Question

MacOS - Reader App Was Installed from Creative Cloud & Can't Be Upgraded (User is Licensed for Pro)

I have access to my company’s admin management portal. There’s a user who is licensed with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I downloaded/installed Creative Cloud and then went to install Acrobat Pro from there. However, Reader was installed. Whether in the Reader app or in CC, I don’t see an option to upgrade to Pro. The user is able to edit in the web interface as a temporary workaround, but would like to be able to use the Pro app. Is there a separate macOS installer anyone has for Pro that I can try, rather than what’s on CC or Adobe’s website? Or know where else I can go to get an installer?
