Learn How to Start Adobe Acrobat Free Trial Risk-Free

Adobe Acrobat is a PDF productivity tool that you can use to create, edit, share, convert, and export PDF files on your desktop, laptop, and mobile devices. Compared to its free counterpart—Adobe Reader—the paid software comes with various added functionalities, including scanning paper documents.

Adobe Acrobat is available as a standalone product in two variants— Standard DC and Pro DC—and as a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Can You Sign Up for the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Free Trial?

Yes, you can, but Adobe has made the entire process as convoluted as possible. There are three different pages that offer an Adobe Acrobat free trial:

1. Adobe Acrobat DC page
2. Adobe Acrobat Pro page
3. Creative Cloud downloads page

The question begs itself—why did Adobe overcomplicate everything? From the looks of it, to get you to spend as much money as possible after the free trial ends.

The two versions of the program—Standard and Pro—include different features. Adobe Standard DC only allows you to create, edit, and sign PDFs and can only be used on Windows devices. It lacks critical features such as converting other formats into PDFs or sharing the reports.

The Pro version of the software is available on both PC and Mac computers, tablets, or mobile phones. It can convert images, web pages, scans, and Microsoft 365 files to PDFs. You can also edit images, sign, fill, and send out live reviews of your documents and share your reviews with ease to gather feedback, track status, and collect signatures.

Another big difference is that there’s no free trial for Adobe Standard DC, and you have to commit to the monthly subscription before checking out the tool. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC comes with a seven-day free trial that gives you an opportunity to try out all the features.

DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card Can Help You Avoid Automatic Renewals

How many times did you forget to unsubscribe before the free trial expired and ended up paying for the service you didn't want? You do longer need to worry about that because DoNotPay has a solution for you—our Virtual Credit Card.
