[Notice] : End of Support and Upgrade for “Adobe Acrobat 2017”

Dear all,

Since June 6, 2022, Adobe Acrobat 2017 will be no longer supported

Basically, software including operating systems has a support expiration date. Using software that is no longer supported leaves security vulnerabilities open, which can lead to serious information security incidents. Kyoto University also requires countermeasures through its information security policy and security audit. We would like to alert you to Adobe Acrobat 2017 as software that needs to be addressed urgently. For those who are affected, please consider taking action (removal or migration to the successor product)  after the expiration of support.

Of course, if you are using Adobe Acrobat 2015 or an older version, please take the above action.

Standard OS functions can be used to create PDFs.

If you simply want to create PDFs, you don’t need the full version of Adobe Acrobat; on macOS, the standard “Preview” app allows you to do some editing. We recommend that you also consider whether you really need the commercial version.
