I see that InDesign file format is supported. But how can you create a PDF on iOS when the fonts & links on an InDesign file is not available?
Great question! We’ve posted it to the AcrobatUsers.com forum to discuss in more length: http://acrobatusers.com/forum/pdf-creation/createpdf-ios-question

Hi Seyma, we’ve posted your question to the Adobe forums, please check here for further updates and conversation: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/944244 Thanks!
Is there an Adobe application that allows PDF forms to be filled in and saved on an iPad?
Thanks for asking Andrew, please find more information on this subject in this blog post http://adobe.ly/ofsxxo and the Apple App store.
We receive a lot of documents in PDF form and need the ability to add and remove pages on the pdf. Is there a way to do this on Android? I also use a acrobat X pro a lot while doing my reading. It allows me to highlight, and add comments to what I am reading for quick review in the future. Is there an app that will allow me to do the same thing for Android 4.0+?
Thanks for asking Jerry. Glad to hear that you’re using Acrobat X Pro! At this time the only Acrobat-related product available for Android is Adobe Reader, which doesn’t have the ability to edit PDF documents. Unfortunately you cannot highlight or add comments to a PDF with Adobe Reader for Android, though we’re hoping to add more features, including commenting at some point in the future.
How about “create PDF” from html?
Thought it was there, but nah.
Thanks for reaching out, you can find more information on creating PDF from HTML here: http://adobe.ly/lFKnX6
When I open a pdf page in my iPhone 4s, the reader does not display any of the comments or highlights. Any advise is appreciated. I am using Adobe Reader that came with iPhone.
Comments and highlighted text should display just fine. Please update your version of Adobe Reader for iOS by visiting this link or through the App Store interface. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
Thanks, Adobe for quick reply. I am still struggling to fix this problem even after your suggestion. Is there a version of Acrobat Pro X that can be installed on new iPad? Thanks again.
Once a document is converted to a pdf, is there an option to save it to dropbox?
Hi bconway, there is no integration with Dropbox™ built into Reader X for Mobile. Feel free to share your feature request with us here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I am Sorry but ‘open in Adobe create pdf’ neverwinter appears in my iPad 2. What should I do ?

I use Microsoft office in windows. I have iPad and an app which can read and edit word, excel files on the iPad. Can I use create PDF app for my files created in windows pc. Of course this means I have to transfer the files between the two operating systems
Absolutely SanJog, there is a version of Adobe Reader you can download to your iPad allowing you to view the PDF files created from Adobe CreatePDF (https://createpdf.acrobat.com/app.html). And, of course, these PDF files can be viewed on any computer – windows or mac. Please let us know if you have any follow up questions.
I want to convert multiple images to create one PDF file. The images are stored on my iPhone in my pictures folder. How do I accomplish this? There is no option to start a new PDF in this app.
Hi Chloe. Unfortunately the CreatePDF for iOS app doesn’t support the creation of PDFs from multiple images at this time. Feel free to respond to the engineering team with this feature request on this forum thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/897679 Sorry for the inconvenience.
Adobe CreatPDF (for iOS) appears to no longer be available on the iTunes store. Does anyone know what has happened?
Hi Adriel, unfortunately the CreatePDF for iOS app is no longer on the market. Please see this post from Product Manager, Dennis Griffin: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4969273#4969273
I have problems opening .pdfs created in windows on my Ipad 2. The ones created from .docs or .docx open fine, but the ones created from excel or other spreadsheet applications don’t open or if they do, they open with a blank screen and I usually need to restrart the ipad to clear the buffer. Any suggestions or recommendations on how to resolve this problem? Thank you.
Hi Mark. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Can you confirm that you were opening your PDFs within Adobe Reader and not the native PDF viewer (Preview) built into iOS? Could you also share a sample file with us here.
