Ask HN: How to get rid of Adobe Acrobate subscription without cancellation fees?
After using Foxit PDF for a long time, I decided to check out Adobe Acrobat and gave them my credit card for a monthly subscription. I had thought I will cancel it. But it costs a lot to cancel, especially for someone like me from a developing country. Furthermore, its a substandard product, hangs all the time, at least as compared to NitroPDF and Foxit.
I am unable to find an email or contact to directly reach out to their sales team to waive the cancellation charges either.
Any help will be appreciated.
- ykat7 5y agoI got stung by this a while back and got Adobe to waive the cancellation fee and close my account over live chat.

- tucaz 5y agoYou mean the annual subscription you chose to pay monthly because it was cheaper than the actual monthly subscription?

- cddotdotslash 5y agoI think the point is that you should have chosen the monthly plan that allowed cancellations during the year. You specifically chose an annual plan, so if you want to cancel you'll owe a cancellation fee.
