Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (2015 release) is the full professional version of the Acrobat PDF editor with Document Cloud support that was released by Adobe Systems in April 2015.

Updated features

The "ClearScan" feature from the professional editions of Adobe Acrobat 9 through XI was renamed to "Editable Text and Images", which now uses heuristics to determine the font used in editable text extracted from a scan. This feature can be found in Enhance Scans > Recognize Text > In this file > Settings in "Pro" editions of Adobe Acrobat DC and is not available in the standard version.
