Install Acrobat

Last updated on Sep 23, 2025

Learn how to download and install Adobe Acrobat using the Acrobat 64-bit Installer or the Acrobat Unified Installer on your computer.

The Acrobat 64-bit Installer provides a standalone installation of Acrobat on Windows, while the Acrobat Unified Installer combines Acrobat and Reader into a single package for easier deployment and management. The Acrobat Unified Installer is ideal for users who need both applications together but does not support serial number-based licensing.

To set up Adobe Acrobat on your system, you can download the Acrobat 64-bit Installer for Windows or the Acrobat Unified Installer for macOS and follow the installation instructions. After installation, sign in with your Adobe ID to access features based on your subscription—Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro.

Note

To install a full version of Acrobat that requires a mandatory sign-in, you can get the package via Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application (CCDA).

Download Acrobat 64-bit Installer and open it from your notifications or the Downloads folder.

Select Extract all from the top menu and choose a destination folder for the extracted files.

Note

Do not run setup directly from the installer ZIP file, as it may cause installation errors.

Open the extracted Adobe Acrobat folder and double-click setup.

The Adobe Acrobat installer file components are displayed and the setup file is highlighted in orange. — If you extracted the installer file components to a different folder, navigate to that folder and open Adobe Acrobat.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
