It is being used by select users in each department for its advanced features such as converting PDFs to Word format, forms creation, as well as its ability to insert or delete individual pages within a document. It’s most powerful use for us is the ability to create PDF forms that are fill in the blank, drop down, include radio buttons, and more.
- Form creation
- Conversion of pdf to word or excel
- Page deletion and insertion
- Cryptic error messages that require intense research to understand
- Confusing pricing models which include licensing options only
- Limited Collaboration options
All users in our campus must use .pdf at some point in their employment. Adobe Acrobat DC is the only authorized viewer for .pdf files on campus at this time. The usage of Adobe DC allows campus employees to use a standardized digital document product that is compatible with all users in our environment.
- Clean formatting.
- Small file size.
- Stability/compatibility.
- Ease of use.
- Licensing is unnecessary.
- More options in DC if requiring a license similar to Adobe Pro.

We use Adobe Acrobat DC for many things: getting e-signatures from clients, enhancing scans to become text searchable, editing PDFs, combining PDFs, reorganizing the pages of a PDF, adding bookmarks, redacting documents, etc. Given it has a wide range of tools, Adobe Acrobat DC is best suited for our office needs for the price. Individually, those tools would cost us much more through other software programs.
- Redacting is a great function. Makes it so I no longer have to hand redact with a sharpie.
- I like the combining PDF function and reorganizing the pages. It's simple and fast.
- The adobe sign function is great to be able to share and send docs to clients for them to sign without having to come to my office.
- The manuals on Adobe's website aren't great.
- Even the video tutorials they have don't help much.
- I don't like that I have to resort to youtube or google to figure out how to use a tool in Adobe.
Adobe Acrobat DC is used across the company for viewing, printing, and editing various documents. We are a paperless company so almost everything is turned into a PDF. I personally have used it to edit PDFs instead of hunting down the original file. I also use it to view and share documents. Adobe Acrobat DC is helping us be a paperless company.
- Edit PDFs - super easy to do.
- Sign and send PDFs - a common need.
- I wish it was easier to add fillable text boxes.

We are a small consulting firm. We use Adobe Acrobat DC for:
- Reading reports and other PDF files
- Creating reports for our clients
- Reviewing and commenting on reports
- Preparing reports and invoices
- Completing government forms.
- Making review comments on reports. Abode provides an organized way for a team to review and edit a draft report.
- Completing government forms. Most of our clients are government agencies. Adobe makes it easy to complete paper-based (non-menu) forms. It also helps when these forms need updating.
- Copying pages from one document to another is not clear.
- The extract command is unclear.

Adobe Acrobat DC is our go-to software for the development and editing of PDF documents. We have found that it is significantly easier to use than other programs claiming to be able to perform the same tasks. For the most part, they do not perform all the same tasks, and the ones they can perform are much more complicated. Adobe Acrobat DC is the gold standard. It is not inexpensive, but well worth the investment is you need this type of software.
- Editing of PDFs
- Inserting graphics
- Adding or removing pages
- At times the editing is clunky, selects too many words, etc.
- Fonts are a little hard to change
- Signature option could be smoother

- I can transform text documents to PDF and vice versa.
- Adobe Acrobat DC allows me to save my work in the cloud.
- It is heavy and can only be used in Windows operating system.

- It takes time to open large files.
We use the program for invoicing, presentations, and nursing documentation.
- Visual appeal of documents.

We use Adobe Acrobat DC across the entire organization. Everyone has Reader installed and now most have Adobe Acrobat DC installed on their laptops. The frequency of use depends on the department, but in our communications department, we use it heavily. All the department offices at the school use it. It is great for making quick edits and adding comments. Most employees are familiar with Adobe Reader so it is an easy transition.
- Great for putting together multi-page documents and to organize them.
- Makes it easy to work with other Adobe products such as Photoshop and InDesign.
- It would be great if this program always automatically recognized any URL or email addresses. Even if you get it scanned for it, it doesn't always recognize it if the full URL is not in place.
- The text editing is amazing but it would be a bonus if it recognized the font type and size to match your document when you are just in editing mode.
Adobe Acrobat DC is primarily used by the marketing department. We use it to quickly edit PDFs, view them, and send interactive documents to our distributors and sales team. The functionality of Adobe Acrobat DC allows us to create documents that are viable and protected with the added capability for signatures other line items.
- Extracting pages from a PDF
- Editing a PDF
- Interactive abilities for outside parties
- Hard to find tools, nomenclature
- Some editing capabilities are limited

It is the software that my organisation officially uses to edit a PDF, make any addition, deletion, any amendment to an existing PDF.
- Cloud storage.
- Flexible.
- It needs to be accessible for challenged people.
- Optical character recognition needs to be improved.
- No other gripes.
Most of our use is in reading and creating of PDF document formats. We either print to PDF from another document source or open PDF documents within the Adobe software. Overall for the needs of the group and the business, the software adequately meets the needs of the users, internally and externally to the business (employees and customers).
- Reading PDF documents, mainly because it is the native document format for the software
- Highlighting, bookmarking and making notes on documents
- Digital signatures and document sharing capabilities
- Search function is a little weak, especially if the original document is an older document
- Image to text interface would be nice. If I can scan a document to a pdf, and the software is smart enough to recognize the text to make it searchable it would be beneficial
- Merging files would be a nice add, but I believe that comes with the full version of Adobe Acrobat

I use Adobe Acrobat DC daily for editing PDF files. I have to send out contracts, lien waivers, etc. The ability to edit a PDF file makes my job so much easier! I also like that it gives me the ability to digitally sign documents. Without the editing feature, it would take me 3 times as long to get my job done.
- Great for editing PDF files
- Great for digitally signing documents
- Sometimes, the program has small issues when I first start my computer. Usually a restart fixes it.

Our company uses Adobe Acrobat DC for all of our reports we send to our clients. We used the program to make fallible forms that are sent to our clients to make data collection more coefficients. We use the organize pages tool often to compile and reorganize our reports and we use the edit and comment tools to make collaboration projects more efficient.
- The organize pages tool makes changing page orientations and locations easy.
- Having the option to lock a file is beneficial for our company to insure our document is not being tampered with by another user.
- Recently had issues adjusting the font size on one of the editable text documents. There is no quick and easy why to change the font, it felt like I had to really search for this simple edit I needed to make.
We've used Adobe Acrobat DC both in my current business and in my previous business where I oversaw a staff of eight. Our business involves a lot of .pdf sales offers, and Acrobat was critical in creating, editing, and sending .pdfs. We didn't rely on it so much to track changes because most of the changes we'd made were visual and were usually made by one or two people. We also used it to routinely add our letterhead to invoices created by a separate accounting program. With Adobe Acrobat, we were able to better control how our identity appeared while also using the accounting and inventory program we liked the most.
- Creates .pdfs
- Makes it very easy to edit .pdfs, frequently without having to open up the original document and resave before editing.
- Highly versatile.
- I would like to see Acrobat take on some of the light functionality of Illustrator for making small graphic changes without having to go back to the original document and resave. Essentially, I'd like to be able to do graphically what you can more easily do for text.
- The new user interface is more difficult for me than the previous interface.
- I wish it was easier to figure out adding the signature functionality.
Adobe Acrobat DC is a standard app used for both Mac and PC's at our institute. We roll this out to every user for easy PDF viewing capabilities.
- Works excellent for viewing PDF and PDF-type files
- Easy installation
- Works well with many PDF type files
- This is strictly for reading
- Would like to see more editing options, such as the ability to digitally sign a PDF. We have to purchase Acrobat Pro to perform this function
- Would like to see fewer updates which tend to break custom printer settings

We use Adobe Acrobat DC across our whole organization when we do presentations, most of our documents are prepared using PowerPoint then are converted to Adobe Acrobat DC which allows people within and outside our organization view the documents without allowing them to edit.
This gives us proper control of our proprietary document, also with Adobe Acrobat DC the size of the document is easily compressed making it smaller and easier to email to other users.

- With Adobe Acrobat DC you can easily upload your document to the cloud then share via email or you copy and send the link.
- You can easily attach your signature.
- Conversion from Adobe Acrobat DC to Word, PowerPoint etc., is easy!!
- Adobe Acrobat DC also makes your work look professional.
- Limit the time it takes to generate a shareable link.
- Conversion to jpeg is needed.
- There are too many Adobe products, can't they be listed on the home page of Adobe Acrobat DC to allow people make informed decisions?

It is used across our HR department on a daily basis. It eliminates the need to print out nearly all the documents we use to on-board a new employee, which is a huge time-saver.
- Allowing us to edit files live within the document.
- Allowing re-organization of pages, rotating pages in an alternate direction and deleting pages.
- Adding in a signature is huge for us. My department is split and we use this to eliminate the need for a printed copy signed and scanned back in.
- I've had Adobe Acrobat DC crash a lot lately.
- I would like to be able to save more than 2 signature.
- Adding in text is sometimes difficult and can cause the program to crash.

Most of the staff here use BlueBeam. I use Acrobat because it gives more flexibility in editing, combining documents, filling out forms, affixing signatures, etc.
- Ability to sign documents: it's easy and allows multiple signatures in a single document.
- Combining documents into a single document or a portfolio is easy and convenient.
- Using Outlook's "convert to Adobe pdf" works well, it's much better than print, save to pdf, which produces atrocious saved documents.
- Converting a scanned PDF to a Word document is just awful. It's generally easier just to retype the document.
- The edit function in Adobe is hit and miss. The groupings of words/lines/sentences/objects are often very strange and generally in blocks that are too small. Some items are apparently uneditable without deleting a block altogether; highlighting and lines (as found in a form) are examples.
- The font options are limited as for formatting. There is no way to change some defaults. The line spacing, for example, defaults to 1.10 rather than single spacing. Who on earth uses this line spacing for ANYTHING? It would be nice if Adobe would involve actual users in their design decisions or at least give users the option to set their own default settings.

We use Adobe Acrobat to prepare documents to send out to our customers. These docs are used for security agreements and guarantees, so having Adobe has made creating these docs much easier. Our entire company has some form of Adobe and everyone uses it and likes it. Great product for a great price.
- We are able to draft Docs and add signature requirements much more easily than prior to Adobe.
- Being able to edit and correct files sent in is a huge benefit.
- Being able to convert and save just about any file to an Adobe PDF has saved a ton of time and money.
- Registering my Adobe Acrobat license was a bit of a challenge. The first time I tried, it failed and I wasn't able to try it again. Our IT Dept. got involved and squared it all away but it was troublesome at first.

I use it almost every day, as do all my associates.
- It is very user-friendly for editing documents.
- The fill and sign feature is so very helpful for getting multiple people to sign documents.
- Reformatting Word Docs to PDFs is a very helpful feature.
- It would help if there was "laymans language" in the help box. For example: What are you trying to accomplish?
- Sometimes I have to re-name files when I save them.

Currently, I use the "Document Cloud" to interact with our presenters. I run about 100 plus webinars a year within the association. Acrobat is great when trying to share resources and even to gain signatures for important documents. This product has changed the way we interact with our members and associates.
- I can make edits directly from my iPad while away from the office with no issue.
- I can create cross conversions between different document types.
- For what I use the product, for now, it is great. I am not sure of any changes that would make the product better.
Adobe Acrobat DC is used in almost every department in my organization. There are a lot of tasks involved, with editing, creating, signing and sharing of PDF documents, and Adobe Acrobat DC helps to do all the work from any device at any place. It also helps to manage our documents.
- Editing documents.
- Signing PDF documents.
- Sharing PDFs across devices.
- Too cumbersome.
- Non-intuitive.
- Subscription model.
Adobe Acrobat DC is being used for all departments in our organization. This is the most used tool for everyday work. Adobe Acrobat DC provides many advanced tools to make our work easy. We can also convert PDF`s into other formats. As a finance professional, this is a must-have software to meet daily reporting requirements.
- Best reading experience.
- Easy conversion into different formats.
- Best for presenting documents.
- Conversion into Excel could be better.
- Sometimes it stops responding.

We've used Adobe Acrobat in many ways over the years. We use it for creating fillable form PDFs, and converting documents to PDF. I also really like the ability to convert scanned documents to PDF with editable text using OCR. I have my signature uploaded, so I always use it to quickly fill and sign documents that are sent to me, even if the publisher did make them fillable/signable. Most recently, we've added using the Adobe Sign feature for sending documents for signature to our own clients.
- It's the standard in creating PDFs. You can convert pretty much any document to PDF.
- Editing existing PDFs is easy with Adobe Acrobat. Even if the existing PDFs are scanned documents, you can still edit the text of the document.
- Filling out PDFs sent to you is really easy, even if the publisher of the PDF did not make it fillable and signable.
- Sending documents for signature is easy with the Adobe Sign integration.
- I don't really have any complaints. It does everything it's supposed to do very well.
