Step 5

Once the above step is completed you should see a listing of tabs for available programs. Yours may look a little different and may only show Acrobat DC without being in a tab. Click ‘Get Desktop App’ to start the software download. Once downloaded, run the install if it does not start automatically by double-clicking on the downloaded file. This will launch the install of Acrobat DC.
