PDFgear is a PDF editor and converter available online or for download on desktop or mobile.
The tools I mentioned such as PDFgear or PDF24 are mostly free pdf edit tool. But the reason for not selecting them is the security. You cannot trust on any company you just find on google by searching. Feature wise Adobe Acrobat is much better than these because they do not …

Chose Adobe Acrobat
I've only tried two other PDF software offerings: WinZip for Windows and PDFgear. I find *all* software for Windows not intuitive and more difficult than it needs to be. PDFgear was much less frustrating, even on mobile use, but still lacking in overall functionality. That …

Adobe Acrobat stacks up against the alternatives we have looked into or used by greatly beating out the competition. This is due to the nonprofit discount, the robust features and functions available, ease of use, the security standards implemented, and the software's …

Chose Adobe Acrobat
Even though many of these are free programs, I need the editing features Adobe Acrobat provides for so many of the functions I handle. I cannot give those up so Adobe Acrobat is worth the money. Also, I know the Adobe programs so much better that it's hard to imagine relearning …

Adobe Acrobat is better for a few reasons: it has more powerful capabilities like editing, it's stable, it's exported files are universally compatible. The two I named above are ok in a pinch, but definitely not something we use if we can avoid it.

Bottomline is Adobe Acrobat is the standard and full implementation of all that PDF should have. I tried different apps for different reasons to like Apple Preview for quickly viewing the document. However, for final assessment I always prefer to use Acrobat and check if all …

Adobe Acrobat is a lot more user friendly. I navigate around a lot easier. With the others there is always some limitations.

We have found Adobe Acrobat very useful in many instances. It is a great resource for anything related to PDFs, as it is the most robust and well-known option, reducing the need for training. It is a vital component for signing documents, especially those that need extra security.

I wish the backward compatibility was a little more friendly. PDFLyer had to be updated sooner that we would like when we updated from Adobe 2017 to Adobe 2026.
I wish it had list processing like Excel where it could remove duplicates, change formatting, etc.
Sometimes after an update we lose our plugins and have to restablish the connection to the plugin or reinstall.

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.

Nothing is perfect; there are a few things that still get me a little bit aggravated when using the program but that doesn't detract from it accomplishing the needs I and the organizations that I've worked for have needed from it. I've worked with Adobe Acrobat for over 20 years and its usability is second hand to me even with added features and redesigns. It's a great piece of software.

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

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.

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.

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

Adobe Acrobat has the most premium features that other software can't offer. The seamless UI is consistent on any device, and the ease of use. The security and the advanced AI features are what you won't get on any other platforms or apps.

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.

Definitely a positive ROI when I can receive clear notes/direction on edits for a PDF via Acrobat's comment system, rather than chicken scratch on a printed document.
The ability to password-protect my PDFs so I can make sure only the workforce I want to see the information has been priceless!
As I mentioned before, a huge positive impact is the ability to edit PDFs without having to return to the original file's native software.
