I open Adobe Acrobat, but I still can't edit PDFs

If you encounter this problem, your computer is likely opening Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of Pro. Even when you click on the "Acrobat Pro" button in the Creative Cloud application, your computer will default to open Reader if it is installed. To solve this issue, uninstall all instances of Acrobat from your computer, then reinstall only Pro. The following steps should work in most cases:

  1. Uninstall Adobe Acrobat from your computer
    1. On Windows, open Control Panel and uninstall the program
    2. On Mac, open Applications and move the program to Trash, then open Trash and delete permanently
  2. Uninstall Adobe Acrobat from the Creative Cloud application 
  3. Install Adobe Acrobat Pro from your Creative Cloud application
