AI Assistant on Acrobat Not Working (Something went wrong. Try Again)

[Abinash367859270zyd]

I paid for the AI Assitant Subscription, and it just doesn't work. I tried it on a couple of research papers. I tried it on a simple resume. I even tried it on a document which has almost no specialized formatting. Same message over and over again "Something Went Wrong. Try Again."

It's frustrating that a premium feature won't work. And on top of that, it won't even tell me what exactly went wrong. At least give Error codes! 

Does anyone have a workaround? Oh btw, I tried to do it on the Web app too. Same problem.

Hi Abinash367859270zyd,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble caused.

Are you getting the error message with a specific PDF file, or is it happening with all PDFs? Are you using the AI assistant on Acrobat or the freeware Reader? Also, could you please confirm the current version of Mac OS that has been installed? I assume you're using the latest Acrobat/Reader app version: 24.002.20687.
Try experimenting with a different set of PDFs to see if you encounter the same error message. Additionally, restart the app once and give it another try.

Please keep us updated on your progress.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hello @Abinash367859270zyd 

Are you still encountering the issue? Please try restarting the app, sign out, sign in again with the Adobe ID (email) linked to the purchase, and then check.

Please let us know if you encounter any error messages.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

No, the problem persists.

It wasn't clear in the purchase page and the entire Adobe Acrobat page --
Do I need to be subscribed to the Adobe Pro plans, in addition to Assistant
to use it? Like the plans which enable me to edit, sign or organize PDFs?

Because, I was a subscriber to such a plan (I think the lowest tier, about
$20 a month). I am not anymore. However in my plans, the AI Assistant plan
shows up as a stand-alone plan.

I signed out and signed back in, the problem still exists.

The AI assistant works in the Mobile app, and the web app, but not the
desktop version.

Hi Abinash367859270zyd,

Thank you for reaching out.

As you have purchased the AI assistant subscription, you do not require an Acrobat subscription to use it. You can use it with the free version of Acrobat Reader. You can view, print, sign, and share the PDF on Acrobat Reader.

However, if you try to edit a PDF (we assume you are referring to the Edit PDF tool, not the Fill & Sign tool), the feature is part of the Acrobat subscription. Features like editing or organizing PDFs will require a separate Acrobat subscription. 

As you mentioned, the feature works on web and mobile versions. Please let us know if you use the editing or organizing options on web and mobile applications. More information will help us to provide correct information. 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi @Melissa37442355dkq2,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

I checked your account details and saw an active subscription for AI Assistant. 

Have you installed the application from the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy Store? This is crucial to understanding the situation, as your purchase is from Samsung, not the Google Play Store.

Also, to test, would you mind uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the Samsung Galaxy Store? Once installed, log in using the same Adobe ID you signed in to the community and check if you can use it now.

The AI Assistant Pack should work independently, regardless of whether you have an active Acrobat subscription.

If the issue persists, please share a screen recording video of the entire event and the Application version number for a better understanding and assistance.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mel @Melissa37442355dkq2,

Thanks for the response! 

I checked the details, and the yearly subscription, somehow, does not reflect on our servers but appears on the Samsung Portal. 

I am checking this with the dedicated team for further investigation and fixing.

Meanwhile, I request you to continue with the monthly plan for AI Assistant.

Your kind understanding and patience are highly appreciated!

 samsung does not want to refund me. When i contacted adobe virtual chat centre at first i was told to ask samsung for refund and not adobe. Ok, i do hope after my mthly subs expire, my yearly subs can work please? Coz i had to get a duplicate monthly subs to compensate for yrly subs not working. My extra $9.50 for $80 yearly subs that could not function 😞

AI assistant just keeps thinking, never delivers, overview or any screen to ask questions... stuck in the first mode. Help.

Thanks for reaching out @teelight 
Is this happening with all the files? How often this issue occurs? 

You may try the following steps and let us know if that makes any difference:

• Launch Acrobat. Click on the Hamburger icon > Help > Repair installation. 
• Restart your machine, if possible. 
• Try again and let us know if you notice any difference or issue remains the same.

Also, kindly check if there is no intermittent issue with your network.
We will be waiting patiently for your response.
