We are trying to install Acrobat DC on an ipad. We've purchased Acrobat as a Creative Cloud subscription.

The ipad is through Verizon and is version 10.3.2 (14F90).

Acrobat isn't listed in Creative Cloud after in installed it on the ipad. I called support and they said that I had to use the forum for support. They also said that Acrobat doesn't install through Creative Cloud and to look for it in the app store. I don't see it in the app store when I search on anything that has to do with adobe, acrobat, or acrobat dc.

Is it possible to install acrobat on an ipad?

Adobe Support should have been able to quickly answer this question and not have sent you here!

Nonetheless, the answer is simple.

Acrobat DC Pro is only installable on Windows or MacOS. Acrobat DC Standard is only installable on Windows. For iOS and Android, the only software we provide is the free Adobe Acrobat Reader Mobile. There are some added value functions within this software that are indeed available if you have a Creative Cloud or Document Cloud subscription and logon with your Adobe ID. But the full functionality of Adobe Acrobat is not available on iPad at this time.

You can install Adobe Acrobat Reader. Search for "Adobe Acrobat Reader".

Today on phone support with Adobe I was PROMISED that if I purchased Acrobat Pro I would be able to both add and read all comments on PDF documents on my iPad.  I can add comments but I can't figure out how to look at all of them and no one at Adobe has the slightest idea how to help me on this.  Is it even possible to do on the iPad or am I just wasting my time?

Thanks.

You can read comments on screen as part of the document. Is it the popups you want to read?
