How do I log into Adobe Acrobat to read and edit PDF files?

University PCs and laptops have Adobe Acrobat installed, which allows you to read and edit PDF files.

If you are using your own device, you can use Adobe Acrobat if you have a Creative Cloud login from your course.  Otherwise you need to use Adobe Reader, which does not allow editing.

To use Adobe Acrobat on a university device, you must log in:

  1. Go the the computer's start menu or search bar and look for the Adobe Acrobat iconImage showing Adobe Acrobat app found by using the PC search bar
