Adobe Express with Firefly AI (Recommended) – AI-powered design tools, 250 AI credits, 100GB cloud storage, basic PDF editing.
Adobe Acrobat Pro – Advanced PDF editing and management
Creative Cloud All Apps Suite – Full access to Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and more (Includes 1000 AI credits; requires approval)

What You Need to Do:

If you currently use Adobe products, submit your selection by September 30 to avoid service interruption. Visit the MyDenison Adobe page and follow the steps under “Request Process” section.
