Acrobat for Windows and Mac: PDF Forms

JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

Installing Acrobat Pro plus Acrobat Reader is a necessity

PDF forms developpers needs to test their forms (created with Acrobat Pro) with Acrobat Reader, so we need to have Acrobat Pro AND Acrobat Reader on the same computer.

Preventing us from doing so is a nonsense that forces us to use competing software (Foxit or PDF Studio).

    I would be fine with just being able to install Acrobat Pro DC if it just functioned as a reader until you unlocked the full suite by logging in.

    I need to confirm that my PDF forms work properly with Adobe Reader, which is what most of the members of my organization have. I have installed the 64-bit version Please update one or both programs so that they can coexist on my PC, currently running Windows 10.

    I would definitely agree. I have two jobs and one has a full creative cloud license for Acrobat and the other only has the free Reader product. Now I can't get the reader to work without it bothering me to pay for a full license for the one job that only have the free product. This is a real pain... I might find some other product and recommend to the employer who has the paid license to abandon Adobe all together....

    The removal / merge of Reader when you install Acrobat is causing major issues in Enterprise, Many helpdesk tickets raised asking where reader has gone, errors showing on SCCM as reader wont install if Acrobat via creative cloud is installed. Creative Cloud Acrobat installer get stuck at 83% if reader is present on the system. Please have them as stand alone as they were before.

    I have two different accounts which require two different installations in the same system as Acrobat disallows for concurrent login in different devises!!.

    it is highly important for adobe customers and users to have this option. please don't let us down or have it after longtime.
