Can I use my Adobe programs online instead of downloading to my desktop?

Well,  I bought the whole package!. per month. However, I was hoping to NOT download all of the programs nor even any to my computer but log-in to my account and use them online. Does anyone know if this is this possible?

Much thanks in advance!

    hamamasha I see that you have subscribed for Creative Cloud complete membership. What you are willing to do, can be partially achieve and that it to for only Acrobat.

    As suggested by try67, some on commands (such creating new PDF files, exporting existing PDF files to other formats) of Acrobat can be accessed online via web browser Adobe Document Cloud  but the would only help in case of Acrobat services.

    For other CC apps services you have to download the application into your system.

    Thanks,

    I too would like this since the downloaded apps, for us subscribers, are filled with bad errors, glitches and complete freeze ups and destructed forms. It is a bit of a train wreck. Does Adobe plan on making is great again, or is this a dying software?

      You can do some commands online, such creating new PDF files, exporting existing PDF files to other formats, and basic page manipulations (add pages, delete pages, move pages around, rotated pages, etc.), but for any serious editing tasks you would need to use the local application.

        There are some online features like PDF export, but despite the “cloud” name it is a local app.
