Verified User Engineer Chose Adobe Acrobat We used PDFTK for some command line PDF exports when we need to do things very quickly.

Verified User Employee Chose Adobe Acrobat PandaDoc did not offer a time and date stamp with the signature, which is why we had to stop using their services, as it is a requirement with Social Security.

Kenneth Cameron Principal Managing Partner Chose Adobe Acrobat I am sure it works fine but I do not have any reason to ever use it instead of or in addition to acrobat. If the software is working fine, has the features you need and is already well known by the staff, it would be foolish to switch to a different software. Incentivized Helpful? TN Tracy Novack Administration Chose Adobe Acrobat I don't know if it's the many years of experience I have using Adobe Acrobat or that they just seem to evolve along with the industry, the other programs I have tried (not by choice) just don't seem to have the abilities I have found and used with Adobe Acrobat.

User Testimonials
	Adobe Acrobat
Likelihood to Recommend	Adobe Acrobat is well suited when sharing information with different parts/levels of my company where access to specific software is unavailable to all employees who need to see the information. For example, my tradesmen do not have access to MS Excel in the field, so a PDF creates that accessibility. As for a scenario where it is less appropriate, I cannot think of one. Incentivized Mark Rhodes Communications Manager Read full review
Pros	Adobe OCR on scanned documents actually works well for standard business docs; it makes old vendor contracts searchable without manual retyping. Page organization is genuinely useful, helping with merging, reordering, and splitting PDFs in one place without needing a separate tool or script. Editing PDFs you didn't create without breaking the original formatting works more reliably than anything else. Incentivized Kaleem Ahmed Senior Software Engineer Read full review
Cons	Adobe The UI is awkward to navigate in professional workflows. Major UI changes are much too frequent, which affects productivity adversely even when the changes are "improvements." Muscle memory is a thing. The new AI features tend to be intrusive and distracting if you turn them on, and there are better alternatives for document summary and analysis. Incentivized Alan Gilbertson Creative Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Adobe Adobe Acrobat works seamlessly with the other Adobe products we use that are industry-standard. We will certainly continue to use Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, meaning it will always be convenient to work seamlessly with Adobe Acrobat for our organization. We are happy with the performance of Acrobat and it's meets our expectations. Incentivized Avery Chipman Interior Designer Read full review
Usability	Adobe I am able to rely on the software. I am aware that I barely scratch the surface of what it can do outside of the basics on a pc, but it is reassuring to know whatever I need it to do and whatever platform, it will work well. Incentivized Kenneth Cameron Principal Managing Partner Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Adobe We have not had availability issues with Adobe Acrobat, or at least none that I am personally aware of. Some may encounter crashes of the software during outages of electricity in their city or neighborhood, which no one can plan for, but with generators in our organization, we have been lucky not to have outages Incentivized Rod Lott Manager of Marketing Strategy Read full review
Performance	Adobe One of the best features of Adobe Acrobat is its speed and stability. When dealing with massive multi-page files, having to reload a crashed program over and over again would slow down progress unnecessarily. And expanding on that, having the table of contents generated allows me to skip to different pages with ease, a necessary feature with exceptionally long files. word searches are even more helpful with text recognition. Incentivized Daniel Epstein Senior Clinical Quality Analyst Read full review
Support Rating	Adobe For a while, Acrobat DC crashed pretty frequently. I contacted Adobe Acrobat support about the problem. At first support was unable to provide a solution. After about a month Adobe's software engineers provided a fix. I just wish it had taken less than a month to solve the problem. Incentivized BP Bradley Pearce Managing Member Read full review
Online Training	Adobe Answered basic questions. Incentivized Michael Craven President Read full review
Implementation Rating	Adobe I was not involved with the implementation process, so I cannot answer this question. However, when it was installed on my computer system, they did so virtually. I just sat there while they took control of my computer over the network and watch them install it, lickety split Incentivized Rod Lott Manager of Marketing Strategy Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Adobe I don't know if it's the many years of experience I have using Adobe Acrobat or that they just seem to evolve along with the industry, the other programs I have tried (not by choice) just don't seem to have the abilities I have found and used with Adobe Acrobat. Incentivized TN Tracy Novack Administration Read full review
Contract Terms and Pricing Model	Adobe I am not responsible for sales or purchasing Incentivized Sean Moore Marketing Specialist Read full review
Scalability	Adobe I find that many users aren't aware of many features of the software they use, nor may they be comfortable with learning multiple-step processes. For the simplest of PDF purposes (scanning, downloading, exporting), it gets a thumbs-up. For anything involving electronic signatures, meh--causes eyes to glaze over, or forgetting what all is involved. Incentivized Jamie Caroland Independent Consultant Read full review
Return on Investment	Adobe Again, the ability to make multiple versions of a PDF has helped speed up getting them to the warehouse and making it easier to print for them! In marketing, there are multiple uses of Adobe Acrobat where it speeds up our process making us more efficient. Incentivized PT phillip Tusler Graphic Designer Read full review
