Getting Started

Acrobat Reader DC delivers one-click integration with Adobe Scan and as well as enterprise-class PDF workflow features. Enterprise configuration options support managing your work and personal files as needed. An intuitive user interface works similarly across phones, desktop, and the browser. Now you can start a collaborative review at work, check review status and comment PDFs on the train, and access any PDF workflow on the web.

Enterprise administrators can configure and deploy mobile apps so that work and personal files are managed separately in secure environments. Other options include controlling access to Adobe Document Cloud as well as 3rd party cloud storage solutions as well as other common settings for both MAM and MDM environments.

Whether you’re at work or on the go, your files are simply accessible whenever you need them:

  • Mobile: Manage work and personal files from any location on your phone or tablet.
  • Web: Access files on Adobe Document Cloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or any other location accessible on your device.
  • Desktop: Sign in to desktop Acrobat to see all your latest files.

Manage DC subscriptions

Adobe’s free Acrobat DC mobile apps allow you to easily share files across your mobile devices, desktop, and the cloud, initiate and participate in reviews, share files, scan, sign, and so on. Additional features are available as subscription services, including creating PDFs, exporting PDFs to other formats, and editing PDFs.
