I have a subscription to acrobat dc and would like to be able to use it on the road with my iPad Pro. can’t figure out how to download it and don’t see it in the App Store. does anyone know?
To be very specific, the only “Acrobat” application available for either iOS or Android is Adobe Acrobat Reader which is equivalent to the comparable application on Windows and MacOS with a few additional features that are accessible when you have either an Adobe Creative Cloud or Document Cloud subscription. It has nowhere near the functionality of Acrobat Pro DC. Such a product has not been released at this time.

It is an enormous project to convert a large and old Mac app to work on iPad. Adobe just finished Photoshop, which they announced over a year ago, and were probably working on a couple of years before that. So Photoshop on iPad didn't just happen; rather it took years and millions of dollars. Acrobat has a big target audience, I'd say Adobe will be seriously thinking about it. No, I have no inside information, and it will be a closely guarded secret until Adobe decide otherwise.
You know what though. I still doubt Adobe would include XFA support in a "full" Acrobat for iPad. Not supporting the XFA format they invented and promoted seems to have become a bit of a theme.

Software Providers are gradually making advantage of the extra facilities of iPad Pro's. The frequent response that Acrobat Pro is only available via Desktop, may also be changed as further high-end options are realised in the more flexable settings of iPad Pro over Desktop/Laptop. Publishers + Writers/Authors may (soon?) have more hope to look forward to ... That's just looking into one niche industry. The sky is truly the limit, re: countless existing + introduced activities, through AI-ML-3D-Robotics-Drones-Space-SmartTechs-Unicycles...

Are we talking Linux too in here? (drones, robotics, space force, military (AndroidOS = Linux kernel in ARM) architechture, smart watches, smart card readers for Android OS, live USB bootable Linux OS distributions, penetration testing and forensic tools, etc??) Open Source by the way, in the whole sense of free to modify, free to redistribute, free to recompile, free to improve the original code, without breaking the law that is...

Given it's 2020 and Apple just released the new iPad Pro, is there any word on when Adobe will take Acrobat Pro DC and make it compatible with iPad OS. I really need to use the OCR and Bates stamping functions with Acrobat Pro DC.

No, there is no word as to whether Adobe have any plans to do this. Anyone with inside information would have a secrecy agreement. Adobe have found that discussing their plans leads to nothing but trouble (and sometimes lawsuits).

So the adobe app I am paying $120/yr for is worthless on the most sophisticated computer in 2020. Adobe is waste of money. Dumped the app.

An iOS or Android OS mobile app is not designed nor compiled to run in the most sophisticated computer(s).
I would assume this is dependent on how each computer user would preconceive the idea of what the most sophisticated computers really are when compared to very powerful laptops or tablets with Advanced RISC-based machine architecture.

"So the adobe app I am paying $120/yr for is worthless on the most sophisticated computer in 2020." Sophisticated as in "chic, well marketed, desirable" yes. (Further needelessly quarrelsome remarks removed by the author).

Just release DC for iPad. It's So annoying to have to go to my laptop to fill out PDF forms to send for signature. And iPad should be able to fill out a PDF. Apps like dotloop are glitchy as hell. Just let me open a PDF with form fields and fill it out on iPad.
I have to imagine that there's some sort of difficulty or reason that it hasn't been released yet considering how stupid it would be to just assume none of us need this on the road ability.

On the iPad you can fill PDF forms with Acrobat Reader.
