Learn how to install Acrobat for Microsoft Teams.
Installing Acrobat for Microsoft Teams provides powerful document management and editing capabilities of Acrobat directly within Microsoft Teams. You can easily view, annotate, and share PDF files in Teams.
Note:
Adobe Acrobat has streamlined its integration with Microsoft services. When you install the Acrobat app on Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, or Microsoft 365 (formerly Office), it will automatically be available on the other two platforms as well. This unified approach ensures that you have consistent access to Acrobat’s features across your Microsoft applications, simplifying your document management experience.

Note:As a Microsoft Teams admin, you can configure an installation policy in the MS Teams Admin Center to set Adobe Acrobat as the default app for viewing and editing PDFs. Once implemented, all PDF files in Chats, Channels, and Files will automatically open in the Acrobat app within Teams. Users can view, comment, annotate, bookmark, and search PDFs without needing an Adobe Acrobat subscription or Adobe ID. However, to access advanced features like organizing, combining, exporting, compressing, or protecting PDFs, users must sign in with an Adobe Acrobat subscription.
The Adobe Acrobat app is configured within Microsoft Teams.
Tip:
Admins can confirm that Acrobat is the default PDF viewer by sharing a PDF in a chat or channel and opening it. If the PDF opens in the Acrobat app, the default setting is correctly configured.
