As of 11/6/2024 our installations of adobe acrobat and adobe reader have been merged into a single Adobe Acrobat application. You will need to Activate and Sign into your Adobe account to receive the traditional Acrobat features. Any instance that is not signed into will retain the traditional feature set of Adobe Reader. This article covers the steps on how to active your Adobe ID and Sign into Acrobat. 

If you only need Adobe Reader capabilities you do not need to complete any additional steps.

Section 1 - Activate your Adobe ID

Note: Missouri Slope only licenses users based on their need for Acrobat features. You must request access to Acrobat from Missouri Slope IT before you can complete any of the following steps. If you had access to Acrobat prior to 11/6/2024, your account has been issued and setup details have been mailed to you.

1. Locate and open your activation email from Adobe. 

2. Select the "Get Started" option from the email (The Action Link is provided by Adobe and they may change this call to action over time)

3. Follow the prompts from Adobe to complete setup of your account. Normally this will be email, name, password and email verification steps. 

4. Once your account creation is complete you can stop.
You do not need to download or install Acrobat on Missouri Slope's systems. The application is already installed and ready for you to use. 

Section 2 - Activate Acrobat Features

1. Open Adobe Acrobat from the Start Menu

2. Select "Sign in" from the upper right of the application

3. Follow Adobe's sign in process. You should use your AdobeID credentials that you created during the process from Section 1.
