    Hi alejandro Q, and welcome to our Community!

     

    Is this happening with a single PDF file or with all of them? 

     

    Can you describe to me the steps you’re taking exactly to open your PDF file with Adobe Acrobat? 

     

    Feel free to send any screenshots that may help troubleshoot this further.

     

    Give me a nudge, when you’re ready.

        Hey alejandro Q  - sorry to jump in here, but could you clear the cache from both of the apps, reboot your device and let us know if you notice any difference?
