I am not a computer guru.  I have 53 pages of documents that I need to do a good little bit of editing in.  I have just purchased Acrobat Pro PC subscription so I can edit but can't figure out what to do next.  I don't understand computerese. I printed off ideas on how to do it and the very first instruction is 1. Open the scanned PDF file in Acrobat DC.  I don't even know how to do that.  Where do I go to open a PDF file in Acrobat DC?  Do I enter www.acrobatprodc.com in the address field?

Acrobat DC is a desktop application (not something of the "cloud"). You pay for the license to use the application (a one time payment for a "perpetual" license or a subscription). With that taken care of you download the installer, install, register, etc.

To open a PDF - launch Acrobat > do a traditional "file - open" > browse to the PDF and select it.

For PDF content that is the output of a scanner (an image) from scanned text on paper you'd use Acrobat's OCR feature to create an output of regular text (use the "Clear Scan" choice). You can use Acrobat's edit tools to work over the content or use Acrobat to export the OCR output to TXT, RTF, DOC or DOCX. Use a word processor to cleanup the exported content. Create a fresh PDF.

Be well...
