Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 (Windows/Mac) Overview
 
View, create, and edit professional PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020. This Edition includes the perpetual version of Acrobat for Windows and Mac, and features a new Home view that helps you to stay organized and productive by allowing you to view and manage documents on both your computer and cloud storage services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Convert Microsoft Office documents, JPEG images, web pages, and more into PDF documents that can be edited and shared. You can also use Acrobat to digitally sign, automatically fill out, and send forms with customized colors to highlight important areas. Every aspect of the PDF may be edited, including text, images, and even the metadata.
 
Other features in the 2020 release include support for Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) technologies such as Azure Information Protection (AIP) and Information Protection using Office 365. Its built-in optical character recognition (OCR) can be configured to detect text on images. Additionally, DirectInk technology allows you accurately write and draw directly on the document using digital pens without selecting a tool, giving you a more natural experience when signing your name in the Signatures Panel on Windows 10 devices. For MacBook Pro users, Acrobat Pro includes Touch Bar functions that help you to work more efficiently. Subscribing to the Acrobat Pro DC service enables additional features such as mobile device support.

This version of Adobe Acrobat Pro is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1 and 8, Windows Server 2019, 2012 R2, and 2012, and macOS 10.15, 10.14, and 10.13.
