All active K-State faculty and staff are eligible for a free Adobe Creative Cloud license, including Acrobat Pro DC. Adobe Creative Cloud offers over 20 applications and services, including tools for graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, mobile application creation and some optional cloud services.
With Adobe Creative Cloud tools, you can create graphics, illustrations, layouts, design pages and publish and share online videos.
How to access
To access the Adobe Creative Cloud apps, visit creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud. You can choose to download individual apps or the entire suite. If you have Adobe Reader installed, uninstall it before downloading Adobe Acrobat Pro.
You will need to sign in with your eID during the download process. You must use your eID@k-state.edu; your eID@ksu.edu will not work. If you need assistance, view Downloading Adobe Creative Cloud Suite.
Requesting a license
Student employees and device licenses are eligible for Adobe Creative Cloud licenses. Managers must request a license for student employees who require Adobe Creative Cloud for their job duties. Managers must submit a ticket to cancel the license when the student is no longer employed. Device licenses are available for computers shared by multiple users who need access to Adobe Creative Cloud.
To request a license, complete the Adobe order form. Once you submit the form, processing the request may take two or three business days. After processing your request, you will receive an “Access Granted” email from Adobe.
Please note that emeritus and retired employees are not eligible for a license.
Adobe training
Adobe offers free tutorials for all the Creative Cloud apps online at Creative Cloud Tutorials. Additional training is available within each app. Search for “training” or “tutorial” within the app’s Help Section to locate the training.
