If you want to download Acrobat DC subscription, Download and install Acrobat DC subscription

If you want to download Acrobat DC non-subscription Download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC | Non-subscription

In either case, you will need to first log in with your Adobe ID.

If you have a problem downloading Acrobat DC with either one of those links, you can go to https://prodesigntools.com/acrobat-dc-2019-direct-download-links.html

If you have a subscription to Adobe CC, you can install Acrobat DC from the Adobe Creative Cloud app.

I have both Adobe Reader and Acrobat installed. Since most people only have Reader, when I'm working on a project for a client I like to test it in Reader. That way I know that my PDF will work correctly for them.

First, I thought I was directed to the ftp page where I could download the install file where I could choose the installation destination. Turned out to be for the reader. Didn’t see until instal was finished. So... I need the ftp link for acrobat Pro DC so I can use that install program. Changing preferences in CC did not have the desired effect  . I then plan to uninstall reader since it was not what I was looking for and don’t need it.

Why would you want to install both Reader and Acrobat Pro? Acrobat Pro is a superset of Reader. Reader isn't needed at all if you have Acrobat Pro installed!
