Adobe Reader wont show more then 200 items in sharepoint connection?!
Hello everyone,
We are experiencing an issue with the SharePoint integration in Adobe Acrobat / Adobe Reader.
When navigating to a SharePoint document library through the built-in “Add Account” → SharePoint connector, only a portion of the folders is displayed.
Specific problem:
-
The library contains more than 200 folders
-
Adobe does not show an error message; it simply displays only the first group of folders
-
The missing folders are visible through:
-
SharePoint itself
-
Teams
-
Other applications
-
We are trying to determine whether this issue is caused by:
- Graph API paging (Microsoft Graph returns a default maximum of 200 items per request)
- Adobe is possibly not using pagination when retrieving folders through the SharePoint connector
- A bug in the Adobe SharePoint integration
- An undocumented limitation in Adobe’s implementation
What I cannot find:
-
Any official Adobe documentation stating that Acrobat or Reader has a 200-item limit when browsing SharePoint folders
What is known:
-
Microsoft Graph API returns 200 items by default (officially documented)
-
If an application does not follow the @odata.nextLink, it will only retrieve the first 200 items
-
There are multiple user reports online saying Adobe does not display all folders, but no official confirmation from Adobe
My questions to the community:
-
Has anyone else encountered an issue where Adobe and SharePoint only load 200 folders/files?
-
Does anyone know whether Adobe Acrobat/Reader supports pagination when accessing SharePoint libraries?
-
Is there any official Adobe source, bug report, or support case that describes this issue?
-
Has anyone found a workaround (e.g., splitting folder structures, using OneDrive Sync, or using the OneDrive connector instead of the SharePoint connector)?
Any insights or references are greatly appreciated — we are trying to determine whether this is a technical limitation, a configuration issue, or a bug.
Thanks in advance!
