Acrobat editing a Google doc

Question

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro DC with the intent of editing 200+ Google docs. I added the app to Google, so I can "Open with: Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive". However, there are no edit options, I end up with this loop where it tells me that I need to purchase the Premium version, which I have already purchased. The support person I chatted with was unable to help me, other than to inform me that I need to download each doc and then open it within Adobe, which adds A LOT of unnecessary time to a process that seems like it should work using the Adobe extension within Google. If this was just a couple of docs, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's not. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you want to edit 200+ Google documents, but there is no option to edit.

I have checked the Adobe account linked with your adobe ID/email you are using on this community and haven't traced any subscription.

- Are you trying to edit the PDF documents in the Google drive?

- What kind of edits you are trying to make into the documents?

Adobe Document Cloud for Google Drive is an integrated bundle of PDF services that allows you to do the following:

Open and view PDFs online with Adobe’s high-quality web-based PDF previewer.
Create Adobe PDFs that preserve fonts, formatting, and layouts.
Manipulate existing PDF documents by deleting, reordering, or rotating pages in a PDF.
Combine multiple files from Google Drive into a single PDF that you can use for archiving or distribution.
Convert PDFs into various document formats while preserving fonts, formatting, and layouts.
Add comments to PDF files with sticky notes, highlights, and a freehand drawing tool to write notes for yourself as you view the PDF files.
Send the PDF documents for signature and track them.
