Being signed out at random.

[rasmussen418]

Hey guys,

my iPad Acrobat Reader signs me out for no apparent reason, when it feels like ... there seems to be no rule to this glitch, it happens randomly & I get the welcome screen introduction & everything. I am also signed out from my Dropbox.

This started happening around a week ago or so.

Hi rasmussen418​,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.  We are actively investigating the problem. However, we are having a hard time diagnosing the cause of the problem.

Would you please provide more information about the problem so that we can reproduce the problem at our end?

• What is the iOS version on your iPad/iPhone?  (Go to iOS Settings > General > About > Version.)
• What is the version of your Acrobat Reader?  (Go to iOS Settings > Adobe Acrobat > Version.)
• Did the problem start happening right after updating Acrobat Reader to the particular version?
• How frequently does the problem occur?  Weekly, Daily, or even hourly?

Would you be willing to uninstall and reinstall the Acrobat Reader app to see if the problem goes away (or still persists)?

Please make sure that you make back up copies of the documents that are locally stored on your iPad/iPhone.

Followed your advice & re-installed the app. Also updated to 10.3.3 (was not aware of this one). After that, I've had no problems at all. In other words, it sems to be working again. Thank you.
