End of support for Adobe Acrobat XI and Reader XI

As stated in the Adobe Support Lifecycle Policy, Adobe provides five years of product support, starting from the general availability date of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. In line with this policy, support for Adobe Acrobat 11.x and Adobe Reader 11.x ends on October 15, 2017.

End of support means that Adobe no longer provides technical support, including product and/or security updates, for all derivatives of a product or product version (localized versions, minor upgrades, operating systems, dot and double-dot releases, and connector products).

Recommendations

Adobe strongly recommends that you update to the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader. By updating installations to the latest versions, you benefit from the latest functional enhancements and improved security measures.

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.
