When you subscribe to Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard, you pay a monthly or annual fee based on the plan you choose. Regular updates will ensure your product is the current release of Acrobat. You will not need to upgrade your product as long as you keep your subscription current.

No. Adobe has discontinued selling perpetual versions of Acrobat after Acrobat 2020. However, if you would like a non-subscription version of Acrobat, Acrobat Classic desktop software provides three years of paid access to Acrobat desktop and is available as a one-time, upfront purchase. It includes quarterly security updates but does not include Acrobat feature enhancements or access to premium Acrobat online services via your web browser and mobile devices.

Yes. Many Acrobat tools and utilities are available to streamline enterprise deployments and help control IT costs. To learn more, visit the IT resources page.

See the Acrobat system requirements page for information.

Yes. At Adobe, the security of your digital experiences is our priority. Whether related to identity management, data confidentiality, or document integrity, Adobe employs industry-standard security practices to protect your documents, data, and personal information. For additional information about our security practices, the Adobe Secure Product Lifecycle, or Adobe Document Cloud solution security, see www.adobe.com/security.

An Individual subscription is a single license meant for use by one user. A Team subscription allows an organization to purchase more than one license and manage those licenses among users in an Admin Console.

If you have a business and need to manage just a few licenses among users, the Acrobat team subscription might be a good option and can be purchased directly. For larger businesses and enterprises that have more complex deployment and administrative needs, we have volume licensing options available to choose from. Request a contact from Adobe Enterprise Sales, or contact an Adobe Authorized Reseller.
