adobe Cloud storage and saving everything to my hard drive?

I’m convinced that Adobe is deliberately hiding the download option from its users. The amount of hunting required on the website is insidious. It’s always behind the three little dots (...) but ahhh! Which three little dots on which page? The reason Adobe is trying to prevent us from downloading our own documents is so that they can rent us the storage space and keep us tied to their website. You can also tell this is a design feature for Adobe (not a flaw to them) because the help we get is always “Oh just click <download>,” as if that wasn’t what we’d been trying to do for half an hour and wracking out brains trying to remember how we pulled it off the last time.

The link you provided doesn’t help. I’m trying to download a particular document > Adobe Scans > Documents. There is no menu option to download this document inside Adobe Scans. I can only download the entire contents of the Adobe Scans folder.

It is extremely aggravating that there is no signposting on the local saved version of Acrobat (ie on my Mac) that I have to go online to download the PDF!! Consider when one is asked fora resume or CV: the most common use case request is to upload, not share a link!

Hi matthew37123160dj2n,

Thank you for reaching out.

You can access a document directly from the desktop application if you have saved it in Acrobat Online storage. In Acrobat, go to the Home tab > Adobe Cloud Storage > Your Files.

If you are referring to something else, please provide more information about that issue here.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I am still having massive issues with Adobe Acrobat's inability to "Download" meaning: any files I created on Acrobat via my iPhone is then automatically uploaded to the extremely confusing Acrobat files viewer (if you can call it that) from there I CON NOT DOWNLOAD the file I created to my Hard Drive... unless I "save as" and save a copy.
The lack of clarity and extreme complication to a simple process is astounding even for Adobe's standards.
Clearly this is a desperate attempt to force the user to use the hapless Adobe Cloud

Hi iD3Z1GN,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

If you are creating a PDF on an Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile application, it will not automatically save it in Acrobat Online storage. You will need to manually upload it.

Please share the screen recording of the complete workflow you do and how you are not able to download the file. Share the screenshot if you get any error messages. It will help us to understand the issue and provide correct information.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Sorry but I shouldn't have to re-create anything for the purpose of having some kind of "second hand" advisory to a major WORKFLOW ISSUE created by a policy to force users into a process beneficial to Adobe NOT TO THE PAYING CUSTOMER. How many people work at Adobe? - the request is simple: MAKE IT EASIER TO DOWNLOAD A PDF FILE CREATED WITH ACROBAT (yes, all platforms, in all situations, simple)
Thank you in davance.

How do I download multiple files from cloud - I get a zip error for all my files in one go - how many can I download at a time please.

What is the point of uploading files if I cannot get them back easily?

What exactly is happening in Feburary - are you deleting all my cloud files - in one email it says no, in the help file online it says yes

I was an Adobe fan - now looking at alternatives, very disappointed

Hi @MattDurcan,

I tried going to https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/docuements/ and tried downloading a folder directly to my system.

It took some time to complete creating the zip file due to the number of files within the folder but it went through.

Would you mind sharing a screenshot or screen recording of the issue with me for a better understanding and assistance?

so where is that "download link". Can you point to it ?

Is there an easier way to download a file that is sent through email rather than opening the cloud version on the web ?

Hi @Hans28228229djmr,

Hope you are doing well.

To download a file that is saved on the Cloud Library, you can go to https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/documents/

click on the three dots on the extreme right of the file name you want to download-> click on download on the drop down that comes up.

Hope this helps.

-Souvik.

This solution has now been taken away. It only allows you to digitally share the document now - not to down load it.

Why? I want to store it on MY computer please. How do I do this?
