This guide will help you set up your Adobe account and get started with Acrobat on your computer. Please follow these steps in order.


Step 1: Accept the Email Invitation

  1. Open your email inbox and look for an email from Adobe (it usually has a subject line like "Get started with your Adobe Acrobat subscription" or "Welcome to Adobe").

  2. Open the email and click the Get Started or Accept Invitation button.

  3. This will open your web browser and take you to the Adobe account setup page.

Step 2: Create Your Adobe Sign-In

  1. On the Adobe page, you will be prompted to set up your account.

  2. Enter your email address (the same one where you received the invite).

  3. Create a password. Make sure it meets Adobe’s security requirements (usually at least 8 characters, including a capital letter, a number, or a symbol).

  4. Enter your First Name and Last Name if prompted.

  5. Click Complete Account or Create Account.

    • Note: If you already have an Adobe account with this email, you may simply be asked to sign in instead.

Step 3: Sign In to the Desktop Application

  1. Look for the Adobe Acrobat icon on your desktop. Double-click to open it.

  2. When the sign-in window that appears, enter your email address and the password you just created.

  3. If asked to choose between a "Personal Account" or a "Work/School Account," select Work/School Account (this ensures you are using the license provided to you).

  4. Once signed in, you will have full access to your Adobe Acrobat features.
