Where to get Acrobat Pro (a lot) cheaper.

Posted by Paul Nisbet on the 9th October, 2012

Last week a colleague in a local authority got a quote for a single licence for Acrobat Pro from his Procurement department, for £480.  

This is not good use of public money, given that you can get it for £58.58 per licence, plus £20 for the DVD, from Education Scotland (ex VAT). (Note that their web site is out of date and still has Acrobat Pro 9 but when you order, you get Pro X.)

Or, try Academia who apparently have it for £56.70 plus £17.40 for the CD (plus VAT).

So, if you want to save some money, get your procurement department to order Acrobat Pro from one of these suppliers and save yourself £400 a pop. 

(Thanks to Sandra O'Neill for getting the current prices.)
