Installation Instructions

 

Use the following instructions to install new software or to upgrade from a previous version. If you are installing an upgrade, you may be required to provide proof of ownership.

To install Adobe Acrobat DC in Windows

 

1. Restart Windows and turn off any antivirus software.

 

2. Connect the machine to the Internet.

 

3. Start the installation:

  • If you purchased Acrobat on a DVD, insert the DVD.
  • If you purchased Acrobat as a download, download your package to a location on your hard disk drive.

 

Adobe recommends you back up your download package, preferably to a DVD before installing the software. When you double-click on the .exe to decompress it:

 

<system drive>:\users\<user name>\Desktop\Adobe Acrobat DC folder

or

<system drive>:\users\<user name>\Desktop\Adobe Acrobat 2015 folder

 

 is created on the desktop.

 

When ready to install, open the folder and double-click setup.exe.

 

The installer screen appears in the same language as your machine’s operating system and shows information about Serial Number/Trial installation, PDF ownership and the updater. Be sure to set your machine’s operating system to either English or the language that you purchased.

 

4. Input your serial number or install in Trial Mode. The serial number for individually licensed purchases is located on the outside of the DVD case, or on the receipt page for electronic software download (ESD) purchases made online, for example, through the Adobe Store. You can also locate the serial number for individually licensed ESD purchases in your online order history at http://www.adobe.com. The serial number for purchases made through the Adobe Licensing Website is available in your record at http://licensing.adobe.com.

 

5. For a customized install, for example, to change the application’s folder location, click the “Customize” button and select the folder where you want the application installed.

 

Click “install”. Installation now proceeds.

 

6. If there are processes running that conflict with the installation, the installer requires them to be closed before you can continue the installation. Close the processes and then click in the installer to continue the installation.

 

7. The last dialogue is “Setup Completed”; click “Finish” or click “Launch Now” to launch Acrobat.

 

First Launch and Adobe ID Entry Instructions

 

1. On application launch, the Sign in Required dialog appears. Click Sign In Now and provide a valid Adobe ID in the Sign In screen.

 

2. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, follow the prompts to create one.

 

3. Click “Sign In”.

 

4. Next, accept the end user license agreement. Acrobat should now be usable.

 

5. If you installed in Trial mode, a 30 day trial screen with Start Trial button will appear after the EULA is accepted. Click the Start Trial button to start the trial. After launch a Trial screen appears once a day indicating the number of days left in the Trial. After 30 days the Trial will end, and you can only use the software to view PDF files and perform basic tasks like commenting, fill-in forms, and sign.

To uninstall Acrobat DC in Windows
