I currently have an older version of Acrobat Pro that I purchased installed on my computer.  If I purchase the Creative Cloud complete with all the Adobe apps will the Creative Cloud version of Acrobat overwrite my older Acrobat Pro?  My wife likes the older version and I prefer the newer.

Thank you

You can have only one version of Acrobat Pro on the system, no matter how they are purchased/subscribed.

After your wife gets accustomed to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat DC, she won't miss the old one.

Hi

You do not have to install Acrobat DC when you purchase Creative Cloud, but TSN said, you can only have one installed.

Tell your wife that the end of life for Acrobat XI was in October 2017, meaning there are no security updates, leaving your system vulnerable.
