As of October 16, 2017, Adobe will no longer be supporting and providing security patches for Acrobat 11 and all previous versions. If a security vulnerability is identified after October 16, 2017, Cybersecurity may ask you to upgrade your version of Acrobat to prevent you from being blocked from our network.
Adobe has now moved to a cloud based subscription model of Adobe Acrobat, called Adobe Acrobat DC. The current cost for Adobe Acrobat DC from the Lab’s software site is $160.00 per year. This is an annual subscription with the potential to increase between 3 to 5 % annually.
There is no direct upgrade path from older versions of Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Acrobat DC. Adobe Acrobat DC can be obtained from our Lab’s software download site, https://software.lbl.gov/swSoftwareDetails.php?applicationID=1. As a reminder, all Adobe products should be purchased through the Lab’s software download site.
For users who use Adobe Acrobat as a signature tool, HelloSign is a free alternative solution to Lab employees. Windows 10 and Mac users can generate PDFs using the built-in print to PDF function.
