Question

Acrobat Classic

Hello

 

We are currently using Acrobat 2020 Perpetual which is coming to end of life soon (just seen support has been extended until Nov 25) What is everyone replacing it with?

 

We were thinking of replacing it with Acrobat Classic, but can't find anywhere if this version includes the redact tool?

 

Can anyone help confirm or deny if this is true?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @rhysie_boy, 

 

Thanks for reaching out. 
Acrobat Classic contains the redact tool. The main difference you will find among tools is between the Standard and Pro variant: https://adobe.ly/442DFZP

 

Wait for more input from the expert users. Let us know if you have further questions.

Hi @Tariq Ahmad , are you saying that Classic matches the Standard feature set?

Hi @Dave Creamer of IDEAS 

 

Great question, David. 
The main difference between the Classic variant is licensing and feature updates. Classic is a one-time purchase and doesn't receive feature updates throughout the life cycle. Also, it doesn't include Online services like AI assistant, Acrobat Web features.  
 

Hope that answers the question.
