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.

With Preview I have to create my own text boxes and place them in the correct spot within the document. This leads to clutter and moving the incorrect boxes. With Adobe Acrobat nothing needs to move as it’s set within the file.

Initially we went with standardization, we were users of the Creative Cloud Suite and thought across the board would be the way to go. Pricing was a big factor, and it was good at that time. We have started to go a different direction as the price has increased and compatibility has come up more times than we are comfortable with.

I have only used Adobe Acrobat when it comes to software similar to it.

Because I am an avid user of Adobe Premiere Pro (and sometimes Illustrator/Photoshop), it made perfect sense for me to use Acrobat too.

Also because we pay for Adobe Creative Cloud as a whole, it works out cost effective too.

  • Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom)
I found this software to be very difficult to navigate. I really wanted to love it because it is less expensive compared to Adobe and is easier for our institution to license. Unfortunately, the learning curve was too steep to implement within our organization. I am usually the test case for software and if I think it is too difficult, our users will struggle with it.

Adobe is the leader in the ability to create professional grade documents to distribute internally and externally. The challenge is the pricing and the ease of use is not as ideal in relation to these other products. The learning curve can be steep and time consuming which deter new entrants.

  • Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) and Soda PDF
I found Adobe to be richer in features than Foxit or Soda, more intuitive to learn and more reliable when in use. Both alternatives were more prone to crashes or had needed features missing, which is how i made my decision to go with Adobe

Adobe Reader and Microsoft Edge (default Windows PDF file reader app) offer limited functionality compared to Adobe Standard DC. For colleagues that do not need extended the functionality of Adobe Standard DC Adobe Reader has been installed on their computers. Adobe Reader works and looks similar to Adobe Standard. Microsoft Edge has even less functionality and is not useful for us, it can only be used as a PDF file viewer as far as I know.

Adobe Acrobat has vastly higher capabilities when it comes to marking up PDFs and editing them or commenting on them. It makes it much easier for my colleagues and me to share documents in their draft layout and suggest edits. It also seems to run more smoothly and quickly than PDF viewers built into web browsers or Teams.

Acrobat is very popular in the world and secure software, so it is easy for the client to open confidential documents in Acrobat and design the document. Acrobat has a modern view, which is very easy to use. Acrobat takes less time to execute different operations in comparison with different software available in the market. Acrobat has more features available. Acrobat is available on different operating systems.

We decided to go for Adobe Acrobat in the end as it is the most well-established product with the most support. Most of our staff already had experience with Adobe Acrobat in some form or another to it allowed us to integrate the product easily into the business with minimal training given.

We used Nitro PDF and the online solution offered by Google Workspace through Google Drive to edit and download our PDF files.

We ended up accepting our very old but powerfully known brand, Adobe Acrobat.
