Access OneDrive files in Acrobat, Acrobat Reader

Before you begin

We're rolling out a new, more intuitive product experience. If the screen shown here doesn’t match your product interface, select help for your current experience.

In the new experience, the tools appear on the left side of the screen.

You can easily store and access files from your OneDrive consumer or business file storage account when you’re working in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader on your desktop.

Note:

Microsoft will decommission Office 365 discovery API on November 1, 2019. Acrobat or Reader and OneDrive business integration uses Office 365 discovery API. The decommissioning of the Office 365 discovery API will break the integration. To fix this problem, update your Acrobat/Reader to the latest release – on the Help menu, click Check for updates and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update process.
