Use this interactive demo to learn how to sign into the desktop app in Adobe Acrobat.

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to sign into desktop app in Adobe Acrobat:

‍

Open Adobe Acrobat.
Sign in using your email and password, or choose Continue with Google/Facebook/Apple.
If you use Google/Facebook/Apple, follow the prompts in the browser window that opens.
When you see the message that you can close the browser, close it.
Adobe Acrobat will open with your account signed in.

📌 Why this matters

Signing into your desktop app unlocks cloud storage, document syncing across devices, and collaboration features that aren't available in the basic offline version. You'll access your document history, saved preferences, and any PDFs stored in Adobe's cloud.

More importantly, authentication enables advanced features like electronic signatures, form creation, and shared reviews that require verification of your identity. Without signing in, you're essentially using a limited version of the software, missing tools that transform static PDFs into interactive, collaborative documents.
