What’s my best option for buying Acrobat?

Subscription plans are the best way to take advantage of everything Acrobat has to offer. New annual and month-to-month subscription plans make Acrobat more affordable than ever, while also giving you access to premium Adobe Document Cloud services. If you own Acrobat Pro XI – or Acrobat Standard XI – you also qualify for a reduced price when purchasing a perpetual (one-time) license. A one-time purchase includes desktop software and lets you work with free Adobe Document Cloud services only.

See the Acrobat product comparison to review subscription and one-time purchase options. You can also view the Acrobat version comparison to understand how Acrobat differs from previous versions.
