Hi there,

iam using adobe acrobate ver. 19.9.1 on my android os 6.1 

i have a certain issue that really bugs me, if i download from facebook for exapmle a pdf file, and open it through the acrobate, for now everything is fine, however if i close it, and try to search for it on my phone i do not find it by any mean. only can access it through your app.

where are the files located?!!!! grrrrr

moreover i can not relocate them from the adobe itself, or give my the pathway to open it directly

from my file manager.

searching on the community here and there the only thing i found is i can upload it to the cload and then download it AGAIN to save it where i want ... do you see that even reasnable?!! 

please find us some answers we can relay on FOR REAL 

thanks,

appreciate it

Hi,

 

In this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-mobile/android-buttons-actions-saved-pdf-javascript/m-p/10822917#M7274   I am helping a user with a different issue that is indirectly related to yours.

 

I've posted plenty of slides from my Android device to illlustrate how to manage and save files.

 

As a rule of thumb, if you are getting files from other places on the web, like Facebook, they will normally be saved in the Downloads folder.

 

Be aware that when you open Acrobat Reader these files will be stored in the Download folder by default;  not in the Downloads folder that your deafult browser uses. 

 

When you open Acrobat Reader, in your Home View screen click on the bottom ribbon toolbar Files.

 

On the next screen select On this Device, and the next screen on the upper left corner below the title bar you will see where all of your PDF are stored which is the Downloads folder.
