Adobe Acrobat Pro 2023 Portable ^new^ -

Adobe is moving toward the cloud. By 2025, most Acrobat features will require an internet connection for AI-based text recognition and cloud rendering. Consequently, the "Portable" era is dying. The 2023 version is likely the last great version that can be effectively repacked due to its reliance on local processing rather than cloud APIs.

The iOS and Android versions of Acrobat Pro (with a subscription) offer 90% of desktop features. You can store files on your phone and edit anywhere. No USB required.
