Installing Acrobat Pro DC over stand alone version

[jeffreywilens]

I currently have licensed classic version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017.  If I upgrade to the comparable DC subscription program, should I unstall the class version first or will it simply update my current version and retain custom settings for things like stamps, customized Quick Tools on the tools bar, etc.?  What about pinned documents?

Hello @jeffreywilens 

Thank you for getting in touch.

To ensure the best experience with our application, it is recommended to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one. To do so, we suggest using the Acrobat cleaner tool, which can be found on our website at https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html. Once you have completed the uninstallation process, please remember to reboot your computer.

After the reboot, you can install our application's latest version using the direct link: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html. This will ensure that you have the most up-to-date and reliable version of our software.

Hope that this process will provide you with a seamless experience.

Regards
