Question

Unable to cancel free trial

I've been trying to cancel my free trial and have followed all the guides given here but when I click on 'manage plan' there isn't the option to cancel the plan in the My Plan box.  I had cancelled the payment account through Paypal and wondered if that was why but when I tried to change the payment type to see if it would let me cancel the free trial then, there is no option to add a different payment type.  

I am slowly losing the will to live!  I have spent days trying to cancel this free trial and all I keep getting is a message telling me to try again in 24 hours!  

It's impossible to contact a real live person in Adobe about this and even the automated message service vanishes every time I try to type a message.

PLEASE can someone help me cancel this free trial?  Thank you.

@Anonymous To cancel a  Reader Mobile subscription, you must cancel through the app store where you subscribed—it will depend on the mobile device, Google Play for Android, Apple App Store for iPhones/iPads.

For example, on my Google Pixel 8:

  1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Google Pixel 8.
  2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap "Payments & subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
  4. Tap "Subscriptions" to view a list of all your active subscriptions.
  5. Select the Adobe Acrobat subscription from the list.
  6. Tap "Cancel subscription".
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions and select a reason for cancellation to complete the process. 


On my Pixel, I even went to Acrobat Reader Mobile:

  1. Tap the profile icon (top-right corner).
  2. Tap "Subscriptions".
  3. Tap "Manage subscriptions", which will open the Google Play Store subscription page.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts in the Play Store to cancel the subscription.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm not sure if I posted my question in the wrong place - the free trial is for Adobe Express, not Reader, and I somehow (accidentally) signed up for the free trial through the Adobe website, I didn't do it through an App Store so as I understand it I should be able to cancel it on the Adobe website, but it just won't let me.

Are there any Adobe Staff in this forum who can assist me please?

Same as mine, I can't cancel my free trial at all. I contacted their support and was told I have to cancel through App store. It doesn't even show on App store. Completely dodgy.
