Locate the Correct Adobe ID and Re-Download

Search all your personal and work email inboxes for the original Adobe purchase confirmation receipt to identify the correct email address.
Go to the official Adobe website and log in using the email address identified in the previous step.
Navigate to the ExportPDF or Acrobat downloads section within your account dashboard.
Click the download button for your purchased desktop application and follow the on-screen installation prompts.
