Adobe Acrobat Save History

[emma_6964]

I just bought a tablet, and downloaded Acrobat. I linked it to the acrobat on my computer, so I can access the same pdfs on both devices. I was editing a document on my tablet, and when I later came back to the document all work was deleted. I tried googling how to access the document history, but none of the options seem to be working. How can I access history on the tablet app? And any suggestions on how to fix the app to not delete my work? This has never happened on my computer 😕

@emma_6964 oh no! Acrobat apps on tablets doesn't have a built-in version history feature like the desktop application, so those online searches you did are likely leading you to options that aren't available on the mobile app. The app is primarily designed for viewing, annotating, and basic editing, with a focus on real-time saving to the cloud. When you're working on your tablet, the expectation is that your edits are saved automatically and synced to the cloud, so the fact that your work disappeared suggests there might have been a hiccup in that process. 

Since you didn't say if this was an iPad or an Android tablet, let's see if you can recover a little bit. In the Acrobat app on your tablet, navigate to the "Home" or "Files" section. Look for a "Recent" tab. Sometimes, if the save wasn't fully completed or if there was a temporary issue, an earlier version of your edited document might still be listed there. Also, double-check that you are properly signed in to your Adobe account in the Acrobat app on your tablet and that the syncing feature is enabled. Look for any sync status indicators within the app's settings
