User Testimonials
	Adobe Acrobat Reader	Infix PDF Editor
Likelihood to Recommend	After creating a document, converting it into Adobe Acrobat Reader is usually very easy for storage in my computer, sending/sharing via emails, etc. This also saves a significant amount of unnecessary printing and paper waste, which is great for reducing waste. I don't have to worry about not having the right software/app to view, edit, and share with anyone. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Edit PDFs. One of the biggest challenges faced in document heavy workflows is editing a PDF. Adobe Reader DC does a fantastic job of allowing you to edit pdfs on the fly without having to go back to the original form and reconverting it. Sign PDFs. I spend a lot of time signing contracts and approval forms. Adobe Reader DC allows me to do that quickly without having to use my mouse or another third party platform. I can do all I need right in the Adobe Reader DC workflow. Merge PDFs. I find quite often that I need to put two or more documents together in one form. I can do that with just a few clicks in the Adobe Reader DC merge workflow. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Accurately exporting all fields correctly (including UI design) of a PDF into various formats. There tend to be quirks with some exports. Choosing the right encryption type. This can get a little tricky. Getting picky with Acrobat custom fields when you're trying to do something out-of-the-box (during PDF creation). JM Jeff Montgomery CTO Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	To be honest, I do not have any say in the renewal of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. It is managed at an enterprise level, and the decision to renew or not renew is handled well above my pay grade as an external consultant.

Usability	Again, Adobe Creative Suite is widely used and backed by an industry leader, making the experience very familiar and common for anyone who has used a PDF and wants more features to interact with it. It also makes copy text a lot easier than just previewing the file. Daniel Berry Copywriter Read full review	No answers on this topic

Alternatives Considered	The Word app included with Office 365 offers similar collaboration functionality when compared to Adobe reader but with the option to fully change the original document while reviewing. This is both an advantage and disadvantage when compared with the Adobe reader app. Documents left in the Microsoft Word format also have a tendency to appear different depending on screen size and device used and this can be frustrating for some users. Basically, if you need what you have created and formatted to stay put and to appear as you intended and be printed as you intended if needed, use the Adobe PDF format.

Return on Investment	It has had positive impact in that it has save considerable costs vs. investing in cloud-based/subscription based software. In terms of security, it also has had a positive impact, in that it doesn't really require IT staff to take the time to patch the software or work on issues with the software. It has also had a positive impact in that it has not required formal training for users to be able to use the software. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
