Customer sending Microsoft Information Protection protected file that recipient and owner both unable to view using Android Adobe Acrobat app.

 

Is this expected? if yes, is there any plan for any improvement as part of Adobe and Microsoft partnership?

Correct answer AnandSri

Hello @vj83

 

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

 

The Adobe Acrobat mobile app on Android (and iOS) does not currently support Microsoft Information Protection (MIP)-protected PDFs natively. This limitation is expected behavior at this time. While MIP-protected PDFs can be opened on Windows and macOS using Adobe Acrobat (with MIP plugin or native support), mobile platforms like Android and iOS do not yet support this functionality within the Acrobat Reader app.

 

While there is no official timeline yet for Android support, we recommend monitoring updates via: Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
