Adobe Acrobat 2017 was released on June 6th, 2017 and in line with Adobe’s Support Lifecycle Policy, product support will cease on June 6th, 2022.
What does “end of support” mean and how does this affect users?
End of support means that Adobe will no longer provide technical support – including product and security updates for Acrobat 2017.
The easiest option is to stick with Adobe Acrobat 2017 – that’s the reason you purchased perpetual licenses, right? Not so fast…
This route is marred with a myriad of pitfalls, the biggest being the security risks. Continued usage after end of support puts your business at risk for serious disruptions related to security, compliance, and compatibility with future Microsoft releases. Without further product patches from Adobe, your data will be more vulnerable to viruses, hackers, and spyware.
“Running antivirus on an out-of-support system will not provide adequate protection against the latest threats”
