Introduction
This article provides the procedure for Pima Community College faculty and staff to download and install Adobe applications.
Note: Adobe Acrobat is automatically installed for all staff members, so you won’t need to use this process to install it.
Caution: Creative Cloud apps are full-featured professional tools that require many gigabytes of your hard drive space, not just to install but also to operate. To avoid running out of space, be sure to install only the Creative Cloud apps you need.
Faculty and staff can also install Creative Cloud Apps on their personal devices. See Personal Devices below.
