Overview
Adobe Acrobat is a subscription based software that allows users to create, edit, manage, print, and share PDF documents. It can be used online as well as downloaded on to your computer and SMSU faculty and staff have this application -as well as others- available to them through the Adobe Creative Cloud suite already paid for by the university. These are referred to as "Named User Accounts" meaning the license was applied to your SMSU work email and not intended to be shared with a group.
