What is Adobe Acrobat?
Documents are more than just a collection of information and proof. They are foundational to connecting people and ideas, pushing business forward. Adobe Acrobat helps to keep users connected to their teams while driving business forward – no matter where they are working.
Acrobat is a PDF and e-signature solution with users among Fortune 500 companies. Acrobat users can create, edit, convert, share, sign, and combine documents from the Adobe platform. It provides for digital experiences that enable team to collaborate and work from any device, anytime, anywhere. Liquid Mode in Acrobat also enables users to view PDFs on small screens without the need to pinch and zoom.
In partnership with Microsoft, Adobe aims to reimagine how work gets done in a modern, secure, and connected hybrid workplace. Acrobat solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate with any preferred Microsoft apps so that users save time by creating, editing, sharing, and signing right from Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook, and more. It also features smart integrations with Google, Box, and other daily use apps.
Acrobat provides access to file protection features to protect documents from being copied, changed, or printed – for added peace of mind. Acrobat helps organizations comply with security standards and regulatory requirements such as GLBA and FERPA. It also meets ISO 32000 standards for electronic document exchange, including special-purpose standards such as PDF/A for archiving, PDF/E for engineering, and PDF/X for printing.

Adobe your way to a better document management
1- Document Conversion: We convert various document formats to PDFs for consistency and professionalism.
2- Editing and Annotation: Acrobat allows direct editing and commenting on PDFs, streamlining document reviews and collaboration.
3- Electronic Signatures: The e-signature capability facilitates efficient document approval processes, especially useful for remote work.
Our usage spans across multiple departments, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring document security and compliance.
- High-Quality PDF Conversion
- Advanced Editing Features
- Electronic Signature Functionality
- The user interface can be overwhelming for new users, with numerous features and settings that are not immediately intuitive.
- Acrobat can be resource-intensive, leading to slow performance, especially when opening large PDF files or performing complex editing tasks.
- Acrobat's pricing, particularly its subscription model, can be a barrier for small businesses and individual users
Less suited:
Basic Document Viewing: If the need is simply to view PDFs, Acrobat might be overkill, considering its cost and complexity. Free PDF viewers might suffice for this purpose.
Great universal tool to share information!
- Checking for accessibility.
- Editing the document through the tag tree.
- Scanning and covering to a tagged document.
- Consistently artifacting items correctly.
- Make it more streamlined to make form fields accessible.
- Creating PDF files through Adobe Acrobat Reader is a simple process and those docs are particularly useful for a company's website as linkable items.
- When receiving a PDF file, it makes it easy to convert that document or edit it when necessary.
- The program itself moves quickly and allows for easy reading of importan documents.
- Would like a better way to organize all the files that show up on the home screen. Drag and drop folders where the headers can be retitled would be helpful.
- When you click on some files under "recent," they say the file isn't available and can no longer be opened. If that's the case, it would clean up the home screen if those files names were automatically moved to their own folder or deleted.
- The "clear recent" button at bottom seems to serve only to clean up the home screen. But I don't see another space where it captures all the PDFs in some way so I can see them. Some organized way to maintain headers to old PDFs would be nice.

Adobe Acrobat will solve everything PDF related once for All!!!
- Create PDFs starting from a Word file mostly but also to accommodate many scanned files into a single one.
- Edit documents to add more text to contrats or edit the current text, add images and redistribute the current format.
- We are now able to export to some other formats based on our company's needs.
Along with the previous, we use a lot the signature function to fill out our contracts and finish with a sign. There are some other small options we use like checking the grammar, splitting a PDF, or removing some sheets, likewise adding some other sheets to a file.
Lastly, all these features have been key to improving our operations creating contracts, and getting those signed and stored for the future.
- PDF Creation
- Editing all aspects of PDFs Documents (Text, Images, splitting sheets)
- Filling out and signing documents
- Resize the documents and export to different formats.
- Until now, there's nothing we found areas of improvements that requires a big change.
- Maybe to refresh the interface to make more friendly to non-expert users.
- Maybe more organization of the icons.

Trustworthy product for digital signage!
- 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's a heavy program. This means a lot of RAM is utilized when doing something even pretty small just by running the program
- The digital signature portion is a little tricky to understand. There is not a lot of documentation around securing and saving the multiple digital signatures you're able to create.
