Overview

Effective October 1, 2024, Adobe is discontinuing the Creative Cloud content synchronization process, synced file and folder sharing and permanently removing cloud-based file copies.  If you use any of these features, see this IT Knowledge Base article for next steps.

Adobe Creative Cloud is a suite of desktop and mobile applications used for graphic design, video/photography editing, web development and more. Popular apps include Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop and Dreamweaver. A license also includes Adobe Cloud storage (100GB, non-sensitive only), unlimited access to Adobe Stock images fonts. Applications are downloaded and managed through the Adobe CC desktop app.

Adobe Acrobat Pro allows you to create and edit PDF files. Acrobat is included in the Creative Cloud license but is also available to staff as a single, stand-alone license for those who don't need the whole Adobe CC suite.
