Can Acrobat DC be installed and run without having the Creative Cloud Desktop Application Installed?

We have found that the creative cloud desktop application causes a lot of battery drain on our laptops. Most of our users need only Acrobat DC installed and nothing else. Is it possible to install and use Acrobat without also having to install the desktop creative cloud application?

Thank you!

Hello, thank you for the answer above. I just tried it, but I already have the app installed. It would not let me install it again, so I assume I have to uninstall the cloud acrobat version 1st, then install as you have explained? And, if I may...can I do  the same for Photop and my other subscription apps?
