Step 2: If you don’t already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, then you’ll need to install the DC Pro version. Then, follow the on-screen prompts to download and install Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. On this page, click on the Get Started button to start your trial. Once you’ve entered and submitted your information, you’ll be taken to a confirmation page. (If you’re already a subscriber of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and have the software installed on your system, skip ahead to step 4.) You’ll also have to input a payment method so that Adobe can charge you after the trial period - be sure to cancel before the indicated date if you don’t want to keep up the subscription.

Step 1: Navigate to the main Adobe Acrobat Pro DC free trial page and click the blue Get Started button. You’ll need to sign up for an Adobe Creative Cloud account, which involves providing your name and email address, as well as creating a new password.
