Minimum Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader Versions

Question

I am unable to find exact wording for the minimum Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader version specifications that students need for Canvas. I had a faculty ask and I am only able to find the computer browser/app guidelines. Would someone send over a direct link to this specific information from the guidelines so that I am able to guide an instructor to the most current information?

Hi @AlishaStearman ...

The Canvas LMS (Learning Management System) is different than Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Yes, there are minimum requirements for using Canvas...which you can find here: What are the browser and computer requirements for Instructure products?.  However, I'm not aware of any requirements that Canvas has for Microsoft and Adobe products.  I would recommend that you reach out to your instructor(s) in case you are concerned about any software version requirements that are needed for your course work.

I hope this will be of some help to you.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
