Hi everyone,

Is there a way to switch from Adobe Acrobat Standard to Adobe Acrobat Reader in a corporate environment without fully uninstalling Acrobat Standard? We want to downgrade or revert to Reader without removing the application entirely.

We use MS Intune for software deployment, so any guidance on managing this transition efficiently would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If you log out from the account that has the subscription to Acrobat it should revert to Reader.

Dear TRY67,

I had already tested signing out from the account, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work as expected.

After signing out, the application closes automatically, and upon restarting, it continues to close repeatedly unless I sign in again.

When I sign in again, a "Subscription Expired" message appears in the bottom left corner. I am not able to revert to Reader mode. Thank you for your suggestion!

Hi @Bernadett24388392ue8y,

Acrobat requires sign-in before you perform any operations. You may try installing Reader instead.

If you are an IT admin, you may reach out to your dedicated support. They may provide information on how to run Acrobat in reduced mode functionality.
