Solution 1Recommended

Download the Italian Installer from Adobe's Regional Catalog

Language availability in Acrobat often depends on the specific installer used. Reinstalling with the Italian regional installer is the most direct way to get Italian language support.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 language options are generally bundled into specific regional installation packages. If your current version lacks Italian, it means you likely installed the software using an installer restricted to English and German.

To resolve this, you need to access the Adobe regional catalog for Italy and download the appropriate setup file.

1
Access the Italian catalog

Navigate to the official Adobe Italy catalog page at https://www.adobe.com/it/products/catalog.html using your web browser.

2
Log into your account

Click 'Accedi' (Sign In) in the top right corner and log in with the Adobe ID associated with your Acrobat Pro 2017 license.

3
Download the installer

Locate Acrobat Pro 2017 in your products list and initiate the download. Ensure that 'Italiano' is the selected or implied language for the download.

4
Reinstall the application

Uninstall your current English/German version of Acrobat via your system's Control Panel or Settings, then run the newly downloaded installer and select Italian when prompted during setup.
