Chose Adobe Acrobat
ABBYY FineReader promises better OCR recognition, but Finereader for Mac doesn't do 1/3 of the things that Adobe Acrobat DC does. It fails to meet my needs. Readdle PDF Expert is a fine product, but still, a lightweight compared to Acrobat DC. Using PDF Expert after using …

It's like buying a luxury car with all the bells and whistles. It's a significant investment, but you have the vehicle always available, with superior performance, maximum safety, a warranty, and the ability to handle any road or condition.

Chose Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Acrobat is robust. It just does what it's meant to do. The learning curve to use the competition is too steep, and for us - it doesn't make sense to pay for an additional PDF tool when we get so many applications in Adobe Cloud along with our Adobe Acrobat app. There are …

Much more robust features, frequently updated with new features. PDF Expert was fine for basic form creation for non savvy users but lacked all the automatic formatting, diverse importing/exporting, security settings, Adobe Acrobat digital signing, etc. Further they also …

Chose Adobe Acrobat
PDF Expert is only better than Adobe Acrobat DC when I need to edit a PDF directly in the PDF file. Adobe Acrobat DC can't deal very well with PDF editing directly in the PDF. It is more for reading and marking changes and forms, not for editing pdfs.

Chose Adobe Acrobat
Adobe is a software that I have used for many years, about 10 years. I feel most comfortable with using it, but I have tried HelloSign since it can be integrated with other software that the company uses. HelloSign is quite similar to Adobe, but can not be used without the …

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.
