Download Adobe AIR and Sign in to PDF Pack
Download the official Adobe AIR installer and log into Adobe Document Cloud or Acrobat Reader to restore access to your PDF Pack services.
Because Adobe PDF Pack is a collection of cloud-based services, it does not require a standalone installation. You simply need to access it through a web browser or a supported Adobe application. Adobe AIR, however, must be downloaded and installed separately.
Navigate to the official Adobe AIR download page in your web browser. Download the appropriate installer for your operating system and run the setup file to complete the installation.
Open your web browser and navigate to the Adobe Document Cloud website (https://cloud.acrobat.com/).
Click the 'Sign In' button and enter the email address and password associated with your active Adobe PDF Pack subscription.
Alternatively, download and open the free Adobe Acrobat Reader desktop app, click on the 'Sign In' button in the top right corner, and enter your Adobe credentials to access your PDF tools locally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did a system recovery remove my Adobe applications?
A system recovery restores your computer's operating system to a previous state or its original factory settings. This process uninstalls any third-party applications and updates that were added after that specific restore point was created.
Do I need to repurchase my Adobe PDF Pack after reinstalling my OS?
No. Your Adobe PDF Pack subscription is tied to your Adobe ID account, not your physical device. Simply sign in with your account credentials on any supported browser or app to regain access.
Can I use Adobe PDF Pack on my mobile device?
Yes, Adobe PDF Pack services can be easily accessed through the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app. Just download the app from your device's respective app store (iOS or Android) and log in with your Adobe ID.
