Download acrobat pro desktop without cloud

I have a subscription to Acrobat Pro, and a Windows 11 computer.  I want to download the Acrobat Pro to my desktop, WITHOUT cloud services.

My disc drive is nearly full and that app is bloatware.  I just want Acrobat Pro.

But every download I found has Cloud Services bundled with the installer, and I could not find any with the option to deselect that.

Hello @McMartin45,


I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble you had.


Please note that you do NOT need Creative Cloud Desktop to use Acrobat Pro. Adobe provides standalone installers for Acrobat on Windows. However, you still need to sign in with your Adobe ID to activate your subscription after installation.

Use this URL to download Acrobat: https://adobe.ly/43j3d3M

You can use the Acrobat Cleaner tool to remove the currently installed app, then restart the machine, and install the Acrobat from the direct URL.


Let us know if you experience any issues.

Regards,

Anand Sri.
