Adobe reader in android won't sync with OneDrive

[André38990753swgv]

Hi

I have Adobe Reader 24.7 and I have it connected to my One Drive account.

Up to a few weeks ago I could read and edit pdf files from my One Drive and, after closing the document,it would upload the modifications to the cloud.

But lately, it does not happen at all. 

It is not related to file size, internet connection... I have updated both apps and didn't solve. Rebooted and also cleared cache and uninstalled and reinstalled... But nothing seems to work.

How can this be corrected?

Hello Amal, 

Thanks in advance for your reply.

On my Android tablet I don't get an error message. But the Adobe app isn't updating the files to the OneDrive cloud as I edit them. I use the adobe reader app, in order to read/review/study pdf files and highlight/make notes. 

I browse through the files in the OneDrive account, using adobe app.  I open the PDF's and highlight whatever I feel like with no problems. However, after closing the pdf, it should automatically update on my OneDrive account all the changes I made. But, if I open that same file through the OneDrive app or on my computer, the changes I made are not there. The files is simply as it was before any change I made. 

In the files I marked the PDF I had just edited: in the Adobe app you can see that it is a file from a cloud storage, and that the changes were made a few minutes ago. But, on the OneDrive the file is the same as it was back in December 2022. 

So, why is it not syncing?

Hi!

Thank you. 

I use a Lenovo Tablet, model TB-X606F, with android 10 version. 

These are the steps. As you can see, despite changing the pdf on acrobat, it does not upload the changes to the One Drive...

Ok, I just tried this and I lost all the changes I made to my documents on my Android phone. They've been deleted from my phone and they are also not saved on OneDrive. I normally would not be this reckless, but I haven't been thinking clearly today. I'm going to have to redo that work now. Still not sure when or how I can start using my phone. I'm going to have to use my laptop only for now.

Hi.

I have the same problem. I could work with my adobe previously, and now I have the exact problem with my tablet. My tablet is a Samsung Galaxt Tab S24 Ultra (SM-X910), while the android version is 14 and One UI version is 6.1.1. The operating system is up to date.

Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it if you please solve this problem, which did not occur before.

Hi Amal,
Same issue as described above.
We use Adobe pro reader for people to sign our hire agreements, recently Adobe Pro stopped saving to One Drive. I was able to get it back going after uninstalling the Adobe app and reinstalling but this time that is not happening either. No errors are shown, just not updating the one drive file. The file remains edited on the tablet but not on One Drive.

One UI 6.1

Hello,

we have the same issue. Our users connected the Onedrive in the Adobe android App, once the make changes, the file isn't saved on the Onedrive, but in the Documents folder on the local device. How can this be resolved?

Regards

I have the same issue. I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet.

[Jon5C52]

Same problem for me too.  Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ running Android 14 and Acrobat 25.1.0.370.36. 

This seems to be a pretty widespread bug.  Any updates?  

[fernando_1475]

Same error. The app doesn't sync my file and I lost every change in it. Happened several times

Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

Android 14 One UI 6.1

Adobe Acrobat 25.2.0.37438

Same issue, I lost all updates to two PDFs. It is now over 6 months and this is now not resolved?  Any updates?

[André38990753swgv]

Is there any news regarding this? Is adobe actually working on this?

In the last months I have stopped relying on Adobe to read and mark my pdfs. Instead I am using OneDrive's PDF reader. Despite being slower, doesn't glitch and I don't risk losing my work

[JD Hascup]

Agree, as a creative cloud subscriber I am not happy. Makes Acrobat unless for me when traveling. 

[JD Hascup]

The problem I think stems from Acrobat forcing the PDF up to Adobe's cloud. I do not want a file from One Drive going to Creative cloud. Thus all edits are kept in Creative Cloud and thus not sync'd back to One Drive. At least I saved edits on one PDF finding it in my creative cloud. Adobe should not be forcing the PDF to creative cloud unless I request it.
