Latest updates killed me
Oct 17, 2018

By Camscannerfanatic

I use this app primarily for work purposes. I save all my service receipts to this app and also fill out and submit safety and order forms daily. The recent update changed alot of things. First of all, the new design I don't like. That I can get used to but it's made it more difficult to use in my opinion. Some of the buttons are not labeled now, they only have icons so I have to guess what they do until I press them and find out if I'm right or wrong. More importantly, there are functions/operations that changed. For example, sharing a file through email no longer takes the file name and automatically makes it the subject line of the email. Also, when you sort by name,files with letters now follow files with numbers. I have to scroll through a hundred files (which have dates) to get to my template (which starts with letters). So I had to through a random zero at the beginning so it's at the top. There is more I could write but I think you get my point. I realize it may sound like nitpicking but when you use the app as much as I do it becomes very annoying. I am disappointed you made such a big change and it doesn't seem to be for the better. Let's get some of this fixed so I can change this back to 5 stars.

App is totally useless! I can't read anything that is opened with this app. Cuts off half of the documents so I can't see the right side of it. So I end up downloading the pdf and using Microsoft Office to read the document. I've done everything in settings to try and fix, even Uninstall and reinstall. Nothing works, useless. Adobe used to be the best, what happened?

If you care about backing up your documents, steer clear!
Dec 31, 2021

By Hooker pilot

I paid $10 for this app probably 6 years ago or more. I remember when the newest $10 version came out a few years back and I didn’t have access to it, that was a pretty big kick in the junk but I kept using it because I liked some of its features and it’s what I had been using for years. The most annoying part about using this app was that when I changed IPads, I had to find some creative way to transfer all of the documents that I used in the app to the newest device because they aren’t saved in the cloud anywhere. Well, I knew I should have changed after that but I didn’t because it’s what I had been using and I have a hard time changing. The worst case scenario just happened and I changed my iPad passcode after years of using the same one (again, don’t like change) and I forgot that passcode. I had to restore my iPad from my iCloud backup today and the worst thing happened. All my most important documents were lost, many of them for good. It will be very difficult, in some cases impossible, to get those again. Don’t use this app if you want your important documents to be secure and safe unless you’re manually backing them up every time you bring a new one in.

When I go to open my password protected pdf it starts to open and then I receive a message that some features are not supported and doesn't open. Before updating it opened fine. I did this on 2 androids to test and was able to create same issue. Before update it opened, since then it won't. Other than that it has been extremely great!

What happened
Mar 11, 2019

By jior design

As a subscriber of the Adobe creative cloud I am very displeased to see the industry standard for PDF software become practically unusable! In fact Adobe Acrobat no longer works on my iPhone XS! When I choose to download or simply view a pdf file, Adobe Acrobat nor the Adobe Creative Cloud app appear in the list of apps to choose from in the iOS share to/open menu! I tried a workaround by saving the PDF file to "files" both locally and via iCloud drive then attempted to open the saved PDF file via Adobe Acrobat which incredibly failed to open with a message stating "File type unsupported"... This is unacceptable! Can't open the very file format Adobe Acrobat is meant to not only open but create and manage! Wow just wow! Not sure what is going on but Adobe is slacking with other apps as well! I'm contemplating canceling my CC subscription since $50 a month is a price only worth paying for the best and I am literally seeing more and more apps that offer more! The mobile apps are terrible besides a select few! Out of all, I never thought Acrobat would ever lose the crown but here I am having to find an alternative in order to save the PDF I need! Verbal apologies won't change the fact that I'm dishing out money for software that isn't working properly!

Bunch of thieves
Aug 4, 2022

By milo art

They allow you to do a trial. Then before your trial is up you go on the app and try to cancel it and it sends you to the Apple subscriptions when they didn’t create your subscription through Apple. (Which I thought was a violation of apple’s ecosystem anyway) so you can’t cancel the trial. Then when you figure out how to cancel on their website you learn they signed you up for a year even though they charge you monthly and if you try to cancel they tell you they will charge you an extra 90 bucks. Thieves. Well, I will dispute charge with my credit card. Stay away! Many great alternatives

Charged after “canceling” trial
Aug 4, 2022

By RaeHops

I grabbed this for the 7 day trial they advertised to see if it would work for me needs. I quickly realized it didn’t so I canceled the subscription right away yet was charged anyway. Unfortunate and dishonest but not surprising from this company.

Way to destroy an app
Aug 3, 2022

By unhappy former Adobe user

I use Adobe reader to facilitate providing needed manufacturers information. Now with the latest update you cannot download a copy of a manufacturer’s manual and then download that same manual to a customer as Adobe modifies the original documents, then wants a subscription to share that same document with my customers. The original document is now modified and now is useless as it is no longer a “Manufacturers Original Document”. The authenticity of that document is destroyed. Shame on you Adobe.....pure greed....I wanted a PDF reader, not an editor. Unfortunately the edit pops up and destroys the original document and destroys it’s authenticy, for what greed? Now with the latest version has destroyed a treasure trove of documents that I will have to spend considerable time and effort to restore. I would gladly pay for a pure “document reader and storage” but Adobe got greedy now wants money monthly. Shame on you Adobe....PURE GREED

Lost my Apple Pencil comments after closing case
Aug 2, 2022

By katedei

I saw that this was an issue for other users too, needs to be fixed as I lost hours of work! Closing the case during commenting because I had to use the restroom shouldn’t be a reason for it to cancel commenting but should only pause the operation or form a back up auto save.

I've purchased this app many timesover the years and pay one price and own it till the next version came out. During the year you would receive updates which were fixes to the bugs that were in the program (NO CHARGE) I first purchased adobe was in 1993 and every year or so. Now it's a constant money grabber every month if not more often. And it broke down in many parts. I don't know about anyone else but I can't afford this but can't do without it. Somebody make a pdf app for one price for all.

Only a basic reader
Oct 26, 2020

By dtnel72

This is only a basic reader and not much more. I find that it lacks the ability to select multiple PDF files that you may have stored in your cloud account and then transfer them simultaneously to the device. A good example would be I have about 35 files I want to transfer to my device from my iCloud account and I have to go through and manually transfer each one of them one at a time. I have Google searched trying to find a way to batch move files but I cannot seem to find that I know the option used to be there before and be very easy. If it’s something that I have to pay for and I will continue using my dropbox account in the same manner it just will only take one extra step and stead of 35 extra steps. To sum it up basically you get a basic reader with Adobe acrobat reader and that’s about all you’re going to get. You can Open, read and share files but in my opinion I don’t see a whole lot more unless they’re not really advertising their products.

It's a shame to have to need something like this so I can print pdf files. This says it's for all files, but many downloads from websites are not able to be opened with this app. All I wanted to do is be able to print to a wireless printer. I can't decrease font size to print less pages. I tried edit, but apparently the extras all cost money. It's 2022 and reading,editing and printing pdf's should be as standard as automatic door locks on a car. I'll be looking for something else.

!!!horrible update!!!
Oct 3, 2018

By necessarynickname?

Zero stars if that were possible. I’ve never written a review before for any app, but this update is so awful that I had to comment. I have an iPad Air 2, which is not old enough to be the problem (I think). A handful of user comments after the last update are positive, but I echo the vast majority—the app freezes at the home page and I can’t access any files. At least I can open the app to see a home page with a recent files list; apparently some folks just see a spinning circle with the opening icon and never get to the home page. At first I thought my files had been deleted, as some folks complained, but since I can still see some recent file names listed on the home page, I can’t tell whether some or all files have actually been deleted. Either way, I can’t even sign in or sign up because that link on the home page doesn’t work either. Bottom line, fix it or I’m done (as are many others probably), obviously, because I can’t even access my files. Now I’m glad that I saved at least some files in other formats/apps.

Falsely advertised as free! I just wanted to edit a document. Something that would have taken 5 seconds to do. A service that's FREE everywhere else. But they wanted me to subscribe monthly or yearly for a STUPID amount of money for what it is. I guess I wasted the amount of time I could have just done it on my PC with an actually free program. Would be nice to do it on my phone. It could save me a whole 60 seconds. Not worth $100. Not even worth $1. Lol But Adobe did waste my time though.
