Multiple tabs on iphone and ipad app [2021]

[alexmcvolk]

Why isn't possible to open multiple tabs? I use other pdf viewers that can do this, and I am really missing it on Acrobat. 

[Bernd Alheit · Accepted solution]

This feature is not available in Acrobat Reader for iOS.

Excuse me, I'm a professional using iPad Pro.. I pay annually for the premium version… my work is based on processing multiple data simultaneously and having multiple pdf files open is a must ! I am very disappointed by your answer !!! This is something you have to fix immediately...

[Bernd Alheit]

I can't change this.

Any idea in future when they can add this feature.

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

We don't have that feature for mobile application at present. Thank you for highlighting this to us. It's in a future enhancement pipeline. You will get an official announcement as well as a notification when this will roll out.

You can use the following link to share your feedback/raise a new feature request to the product team directly: https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Regards,

Ria

It's been 2 1/2 years and these guys at Adobe could care less about this feature.  (Cursing removed)

Hi @kennethg82708317,

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for wriiting in!

The feature has been worked upon and should be launching very soon.

I cannot commit to the exact date of the release but is planned for the first quarter of next year.

Hi Souvik,

In my world 3 months is a relatively long period of time. So can you please explain how 3 months + is regarded as 'very soon'? Also do you have an update on this? This is a feature that I use often and I have just switched to an iPad Pro from a MacBook. Yet this is not an issue that is advertised and has only become apparent post purchase.

Hi @#CXTW,

Thank you for writing in!

There are limitations to the app's behavior when we compare an iPad with a Mac. The feature has been worked on and should be available by this quarter of the year.

The 1st quarter is over now. I don't see this feature in the iOS/iPadOS app. Could you please provide an update or, if I am simply missing something, a clarification on how to engage this feature (specifically on an iPad). Thank you.

[S. S]

Hi @Sasha5CB2,

Thanks for writing in!

There have been some complications when testing the feature on iPad, and thus has been delayed.

The feature will be released soon.

I will keep the thread updated on the progress.

Please update this featute asap. Thank you. 

[Richard Bradshaw]

We are now in September and the feature is still not here. I am sorry but this is not incredibly professional of Adobe, despite Adobe stating its a professional app! At present I am still paying Adobe for use of this app despuite having to pay and use another app that gives me this option! I know more fool me!

[paulina_3126]

This is also a simple request. It's not a new feature or technology... it's probably one of the first features of anything to open multiple tabs.

Hi there

I hope you're doing well, and thank you for reaching out to us!

I understand you're looking for assistance with managing multiple PDFs tabs in the Acrobat Reader mobile app. Please follow the steps below, and see if this resolves the issue

For Android Devices:

1. Launch the Acrobat Reader mobile app and open any PDF document.
2. Tap the "Recent" button on your Android screen (typically located at the far left), which will display your recently opened apps.
   
3. From the recently opened apps select the Acrobat Reader app and open a second PDF document.
4. To switch between opened PDF tabs, press the "Recent" button again and scroll left or right to select the desired PDF.
   
   

Note: Using this method, you can open and view up to five PDF document tabs on a mobile device.

Please give these steps a try and let us know if they resolve the issue. If you continue to experience any difficulties, don't hesitate to reach out.

We're here to help!

Good morning, 

Thank you for this information, however that is not multiple tabs. Multiple tabs is when you can have more than one tab open at the same time as others.

Hi there

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We truly appreciate hearing from you. Rest assured, we’ll pass your comments along to our engineering team for further review and consideration.

Dear Amal,

The problem is that we "rest assured" since 2021 !

It is outrageous that Adobe hasn’t fixed this fundamental issue yet… and it was the most expensive app (not sure if it is still). That’s why I striped it out and I subscribed to PDF Expert which I highly recommended to all.

[Amal.]

Hi there, we are sorry for the trouble. Please give us some time to get this reviewed by the engineering team. We will share the update soon.

Thanks for your understanding

I must apologise, However, I am unsure of what you are stating. We are told it's coming in the first quarter of this year. And now it needs to be reviewed by the engineering team? That only tells me that the feature wasn't being implemented in the first place! so basically we were being lied to? is this the case?

[Richard Bradshaw]

Although I understand that complications in the app can cause delays, I’m disappointed that the feature we were promised in the first quarter of this year is still not available. We’re now in the fourth quarter, and there’s no sign of it. As a company, you seem to be prioritizing AI features at an additional cost to users, while neglecting features that have been repeatedly requested and are already included in your current subscription. When will this feature be available? The latest update I received was that it will be reviewed by the engineering team, but I’m curious about the timeline for its implementation.

Furthermore, as a company, you appear to forget that all the profits, wages, and salaries paid to your staff are ultimately paid for by your customers. Yet, there’s no real support or consideration for the people who actually subscribe to Adobe products, who are essentially paying for your wages.

We also need this feature for 650 users IOS tablets, any good news?

[Richard Bradshaw]

This just goes to show that ADOBE is not really interested in thier customers, and what the customer asks for. No response from them at all. 

For months now I have been reporting a "BUG" within thier software, whilst in "Night Viewing Mode" you can not fill in forms as you can't actually see the text your filling in as it appears black, on a black background. If they can't even get the simple things correct, how can they add new featears that have been constantly asked for since at least 2019.

Adobe is a HUGE disappointment and a disaster of a company.

Hi @Richard Bradshaw

This discussion is related to the feature request to open multiple tabs on iPad devices, it is in discussion with the engineering team and for future implementation.

The issue you are reporting is related to filling the PDF form in night mode, I would appreciate if you could start a new discussion on Acrobat Reader Mobile community page.

Thanks
Amal
