Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and Acrobat Reader DC

In order to convert a PDF, you will need to download either Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. If you need to export pdfs often and in various file formats, we recommend Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, as it provides more file export options. If you typically need to export to Word occasionally for editing purposes, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a great (and less expensive) option.
