Question

Problem with one drive sync

Hello

using acrobat reader app version 23.05.01 on ipad 9 ios 16.5.

 

the app keeps creating conflict copies when trying to sync with onedrive where the psf is located. (I trying using a reader from another company and do not have the same problem).

besides creating a conflicted copy, 2 out of 3 times it loses one hour or so of comments and hoghlights. 

i tried moving the file to my ipad, and to my surprise lost another hour of notes even without syncing issues with external programs.


this issue does not happen right away, the file must be open for around one hour.

 

apart from that, there should be more freedom to change highlight colors and at least another level of transparency. Why not have the same colors as in the pc version? 

maybe it is a bug with 16.5.

if this is solved (the sync and loss of notes) ill gladly change my review on the app

 

thanks

Pedro

I have the exact same issue. A new conflict file is created whenever I make any changes to a pdf in Onedrive. It is quite maddening tbh and obviously this has been an issue for over a year.

Hi @Pedro30620055g6i3 @Koteswara30632680ex1p,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat Reader Mobile.

 

We would like to know a few pieces of information for better investigation:

1. The app version of Acrobat Reader Mobile you are using (go to Profile-> About Acrobat);

2. The complete workflow that you are following (from opening the file, importing it to Acrobat, adding the comments, and to the part where a conflict file is created);

 

Normally, files saved on OneDrive do not allow to be overwritten directly on the drive; thus, a new conflict file is created by the application and uploaded on the drive.

 

Since you also mentioned that the issue occurs with local files, I would like to see the entire scenario and work on it with the team to fix it.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

I have this issue since long but I cannot take it anymore.

 

I am running the latest version of Acrobat in my iPad. The document is not open anywhere else. Acrobat creates several copies of the document marking them as "conflict" and even makes a "conflict of a conflict" version.

 

When I work for long in a document, it may end up with 10 different copies of the document.

 

It seems to be an issue that Acrobat has with OneDrive stored documents.

 

I would appreciate any assistance

Amal.

Hello,

my Onedrive is 35% full and I only experience this issue with Acrobat
Reader on my iPad. It doesn't even happen with Acrobat Reader in Android.

Hi @calooownedd42858791

 

What happens on saving files from other apps, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, to your OneDrive account, or when attempting to duplicate files within OneDrive, do you encounter the same or similar issues?

Adobe readerbis the best app and using since long time. We appreciate the maintaining and problem solving capability. But now Am also facing same problem.

Creating a conflict copy but loosing the all data is really trouble making and irritating.

Please show the remedy for the problem, otherwise its best app to use for reading.
