In an effort to bring Adobe Acrobat into a consistent state across our managed environment, Departmental Support will be replacing older versions of Adobe Acrobat with Acrobat DC. This activity will standardize the version of Acrobat installed on all systems while addressing licensing issues on a subset of managed computers.
During the installation, Acrobat will close and will be inaccessible for up to 1 hour. Microsoft Edge or Apple Preview are good alternatives to view PDFs until installation is complete. Installations will commence on Thursday March 5th.
Once Acrobat DC is installed, users will need to sign into Adobe Creative Cloud by following instructions here. The Creative Cloud App should be installed as part of this process and admin privelages are not needed.
For computers used by UW–Madison students or guests, please contact DoIT Support and ask them to switch needed computers to a Shared Device License.
