Overview
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC is the fully-featured version of Acrobat that allows users to edit PDFs and perform other advanced functionality with PDFs.
Eligibility
Faculty & Staff: Permanent faculty and staff are granted a Named User license, which permits them to use Acrobat Pro on up to 2 devices. This licensing excludes adjunct faculty and staff who do not use a computer for 50% or more of their job.
Shared Workstations: Staff who do not receive a Named User license and student employees are eligible to use Acrobat Pro on SPU-managed, shared computers. This requires a specially configured installation of Acrobat Pro, which must be coordinated through the CIS HelpDesk.
Computer Labs: Acrobat Pro DC is also installed in some computer labs as part of Creative Cloud, and available in these locations by anyone with an Adobe ID login (which can be created for free).
