University Technology supports PDF-XChange Pro as the standard PDF editor for the campus. Also note that Microsoft Office (2007 and later) and Google Docs can export to PDF with no additional software needed.  

Some offices require or prefer the use of Adobe Acrobat Pro for document production as it has specific features that are not available in PDF-XChange Pro. In these situations, we can install and configure our existing licensed copies of Acrobat Pro.  This This will only be done upon request and consultation with the user, and may not be available in the future as described above. Users can also purchase a retail copy of Acrobat XI Pro for approximately $120.  Instructional Technology will assist with the purchase of the software; however, the actual purchase will be made and paid for by the department.
