What is an outright purchase for Adobe Acrobat
You will find a chat exchange that I had with a sales advisor at Adobe® Acrobat® regarding the ability to purchase a lifetime / non-subscription license for Adobe Acrobat DC.
Even though it is rather hidden, it is still possible to make an “outright purchase”.
From chatting with the sales advisor, it is not clear what is included in free updates and how versioning / end-of-life will work for non-subscription purchases….
From the purchase page, it seems that there is still a yearly version number and considering a software life cycle, I am pretty sure that there will be an end-of-life based on this version at some point in the future.
Here is a screenshot of the purchase page on Adobe’s website:
-->Applies to: Azure Information Protection
Relevant for: AIP unified labeling client and classic client
Note
To provide a unified and streamlined customer experience, Azure Information Protection classic client and Label Management in the Azure Portal are being deprecated as of March 31, 2021. This time-frame allows all current Azure Information Protection customers to transition to our unified labeling solution using the Microsoft Information Protection Unified Labeling platform. Learn more in the official deprecation notice.
This article describes the protected PDF readers that are supported for Azure Information Protection (AIP). Protected PDF readers enable users to open those encrypted PDFs and view the sensitive information contained.
Encrypting your PDFs with AIP ensures that unauthorized people cannot read the file's content. Protected PDF readers that support AIP verify that you've been granted permissions to open the document, and also decrypt the content for you.
For example, the following image shows an encrypted document open in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The bar at the top indicates that the document is protected by a Microsoft Information Protection solution.
For instructions, see the following sections:
Tip
If your document doesn't open after installing a recommended reader, the document may be protected in an older format.
In this case, try one of the readers listed as supported for previous formats. For more information, see Support for previous formats.
ISO standards for PDF encryption
Download Adobe Acrobat For Mac Catalina
The PDF readers referenced on this page can all open protected documents that adhere to the ISO standard for PDF encryption.
This standard is used by default by the AIP client.
Note
Classic client only: If you have the AIP classic client, this may have been disabled by an administrator.
