  1. Adobe Reader DC and Acrobat DC Cleaner Tool AcroCleaner for DC and later. This download provides the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool for Windows and Mac. THIS TOOL IS NOT FOR USE WITH ANY CREATIVE SUITE PRODUCTS INCLUDING SUITES THAT CONTAIN ACROBAT. IT CAN ONLY BE USED WITH STANDALONE VERSIONS OF ACROBAT AND ADOBE READER.
  2. Make your job easier with Adobe Acrobat DC, the trusted PDF creator. Use Acrobat PDF software to convert, edit and sign PDF files at your desk or on the go. Speed business processes and let employees work anywhere with all-new Adobe Acrobat DC products and Adobe Document Cloud.
  3. I installed Mac Catalina and it won't load my trusty Acrobat Pro. So I upgraded to this new Acrobat DC Pro, and it was supposed to install. Yet every time I try to install it, it hangs at 9.2%. I can never get it past this point. Acrobat hangs at 9.2%. This is very annoying.
  4. Adobe Document Cloud services, which let you complete essential PDF tasks with the Acrobat Reader mobile app or in your web browser, including storing and sharing files online. Document Cloud services also enable complete workflows for sending, e-signing, and tracking documents.

While most installs, uninstalls, and updates operations happen without incident, there are cases where a user may not be able to complete such tasks due to some registry or file conflict on the machine. This is particularly problematic when permissions set on plist entries or files prevent the successful installation of new installs and/or updates. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool is designed to fix such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, including removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc. The tool provides options for removing problematic Acrobat items only while leaving Reader untouched and vice versa.

Wherever you are, Adobe Acrobat DC makes it easy for you to delete, add, and arrange pages in a PDF. Pull a range of pages from one PDF file and place them in an existing or new PDF — like copying and pasting entire pages, with just a couple clicks.

Known Issues

Adobe Dc Won't Download On Mac Catalina

  • If you have both Acrobat and Reader installed, removing the product that is the default PDF viewer can result in the other product failing to become the new default PDF viewer. When this problem occurs, run Repair on the remaining product and reboot the machine to make the remaining product the default PDF handler.
  • For Acrobat Pro Extended 9.x, the tool leaves the Acrobat entry in Add Remove Programs. To manually remove this entry, run an uninstallation from the ARP entry or manually remove the following registry entries:
    • Windows 32 Bit OS: HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall<Product-Code>
    • Windows 64 Bit OS: HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall<Product-Code>
    • The product code is language specific. For example, for EFG it would be {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7761-000000000004}
  • The Cleaner Tool removes the Reader 9.x or Acrobat 9.x installation even if the user chooses Cancel at the Files in Use dialog during uninstallation. The File in Use dialog appears when you try to uninstall a product that is already running.

Adobe will end support of Flash Player on December 31, 2020. Here's what you can expect in the meantime for each Microsoft browser:

In the next version of Microsoft Edge (built on Chromium), Flash will be disabled by default. However, users may re-enable it on a site-by-site basis. The timeline for Chromium-based browsers can be found here.

Flash will not be disabled by default from Microsoft Edge (built on EdgeHTML) or Internet Explorer 11 prior to its removal by December of 2020.

Flash will be completely removed from all browsers by December 31, 2020, via Windows Update. Group policies are available for enterprise admins and IT pros to change the Flash behavior prior to that date.

Companies reliant on Flash for development and playback of content are encouraged to remove the dependency on Adobe Flash prior to December 2020.
