Hi there.

When I open Adobe and then click on the PLUS down on the right, I'm only given the options to open a document that already exists, not to get a blank page where I can start writing a brand new document. I'm trying to attach the screenshots here but no matter how often I click on the pic to attach them, it doesn't open up. What am I doing wrong or missing, please? How does it work please? Thanks in advance. Oh, it looks like I managed to attach the screenshots!

By "Adobe", do you mean "Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mobile" where this is posted?

You cannot create a new file in Acrobat Reader for mobile or desktop. You need Acrobat DC Pro (desktop) to do that.

Hi Jane, thanks for worrying.

Yeah, by now I got it --I need either a desktop or can I perhaps edit on the phone with some app and then save it as a PDF with Adobe Premium, which is the subscription I have?

Yes my friend, unfortunately I'm stuck only with my phone...

I don't understand why you are trying to create a PDF using the Acrobat Mobile application. It was never designed to be a document creation program and it will be difficult to do much with it. If you're stuck with working solely on your phone (ugh), maybe try to find a text editor that will run on it and use Adobe Premium to create a PDF from that?

@Tocino255984745b4g, your problem's solved, correct?

Acrobat for mobile is a PDF viewer for your mobile device.

For best results use your favorite desktop publisher, MS Word, Google Docs or Adobe InDesign, to create documents and then export to PDF with Acrobat Pro.

Hi Nancy, thanks for worrying.

Unfortunately I have only a mobile phone so I'll try to follow your advice and find some editor for the mobile that allows me to do what you are explaining there.

Thanks!

this looks like a mobile app.

1. do you have a paid subscription?

2. what is the app's exact name?

there is no adobe premium subscription.

do you mean you have an adobe premiere pro subscription?

and again, what mobile app (exact name) are you trying to use?

p.s. here are the most commonly used plans, https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html
