I have had a copy of Acrobat X for a coupl eo fyears now and used it a little - basically to convert something into a pdf. Now I find I have a great need for creating forms in X. Are all the support files and tutorials taken down by Adobe as the relase each new version or.... they hidden where a mere mortal such as myself cannot find them. I'm old school - I am not wild about the new subscription model. I like to buy my software and that's that.

Thanks for any input and guidance!

Hi John,

Sometimes you just have to go to the search gods to get what you need/want. Using the search phrase "how to create forms in acrobat x" I came up with many many many results. Here are a few off the top. BTW, the easiest way I've found to create forms is from InDesign, but that would require a subscription to InDesign. But, there's nothing stopping you from doing in Acrobat X and there is a plentiful amount of instruction online.

Good luck!

Just FYI: You can still get Acrobat as a "perpetual license", without a subscription.

The current version for that is called Acrobat 2020, available here:

Thanks for your reply... I am confused about the pepetual license thing. Is this an updated version of Acrobat for free or ?? Can you clue me in a little more?

Thank you so much!

It does appear the most recent version you CAN get for a

perpetual license is 2 years old. That's why I assumed you cannot get it. That's why I assumed that it was no longer available.

That's not quite accurate, either. This version has been updated multiple times since then. Not as frequently as Acrobat DC, but it's not a 2-year old version...
