Yeah, I am sure they also upload the metadata of every PDF file you save / open in Acrobat (I am sure Apple Books also does this) and I just find the whole Apple iDevice ecosystem irritatingly intrusive as hell for this reason - they deliberately do not have an application firewall for Wifi that would plug all such data leak.
That said, there are some use cases where Acrobat may need such permission for their "pro" version:
- Contacts: For sharing and / or collaborating on a PDF file.
- Photos / Media / Files: For editing or authoring a PDF file.
- Camera: For converting a photo of a document into a PDF file. For inserting a photo (e.g. signature) into a PDF file.
- Wi-Fi connection: For syncing / storing a PDF file into their "cloud".
But even if they do actually need these permissions, it should still work as a "Reader" / viewer without these permissions and / or demand permission only when a feature needs those permission, instead of a blanket opt-in.
