Adobe Acrobat vs. Autodesk Docs

If your organization uses PDFs frequently, then Adobe Acrobat feels like must-have. I could not imagine our organization not using it. The ability to create, organize, and edit PDFs easily and intuitively are the main reasons my organization uses it. The other additional functions and features are "nice to haves", but ultimately, don't impact our day-to-day

Since my favorite feature is that it brings everyone together, I find it appropriate to interpret it from this perspective. The platform created for all project stakeholders to work together in real time helps increase project efficiency, reduce errors and minimize delays. It creates real-time data, analysis and reporting that will ensure increased and high project performance, which is a quantitative contribution to project management.

• Easy to understand- the program has a very intuitive layout that is great for people who doesn't use the product very much
• Includes all features you might need. There are many features I didn't even think we would need that they have included.
• They have a very recognizable name so my clients feel they can trust what they are being asked to open/sign since the Adobe name is next to it.

• It helps the design team carry out projects more efficiently by facilitating access to up-to-date documents
• It provides the opportunity to share, edit and collaborate on project documents in the cloud environment.
• It supports remote working and eliminates the need for employees to be together for the project or even be in the same city or country.

• It would be good if Adobe Acrobat could utilize less system resources. I have had crashes due to memory and CPU load this week
• Quicker load times from a cold launch
• Easier collaborative commenting for offline documents - knowing where and who wrote what
• Ensuring documents don't have issues where text cannot be copied before publishing

• It is a bit expensive for small construction companies or project offices, and it is more difficult to reach, especially for countries with high exchange rates such as Turkey.
• It cannot integrate with other non-Autodesk software we use within the company.
• Being dependent on the internet is a problem. Of course, I know that being cloudy requires internet, but it may be an advantage to at least keep the used files in its own memory for a while.

I bought a perpetual license to Acrobat some time ago, but if the software ever stopped being supported in my version of windows or other solution that makes me need to buy another license I would not hesitate to do so since it saves me a lot of headaches. There are workarounds to merge files and edit pdfs with an online interface but I dont think those are a good usage of time when Acrobat exists.

My overall experience with Adobe is great because because the it has almost all of the tools in one place and it can be used it for most of my work without going anywhere else. Because the tools are available right there in the main interface, it makes it very easy to use.

The software is readily available and rarely has application errors.

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.

Because I don't need it. Used it years ago for account management/billing issues but they have changed the user experience so more of that can be managed online. If I have a question the knowledge base or a video that Adobe has posted answers

Works well with JamF and SmartDeploy. These are our Enterprise imaging solutions for Mac's and PC's. The Enterprise installer is required when pushing out this app.

There really is no comparison. Although we use other PDF programs, we mainly utilize Adobe. Not only because we find it to be a better program but also because everyone is more familiar with it. However, the other products are implemented for various reasons, such as a feature or 2 that we find necessary to use at times.

The only thing I can think of that may be helpful would be a more flexible tiered pricing options based on usage or document volume.

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.
