No. Adobe discontinued selling perpetual versions of Acrobat after Acrobat 2020. However, if you would like a non-subscription version of Acrobat, Acrobat Pro 2024 desktop software is a one-time, upfront purchase that provides three years of access to Acrobat desktop. It includes quarterly security updates but does not include Acrobat feature enhancements or access to Acrobat online services via your web browser and mobile devices.

Acrobat gives you seamless and highly secure sharing, real-time commenting, and PDF tools that make collaborating on documents easier than ever. You can create knowledge hubs in PDF Spaces where the entire team can add files and work together to build strong work.

The best way to integrate document workflows with cloud storage is by using Acrobat’s built-in support for popular cloud services. Acrobat works seamlessly with:

• Acrobat Document Cloud: Access your files from anywhere, send links for review, and sync changes across devices.
• Third-party cloud storage: Connect to OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and more directly within Acrobat.

Users can open and save files from cloud storage without leaving Acrobat – no need to download or upload manually. Real-time collaboration is enabled by sharing cloud-stored PDFs with others for commenting and review. Files can be organized and stored securely using version history and permission controls supported by your cloud provider.

Acrobat helps automate your PDF workflows by streamlining repetitive tasks and reducing manual effort through built-in tools and integrations. Key automation features include:

• Action Wizard (in Acrobat Pro): Create and run custom sequences of tasks, like OCR, redaction, watermarking and file conversion on multiple PDFs at once.
• Batch processing: Apply the same edits, optimizations, or security settings across multiple documents automatically.
• Cloud-based workflows: Use Acrobat online and Adobe Document Cloud to send, sign, and track documents from anywhere with automated notifications and reminders.
• Integrations with Microsoft 365 and other apps: Automate PDF creation, editing, and signing directly within tools you already use.
• AI-powered features: Auto-tagging for accessibility, content recognition, and smart form field detection to reduce setup time.

Acrobat makes it easy to manage and automate document review and collaboration, reducing the need for back-and-forth emails and manual edits. With Acrobat, you can:

• Share PDFs for review via a secure link, no attachments needed.
• Collect comments in one place, in real time, from multiple reviewers.
• Use automatic version tracking to keep everyone on the same page.
• Receive notifications when reviewers add feedback or complete their review.
• Work seamlessly with Microsoft Teams and Outlook to manage reviews within your existing workflow.
• Use AI Assistant to quickly review content and contracts, compare document versions, generate summaries, uncover insights and key data, and more.
