Working with PDFs
UHH no longer maintains a general license with Adobe. Therefore, Adobe Acrobat DC Pro is no longer generally available on the service computers for working with PDFs. However, the free Adobe Acrobat Reader does not offer all the functions that you know, appreciate and need (available free of charge via download at the homepage of Adobe ) or you cannot install it because you do not have admin rights on your work computer? Then the following solutions are available to you:
- Individual request: Currently, it is possible for UHH employees to use Adobe products on private devices, as long as they can show justification for doing so. More information can be found on the RRZ website under “Adobe software” (in german). Instructions for the application to use Adobe products are available for download (PDF file “Submitting an Adobe product application”).
- Alternative: For the use on business computers, the RRZ recommends the use of Master PDF Editor, which is generally not available on private devices. More information can be found on the Website des RRZ under “Master PDF Editor” (in german).
The IT-Service of Fakulty of Humanities (in german) also offers a continuously updated information page with help on the topic of PDF software.
