This may be a crazy question but my adobe account is fixing to renew and I pay for the Adobe Acrobat Pro and the Adobe Acrobat PDF pack. Do I need both of these or does the Adobe Acrobat Pro do everything that the Adobe Acrobat PDF pack does?

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

If you already have an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription, you don’t need the Adobe Acrobat PDF Pack. Acrobat Pro includes all the features of the PDF Pack (such as creating, combining, and exporting PDFs) along with many more advanced tools like editing text/images, advanced PDF protection, OCR (text recognition), and more.

In short, Acrobat Pro covers everything the PDF Pack does, plus extra features, For more information, please check the help page https://adobe.ly/45KWX6T

Hope this information will help .

Thank you so much, that $120.00 will come in handy. I purchased the PDF Pack on my work computer just to send contracts for signatures. I also do sublimation prints and my home computer and my program would not let me print them as a PDF so then I purchased the Adobe Acrobat Pro. Been paying for them both for over a year now and it is all coming up for renewal and it had me questioning whether I needed to keep them both.
