[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]
Adobe Acrobat X, the world’s leading PDF document creation software, has been with us for nearly two years now, and there are questions out there on when the next version Acrobat XI will be released…
Now, nobody can actually say whether it would be called Acrobat XI or Acrobat 11, but one thing for sure is that the upgrade will be incorporated into the next release of Creative Suite (CS6.5 according to plan) and the new Creative Cloud, as well as sold separately.
It hasn’t been announced by Adobe when or what new features would be in an Acrobat XI Pro or Standard, but we do have some educated guesses…
In the meantime while we wait for developments on this front, we’re going to give away two copies of Acrobat 11 to two lucky readers here (meaning you!) as soon as it’s available… Pricing is not definite but if version 11 costs the same as version 10, then Acrobat XI Pro would sell for US$449 for a full copy – meaning this new giveaway is valued at US$948.
And importantly, by popular request from previous giveaways, this one is open worldwide.
If you’d like to try out or use the well-reviewed Adobe Acrobat X Pro for the coming month, give the free trial a shot as you can use it fully for 30 days… See what new features and enhancements were added in Acrobat X vs. versions 9, 8, and 7.

Like to create PDF documents from other formats and be able to secure them.
Thanks a lot for this excellent giveaway. I would love to try it to edit text and images in PDFs and to convert PDF to Office formats.
All the best.

Thanks for giveaway
Who won the giveaway?
Hi, thank you for your interest… We’re right now in the process of selecting and contacting the winners – and will hopefully have an announcement in the coming days.
Hi,
Thanks for the info.
Check out the accessibility options..
Great software to work
Will use Acrobat XI fully to create and modify pdf. I liked the feature that it can save/convert pdf to word, excel or powerpoint. Excellent.
I’m sure that I’ll win the free activation key. Using the free trial as of now.
Still no winners?
Apologies for the delay – Sandy got in the way of completing this process but we should hopefully have announcements soon.
Deseo participar en la rifa der Acrobat Pro
So when is the expected date for the announcement of winners.
Also, will I be considered for giveaway even though I have participated after the last date of submissions… Technically if you are still in the process of working out the giveaway, I don’t see any reason as to why I should be deprived of my luck to will a genuine acrobat XI proooooooo.
Perhaps SANDY made you wait for me!
We greatly apologize to our readers for the extraordinary delay. Our main office is located in New Jersey, where the storm had a major impact. What’s more, and incredibly coincidentally, both of our prizewinners also happen to be located in neighboring states that were also affected by Hurricane Sandy.
With that said, we’re pleased to announce the winners of our drawing for two new boxes of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and they are:
1. Mr. Rick Bryant of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
and
2. Mr. Oscar Velasquez of Bellport, New York.
Congratulations to our two winners! As you know if you’ve followed our site and giveaways over the years, we’ve always been able to confirm and announce the winners in a timely fashion – so this is unusual and once again we regret the delay and thank you for your patience.
For those who didn’t win this time, not to worry as this month’s prize is even better: a full copy of the Adobe CS6 Master Collection Suite, free!
I am a technical specialist from a well-known company… I need a lot of work with the help of acrobat and pdf’s, like changing architecture diagrams, etc…

With Acrobat, I´ll be even more productive….!
