Acrobat Pro as Part of Creative Cloud All Apps — Best Value Scenario
This is the most important pricing insight: Adobe Acrobat Pro is included free in the Creative Cloud All Apps plan.
If you are a designer, marketer, photographer or creative agency who uses any Adobe CC app alongside Acrobat, the All Apps plan at ~₹3,276/month gives you:
- All 20+ Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc.)
- Acrobat Pro — free, already included
- 100 GB storage
- Adobe Fonts
Compare this to buying Acrobat Pro standalone (₹1,675/month) + a separate CC app (₹1,675/month) = ₹3,350/month for 2 apps. The All Apps plan gives you 20+ apps for less.
Bottom line: If you use any Adobe creative app alongside Acrobat, the All Apps plan makes Acrobat Pro essentially free.
Acrobat Pro for Teams — What You Get
The Teams plan is for businesses purchasing 2+ Acrobat licences. At approximately ₹23,864/year per user (+ 18% GST):
Added over Individual:
- Adobe Admin Console — add/remove users, manage licences
- Volume e-signature sending — higher monthly signature limits
- Priority 24/7 technical support
- Centralised licence management
- Microsoft 365 admin-level deployment
Who needs the Teams plan: Any organisation standardising on Acrobat Pro across the office — CA firms, legal teams, HR departments, procurement, finance. The Admin Console eliminates per-user licence management headaches.
