Is Acrobat DC included in my Creative Cloud subscription?

I have a yearly Creative Cloud subscription, which includes Acrobat XI. I'm being prompted by Creative Cloud to update to Acrobat DC, but when I start the update process, there is a dialog box warning that, "Installing a trial of Adobe Acrobat DC will uninstall previous versions of Acrobat. This will deactivate any license for those versions." Why is the Acrobat DC update being called a "trial"? Is  Acrobat DC included in my Creative Cloud subscription? (I've searched online and cannot find a definitive answer.) I don't want to loose Acrobat XI during the update and then find that Acrobat DC is going to be an additional monthly charge. Making this even murkier for me is the fact that Adobe categorizes Acrobat DC under the broader Document Cloud category, rather than under the broader Creative Cloud category, making me worry further that Acrobat DC may not be included in my CC subscription.

The included apps are clearly listed here: Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan | Professional photo editing software

I don't see how that is "playing" in any way...

Just chatted with Adobe agent:

Acrobat is NOT included with the photo subscription.

Bummer. But Adobe is infamous for playing that way.

I am confused by Adobe plan descriptions. I have the same question!

Yes. Acrobat Pro DC is included in Creative Cloud All Apps Plan.
Here is the link to check the pricing:

Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud


If Acrobat Pro DC is included in the Creative Cloud All Apps plan, then why isn't it mentioned amongst the apps in the list of included apps? All I see is Adobe Acrobat, not tthe DC version. Or are they the same? Adobe certainly doesn't make this clear. Is Adobe Acrobat the same as Adobe Acrobat DC? If so, then why haven't they updated the name to include the "DC"? It's understandable why there's confusion. I'm simply wanting to know if the new E-Signature functionality is available in Adobe Acrobat and included in my all apps plan (which I pay around $53 a month for). Can you please confirm? Thanks.

Addendum: I can find this on Adobe's Acrobat DC FAQ page:

Can I get Document Cloud services if I’m an active Creative Cloud Member?

Yes. Many Creative Cloud plans include Acrobat Pro DC with Document Cloud services. Explore Creative Cloud plans.


However, if I follow the link to Creative Cloud plans, there is nothing to tell me whether Acrobat Proc DC is included in any of the plans. My plan is a yearly individual at $49.99/month.
