Android reader problem

New Here ,
Apr 19, 2018 Apr 19, 2018
I installed the Android version of Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Google Play Store. I got the link from the Adobe.com website. It was supposed to be the DC version.

When I try to open any PDF file that allows "form input", a popup window says I need the DC version for Windows or Mac.

I can open any document that does not have form input. Previously I used my desktop running Windows 10 no problem. My mobile phone is more convenient.

I have a

Samsung Galaxy s8 +

SM-G955W

Android 8.0.0

Is there a reason this advertised DC version (by Adobe) does not function properly???

Thank you,

Ted

Use Acrobat Reader on a Windows system or a Mac.

I discovered it is possible on Android. Use Microsoft OneDrive to open the file and use the form feature to update the file and save it.

Only problem is, OneDrive automatically turns on protection for the file when you save it. You need to know the password to reopen the file.

I have been unable to stop the protection or discover the password. It would be nice if we knew how to do this.

I have Galaxy 8+ and Android 8.0.0.

I found that Foxit PDF works fine with the Manulife investment withdrawal form which is not XFA. Foxit says you have to upgrade to Foxit PhantomPDF Business to do XFA. Have not tried it. Costs $$$.

This not a extension. You must use Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac.

On a iPhone you will get the same message.
