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.

Note: To use Adobe Acrobat on your own device, you must have a Creative Cloud login issued by your course. Otherwise you may use the free Adobe Reader, which does not allow editing.

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