Get answers to frequently asked questions about downloading Adobe Acrobat.
You can install and activate Acrobat on up to two computers. If you need to install and activate it on a third computer, you must deactivate it on one of your previous computers. Don't worry, the Acrobat installer will guide you through this process with onscreen instructions.
You can download and install a free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to view, collaborate on, and annotate PDF files. However, if you need more advanced capabilities such as editing PDFs or converting them to other file formats like Excel or Word, you'll need to purchase a subscription to either Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Acrobat Standard.
If you can't find the downloaded file, do the following:
- Windows: Open File Explorer and select the Downloads folder in the navigation pane. Locate the downloaded EXE file and run it to begin the installation process.
- macOS: Open Finder and select the Downloads folder in the navigation pane. Locate the downloaded DMG file and run it to begin the installation process.
