How can I purchase Adobe Acrobat DC without the subscription?
Acrobat DC is subscription-only, by definition, so you can't do that. You can, however, purchase Acrobat 2020, without a subscription. Follow these instructions I compiled:
Go to the Adobe Products Page (https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html) and sort the products by name by clicking the "A-Z" button on the right.

Is this solution still available? I sort the list at that link alphabetically but I don't see anything that says "Acrobat Pro 2020" nor do I see anything but subscription options when I click on "buy now"
Thanks,

I can't find it either. It seems they've decided to make it even more difficult to get, bordering on impossible.
I guess you'll have to contact them directly to get it now:
