Any method to manual save Acrobat Pro on IOS?

[Ericka27679149311z]

This doesn't occur very often, but it occurs often enough to make me want to throw my iPad out of a window. Sometimes, Acrobat crashes (I'm talking writ large, as I do keep up with updates, not complaining about any certain crashing situation). Such is life. No big deal. However, it is a big deal when I've been carefully marking editing notes on the iPad, under the guise that the work is autosaved to the cloud, only to find that when the app reopens after the crash, I've lost all of the work I've done for the past several hours is gone. Is there a way to manually save when using Acrobat Pro on an iPad with iOS?

I can manually save when I do other types of editing on the computer app but I only see the option to create another save on the iPad. This would create a large number of duplicate files crowding up my cloud every couple of pages to make sure I retained the work I put in. I'd rather just have a "save" option that takes the time to update the cloud file then and there.

Hi @Ericka27679149311z,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble.

When making any annotations on the iPad, what you can try is clicking on done, and then closing the PDF. This ensures that the changes you made are saved on the file. 

Also, I would suggest doing this at regular intervals as working on a single file for too long can consume a lot of device memory due to the processing needed for the render and the processing.

Let us know if this helps.

I don't see a "done" option. Is there another menu I'm missing? I tried exploring a bit now (and I've explored quite a bit in the past, too). I don't see a way to do this easily.

It's also worth noting that there is a rather significant lag between my last correction on the iPad and when I can download the file with all of the edits on a computer when I'm ready to send them to a client (internet has no effect on this as I experience this both at work and at home). I thought I had a workaround by forcing a new save with "Save a copy," but it turns out that this method even leaves off my last few corrections. To avoid this, I'll go into the comments menu and manually move the last correction around on the page for a bit, then saving the copy. But, I'm hesitant to continually save copies of a file as I don't want to bog down the cloud with 50 copies of the same file. It would just be so much easier if I had the option to force a save so I didn't have to do any of this song and dance routine to be able to work on a file in various locations.
