Modifying PDFs without Adobe Pro

With Windows 10, Adobe Pro (part of Adobe Creative Cloud) is no longer a site license and instead is a per computer, per year license. There are a few things you can do without Adobe CC from the comfort of your classroom computer. 

Convert Word, Google Docs, etc. to PDF

  • Option 1: Save as (or download as) ... PDF
  • Option 2: Print to the "Microsoft Print to PDF"

Combine Multiple PDFs into a Single File


Remove Pages from a PDF File

  • Print to the "Microsoft Print to PDF" and select which pages to include, skip the ones you want removed
To edit text within a PDF, you need to either edit the original Word, Google Doc, etc. file and resave as PDF or use the shared computers with Adobe CC installed. They are located:
  • shared computers (with Dell scanners) in south & north workrooms
  • the 2 student desktop computers in the library
  • 2 student computers with it loaded in the Learning Lab

It would be awesome if we could load Adobe Pro (part of Adobe CC) on everyone's computer who wants to use it but without a site license, it's not possible.
