When you start up Adobe Acrobat, you need to sign in (at the upper right) to get the PDF editing features.
Occasionally, this will generate a rather confusing message that you are not connected to the internet. If that happens, do the following:
Sign Out of Adobe Acrobat at the upper right corner (if signed in)
Navigate to the Adobe website and sign out (if signed in)
If there is a Creative Cloud application in the System Tray (lower-right corner), right-click on it and select “Quit”
Search for and launch the Credential Manager app on your Windows machine
In Credential Manager, search for and remove any saved credential for Adobe (select the credential in the list and click remove). When prompted, confirm the removal. Do this for all saved Web or Windows credentials that have the word Adobe in the name.
Reboot your computer and sign back in to Windows
Using a browser, navigate to the Adobe website and sign in using the link in the upper right
Enter your userid@uwaterloo.ca as your email address (even if you use a different/friendly address)
Select the Company or School Account option and then follow the normal University of Waterloo log in process.
Launch Adobe Acrobat and wait for the top right corner to show that you are signed in
