I don't want to ignore copy. Rather than send copy for approval as Word docs or as raw copy in email or, god forbid, a Teams message, Slack and other communication tools where it can be changed, deleted, mangled beyond recognition and face stresses and tortures the written word never should, you can print those documents as a PDF. It's not like a recipient can't change a word, but in our experience, non-creatives generally don't know what they've have to hit in order to commit such heresy. Also as you route PDFs of copy or design for approval, it's simple to see who has already weighed in and what they said. No need for crazy direction like "On paragraph 2 on the right side of the page, about a fourth down, rephrase those last 4 words" — that's near-DaVinci Code stuff to unpuzzle! Each person who needs to approve can simply drop their comment on the exact place they're talking about. That encourages others to view those comments and "talk it out" through the comments thread, rather than leave another comment giving similar direction.

LawLogix Guardian is well suited for companies who want or need to keep digital I-9 records in a safe and convenient place. LawLogix Guardian also keeps you up to date on all compliance practices for the country or state that you're in, ensuring that you stay compliant to the best of your abilities. One scenario where LawLogix falters is a very specific scenario of hiring minors without a Driver's License. In certain states, items such as report cards can be used in lieu of certain identifying documents. However, there is no accommodation for that in the current I-9 form.

  • Organizing large documents and saving individual document from them.

  • Collecting signatures internally and externally for the organization.
  • Drafting policies and procedures that require multiple collaborators and contributors.
  • Protecting documents from being edited or modified without permission or by ill intent.
  • Great for sending multiple photos in one document!
  • Great for document progress, for example, keeping record of who makes edits, when the edits are made, and what edit was done to the document.

Cons
Adobe
  • When editing text, it can sometimes get a little tricky getting paragraphs to line back up if too much is added
  • Paragraph grouping needs to be a little better when editing. Often times sentences with be split into two separate text blocks

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.

Usability
Adobe
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.

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.

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

I just don't feel as comfortable using other PDF editors. They just don't have the same name and look as Adobe Acrobat and I worry about the security of using other software to work on our company's documents. They may have similar features as Adobe Acrobat but I don't see any overall improvement to the features that Acrobat offers

Gusto is great but Equifax Workforce Solutions really helps us manage payroll, HR, benefits, and other employee needs much more seamlessly. We are so glad we made the transition to this platform as it helps keep us organized even more for all of our employee needs! It's been a great decision

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.

Return on Investment
Adobe
  • Savings of time trying to format documents correctly; PDFs hold their format.
  • Ease of transfer for print-ready or larger file types.
  • It has empowered multiple "non-designer" users to manipulate PDFs in minor ways, saving our design team time and allowing them to use their resources/time on other, more complex projects.

  • It has helped us digitize our I-9s, including for employees that have been with us for a long time.
  • It helps us ensure compliance to the best of our abilities in case of any audits.
  • It helps us find record in an organized fashion.
  • It helps us verify employment at the beginning of a new hire's employment to avoid any issues down the line.
