    Thank you for posting to this public discussion forum, ​@Doug.bready@outlook.com.

     

    I apologize for any problems you have encountered managing your different subscriptions.

     

    I can confirm that the Acrobat Standard subscription provides no added value for an individual account. You started the unneeded subscription on February 24, 2026.

     

    Is there an error you were trying to solve by purchasing the second subscription, ​@Doug.bready@outlook.com?  We do try to prevent duplicate subscriptions on the same account, but you were already subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Pro when you purchased the Standard subscription in February.

     

    Please click on https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen to speak with a member of our team who can help you cancel the unneeded subscription.

     

    For more information on the cancellation and refund process, see https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/terms-policies-and-regulations/adobe-subscription-terms.html. Any refunds issued will take up to 14 days.

     

    Please update this public discussion with any errors you received in Acrobat, ​@Doug.bready@outlook.com, or if you have any additional questions.

    So why does Adobe allow you to inadvertently sign up for multiple means of accessing the same application, and still charge you for each access subscription, then at cancellation, threaten to end access to your files, and finally, offer you free service till end of the subscription period? What a scam I have never liked Adobe business practices; products obviously are good but man the front office is all about get ‘em and screw ‘em…

    cancel your standard subscription.  for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

     

    make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html 

     

    if you want to cancel but are unable to follow the steps described in the "how to cancel page", you probably have a payment error that you need to repair before cancellation is allowed, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/fix-failed-missed-payment.html
