Is there a way to download Acrobat Pro to my PC without downloading the Creative Cloud Desktop?

I have had Creative Cloud for years and just discovered that it was what has been causing my computer to lock up so (after A LOT of frustration) I removed it. I still need Acrobat PRO on my PC though and I can only find download options that also contain creative cloud. Does anyone know of a way to get around this? TIA!!!

Unfortunately this is not working and I'm not very tech savvy so if you can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi there 

 

Hope you are doing well.

 

If you already have the Acrobat Application installed on your computer, you can simply remove/uninstall the Creative Cloud Application from your computer via the Control Panel. 

 

If you want to install the the Acrobat application, please follow the steps as below:

 

  • Download and extract one of the following ZIP files based on your Windows version: from here (https://adobe.ly/4nIIqhR )

  • Select setup.exe file.

  • Double-click the setup.exe  file to start the installation

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

 
Note: Do not run the setup.exe file from within the installer zip file as you might encounter errors during installation.
