Is ACROBAT.COM fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Users often sign up for various Adobe Acrobat subscriptions, which charge on a recurring basis monthly or annually.
• Trial Period Charges: Some users have reported being charged after using a free trial that automatically converts into a paid subscription if not cancelled in time.
• One-Time Purchases: Certain features or products, such as upgrades to Adobe Acrobat DC or individual add-ons, may incur a one-time charge.
• Overage Charges: If a user exceeds the limits of their subscription plan (e.g., number of documents processed), they can be billed for overage usage.
• Family or Group Plans: In group plans, charges may occur if one member exceeds limits or if an additional member is added.
• Multiple Accounts: Users sometimes inadvertently sign up for multiple Adobe accounts, leading to charges from more than one subscription.
• Reactivation Fees: If a subscription is paused or cancelled and then reactivated, a fee may apply.
• Currency Conversion Fees: International users might see additional charges due to currency conversion when processing payments.
• Bundled Services: Charges may arise from bundled services that include Adobe Acrobat as part of a larger suite of software purchased.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the acrobat.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the acrobat.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with acrobat.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
