Get answers to common questions about how the Adobe Express app works when launched from Adobe Acrobat.
Who can use the Adobe Express app to add creative templates to Acrobat PDFs?
If you're an Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Acrobat Standard individual subscriber (for English, French, German, and Japanese versions), you can launch the Adobe Express app from Acrobat to add a custom template to a PDF. You can choose from thousands of templates to customize and create engaging PDFs.
How can an Acrobat user access the Adobe Express app while using Acrobat?
The user can access the Adobe Express app using the Add Custom Page tool from the Acrobat desktop app or Acrobat online services while using the Organize Pages or Combine Files tools. The tool is also available from the Tools center.
Do I need to subscribe to Adobe Express to launch the Adobe Express app from Acrobat?
You don't need a subscription to launch the Adobe Express app from Acrobat. Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Standard individual subscribers currently have access to free and premium templates, design assets, fonts, and Adobe Stock free photos when launching the Adobe Express app from Acrobat.
Can I bring my Adobe Express designs into Acrobat?
No, this feature is not currently available.
After I add a PDF page by launching the Adobe Express app from Acrobat, can I later access the corresponding project in the Adobe Express app?
Yes. When you create a PDF page by launching the Adobe Express app from Acrobat, a corresponding project is saved in the Adobe Express app. You can access and delete the project by signing in to Adobe Express with the same email address you use to sign into Acrobat.
You can edit projects in Adobe Express. However, edits made in the Adobe Express standalone app are not synced with the corresponding PDF page added in Acrobat. If you use premium content (as identified with a crown icon) to create your project, you will be asked to upgrade to an Adobe Express premium plan to make edits. As some Creative Cloud plans include Adobe Express, check account management to determine if your plan qualifies.
Where are my files stored? Can I access them from both Acrobat and Adobe Express?
When you add a PDF page by launching the Adobe Express app from Acrobat, you can save your PDF to Adobe Document Cloud, your local computer, or external storage accounts. The PDF page you added is also saved as a project in the Adobe Express app. You can access the corresponding Adobe Express project by signing into the Adobe Express app with the same email address you use for your Acrobat sign-in.
Will my entire PDF file be stored in Adobe Express or just the Adobe Express page I created?
Only the Adobe Express page will be saved as a project in the Adobe Express app.
Will updates I make in an Acrobat file that includes an Adobe Express page be saved in the corresponding project in the Adobe Express app?
When you first create an Adobe Express page as part of your Acrobat PDF file, all edits you make during that session are saved to the PDF file and the corresponding project in the Adobe Express app. Any subsequent edits made to the PDF file in Acrobat are not saved in the corresponding project in the Adobe Express app.
If I delete a PDF page created using the Adobe Express app from Acrobat, will the corresponding project automatically be deleted in the Adobe Express app?
No, if you delete a PDF page that you created using the Adobe Express app launched from Acrobat, the page will not be deleted in the Adobe Express app.
Can I use my designed page for public use? Are the images licensed so I can use them for promotional purposes?
Yes, any PDF pages you create by launching the Adobe Express app from Acrobat can be used for promotional purposes. Get more information on the terms of use.
