## Acrobat + Creative Cloud

Adobe Acrobat Pro is included in the **Creative Cloud All Apps** plan. If your organisation already subscribes to Creative Cloud All Apps through WOHO, your team has access to Acrobat Pro at no additional cost.

Acrobat Pro is also available as a **standalone Single App licence** for teams and individuals who need professional PDF tools without the full Creative Cloud suite. This is the most cost-effective option for organisations that do not require design, video, or photography applications.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I already have Creative Cloud All Apps -- do I need a separate Acrobat licence?">
    No. Acrobat Pro is included in the Creative Cloud All Apps plan. Your users can install and use Acrobat Pro alongside Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and the rest of the Creative Cloud suite.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I mix Acrobat-only and Creative Cloud licences?">
    Yes. WOHO can set up a mixed licensing arrangement where some users receive Creative Cloud All Apps (which includes Acrobat Pro) and other users receive standalone Acrobat Pro licences. This is managed through the Adobe Admin Console.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

It is designed for businesses and institutions that need consistent deployment and oversight.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I edit scanned documents with OCR?">

  <Accordion title="What about accessibility compliance?">

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I send documents for signature from Acrobat Pro?">
    Yes. Acrobat Pro includes built-in e-signature capabilities powered by Adobe Acrobat Sign.
