Hello HowardGoodman,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, you are not able to open PDF files in iOS, Is that correct?

Please check for any pending updates of Adobe Reader mobile app from the app store, and restart the device after the installation of updates and see if this brings any difference.

You may also refer to the following KB doc See how to troubleshoot problems opening PDF files and other PDF related issues

What is the dot version of Adobe Reader mobile app installed, to identify go to Settings>Adobe Reader and check the version?

If the issue persists, please uninstall and reinstall Reader from App Store.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

Hi,

When you uninstall Acrobat Reader for iPhone and iPad, iOS will erase all of your "local" PDF documents that are stored on your iPhone/iPad.

Please make backup copies of your documents before uninstalling the app.

How to back up and restore PDF documents on iPad/iPhone using iTunes

For this particular problem, please restart your iPhone/iPad (instead of uninstalling the app) first.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Thank you.

IOS Version 17.12.15

upon opening the app, it opens one or two PDFs, then the “Opening...” dialog prevails on any files I try to open. Must restart the app to regain functionality.

Hi Howard Goodman,

We just released Acrobat Reader 18.01.15 to the App Store on January 10, 2018.

Please give it a try and let us know if it works for you.

Thank you!

Hi all,

Just to clarify...

The following options are temporary workarounds for the file open problem.

• Restarting Acrobat Reader for iPhone and iPad
• Restarting iPhone/iPad
• Uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat Reader for iPhone and iPad

Unfortunately, none of them will fix the file open problem permanently.

We are actively investigating and working on a fix for the problem.

Thank you for your patience.

Any progress?  Since the latest iso update I can't open pdf documents on my iPhone 11 or iPhone 7

If you have any VIRTUALSPEECH app, delete the app. It crashes PDF files on iOS13.

If any other app are doing that, the only way to find is to send yourself a pdf attached to an e-mail, and open the e-mail in the iOS device that is not working.

When you see the attachment, some strange logo/brand will be on the PDF file ICON instead of a PDF letters or a Acrobat logo.

Find which installed app does have that logo. Delete the app, because probably some bug are messing PDF files on the new iOS.

Best regards.
