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 Acrobat DC is an ideal all-in-one PDF file editing and management tool for anyone who regularly deals with PDF files, which we believe includes most people working in an office environment. The software is probably overkill for businesses or persons that only occasionally need to edit PDF documents or convert MS Word or PowerPoint files to PDF.

Some scenarios where Acrobat is well suited is when used in-office setting or companies where a lot of documents are prepared and most require digital signatures. I think Acrobat is well suited for any occasion and has the capability to be useful to just about anyone in the right situation.

I use Adobe Acrobat DC every day at work. I simply could not work without it. It makes my job so much easier because I can easily view PDFs. I can also easily convert documents to PDFs. I can make my documents PDFs with fillable sections to make electronic enrollment forms and electronic payroll forms. It is helping us become more virtual and paperless and making everything easier.

I received a final PDF document from a team member and realized there was a typo within the document. Using Adobe Acrobat DC I was able to edit the document and fix the typo instantly without needing to find out what font/size/characters they had used. Adobe Acrobat DC was able to match identically the font used so it looks as if nothing had been touched. It saved me a great deal of time and avoided a potential headache. Highly recommend utilizing the Edit Text feature.

From our experience using Adobe Acrobat DC, we have found it to be highly effective when creating documents that are required to be accessible for users with disabilities. The accessibility checker quickly creates a report showing what issues exist within the document. Unfortunately, it can be a little confusing for some users as to where to find the accessibility checker.

Acrobat is hands-down the best software that I've used for creating a fillable form. It's pretty straight forward once you've been using the software a bit, though it is easy to forget little things that make life easier if you only use the software a few times a year. Everyone is always so happy when the form is complete because it's a step to making the end-user's job easier.

Adobe Acrobat is very well used to convert any documents into PDF . It is great tool for the purpose. It suites well in budget and with great quality outputs . Whenever my team and I need to keep a document and have it reviewed, we use it. However, we don't use its full capability to take notes or get feedback directly within the document, but instead, we do it in our communication platform. Simplifying its usage could potentially encourage us to utilize this feature more frequently.

It is the default for our organization. Any PDF created is done in Adobe Acrobat. My team and I use it any time we want to preserve a doc and have someone review it. We don't use it fully to get notes/feedback right within the doc and instead do it in our communication platform. Making it even easier to use might lead us to start using this feature more.

We needed to send several contracts to clients and we did not want any editing to take place to these documents and Adobe Acrobat did the job for us where they were sent for signature, signed and returned back safe. We did not need to re-check the contents again by anyone.

I feel that Acrobat is universal enough that someone in our organization who might struggle with technology could still easily use Adobe Acrobat for the more common features. I do agree that not every document we markup needs to get converted into a PDF, so in those scenarios commenting on a non-PDF document also works for most in our organization. It just really matters when we want to ensure consistency in the layout of the original document and to prevent from editing that layout.

Adobe Acrobat works great for everything related to PDF files and publishing documents. It is very well suited for non tech-savvy users when you have basic needs or just need general PDF tasks.

When it comes to more complicated tasks or advanced features, users may struggle a little with the distribution of Adobe's tools and where to locate certain functionalities.

It is excellent for a work environment where everyone has the same software and they can easily share and colaborate on a document, and you know everyone will be able to open and use the item. It is more difficult if not everyone has access to Adobe products and/or the ability to use a subscription service. If that's the case, I might be more inclined to use a free option (like google Docs) because you know it is universally available. Adobe Acrobat as a product though, is excellent at what it does.

Adobe Acrobat is suited in every area of our life. Creating resumes to exporting it to a different document type, to help adding a comment, to giving print options. The experience is surreal and absolutely error-free. The pdf documents can be presented anywhere and to anyone.
I think its not suited scenarios are very less, since this application fits everywhere.

The acrobat tool has a wide range of capabilities to produce high-quality professional PDF documents without extensive training. Compared to other applications like Reader (which only allows reading of PDF's) and CutePDF (which only prints documents as PDF's), Acrobat allows you to combine, rearrange, edit, etc. to produce documents to suit a range of applications. Although it is easy to use for basic functions, some features are better suited to power-users and somewhat clunky, so novices may encounter issues. For instance, a separate addon is required for encrypted electronic signatures in documents.

I do a lot of technical documentation and the ability to put data into a format where it can be used by readers on a variety of devices and with different reading capabilities makes PDFs the best choice. I’ll take As-Built drawings and put them into PDF format then edit with this.

It's super easy for Adobe Acrobat to create PDFs from other file types. We use it daily for this purpose. For instance, a financial advisor might need to create a one-page document to distribute about an event, at which case we would then create it using Adobe Acrobat. If the document needs to have more design elements in it, then it would not be appropriate.

Adobe Acrobat was critical for me while I was in college and doing internships as I worked as a graphic/web designer. It made exporting proper files really quick and easy. My uses for it with my current job are slightly different, but it is an integral part of my daily work day, and I can imagine not having access to it.
