The University of Waterloo has a site license for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC which allows all full-time employees to use the software free of charge. For full-time employees, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC licenses no longer need to be purchased through the Adobe VIP program. For more information about the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC license, please see Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

Adobe software for non-full-time employees can be purchased through a Faculty or Academic Support Department's Adobe VIP portal. The VIPs can purchase directly from the reseller, Softchoice, to receive VIP prices and assign the software to individual users or devices. Each Faculty/Academic Support department will be responsible for managing the Adobe VIP accounts associated with their area.
