How to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro without subscription.

I would like to purchase the software (a perpetual license) without a subscription. I am unable to see the option on the Adobe website. I would be happy with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but that is no longer available and supported. Does anyone have suggestions?

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

You can purchase Acrobat Pro 2020 and Acrobat Standard 2020 by contacting your Adobe Authorized Reseller.

If you would like the most updated non-subscription version of Acrobat, Acrobat Classic desktop software provides three years of paid access to Acrobat desktop and is available as a one-time, upfront purchase. Learn more at Adobe Acrobat Classic FAQ.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

The solution offered only takes you to the subscription page.

Perhaps the question was not understood.

How do you get Adobe with a one time purchase WITH NO SUBSCRIPTION?

The question was certainly understood and answered. However, Adobe are forever rearranging their web site to hide the non-subscription product ever more. If you can find "Acrobat 2020", which Adobe don't want you to do, then that's what you need.

I had this same problem and DID finally find the flat out "buy it" instead of subscription. ($445!) Just use the search bar to type in Adobe Pro 2020, and it's one of the two options that comes up. For that amount of money, I'm going to look into a few other third party products, as all I REALLY need is just the Form editor.

$449??!! I've been using an Education Edition of Acrobat 8 for years. Has Adobe lost their minds?? First I can no longer activate my copy after I changed computers and now you want $449? Way to screw your customers.

You can still get a discount for Educational staff and students. See:

Greetings! This solution is not actually a solution, because all of the steps described above lead ONLY to monthly subscription options. The one-time purchase options described above cannot be reached by following the steps described above.

Please advise

The official reply I got from Adobe is that this is a mistake that affects the US only and should be fixed within a few days. In the meantime you can purchase Acrobat 2020 via the phone.
