Windows installers are self-extracting exe files. Run the downloaded .exe file to extract the installer files to an Adobe Acrobat folder on your desktop. To install Acrobat on Windows, do the following:

1. Open the Adobe Acrobat folder you extracted from the downloaded .exe file and run Setup.exe to start the installation. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your serial number.
2. After installation is complete, launch Acrobat and sign in with your Adobe ID. 

To install Acrobat on macOS, install the downloaded installer package. The macOS installers are .pkg type installers that provide the necessary user interface prompts to run.

After installation is complete, launch Acrobat and sign in with your Adobe ID.
