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.

We love to use Adobe Acrobat in this office for a variety of different reasons. One of the main, and simplest reason, is just to combine PDFs. Another simple reason is converting files to PDF with just one click. I will say, that I'm not the biggest fan of the new update.

It is well suited for reading documents. It is well suited for populating documents where you have to put in name/address/etc. It is well suited for documents that you need to provide a signature on, especially since you can draw your own signature using the mouse, which, to me, provides additional security.

Well-suited: Creating Fillable Forms: For businesses that require data collection through forms, Acrobat's tool to create and manage fillable PDF forms is extremely useful. These forms can be distributed digitally and filled out electronically.
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.

It works really well to create docs that are linkable from a website. We don't really want to put in Word Docs to link to because someone can just take that an easily edit it. Adobe adds in an extra layer of protection. Not sure it works as well when you're sending docs that you want feedback on, because it's more cumbersome to edit and make changes, but for static docs that are just meant to be read, this is perfect.

If a colleague needs PDF file functionality that is not supplied within the free Adobe Reader software, we acquire a license for that employee. It is suitable for office assistants, communications staff, legal staff and management mainly within our organization. For HR and Legal purposes we use the option to have documents digitally signed by a group of people as well.

best suited for scenarios where documents need to be converted to pdf and conversion back to word or excel but less suited to environment where document is mixture of text ,tables and pictures and converting back pdf documents to documents where pictures and tables are required.So it is more suitable for digital trasformation of documents along with latest features of digisign etc

I create fillable forms from documents we normally have clients fill out, which allows them to complete them online rather than printing, filling in and sending back. It is more convenient and saves time.

Adobe Acrobat is best suited for sharing PDFs between lots of people, especially when others need to provide comments, edits, changes, etc. If all you need to do is read a PDF and nothing more, you probably don't need it, but I still like how it functions better than my browser (Firefox). It's not appropriate for making lots of changes, such as moving images around.

Acrobat is very useful in printing a PDF document as it takes very little time to print a document. Also, there are multiple good features in print, like quick printing is possible, both sides printing is also there, and multiple pages printing is also there, etc. The sign feature is very helpful and widely used, and there is trust in Acrobat for the sign feature on confidential documents and other software that is not globally trusted. An area where Acrobat is appropriate is that subscription costs are on the higher side if compared with other software available in the market. Different variants of Acrobat are available in the market, so it is sometimes difficult to understand which one to buy.

It is very well suited for creating smart one-pagers for distribution within the business to give people the key points for the week. Great for making posters and displays too

However it can be a little difficult to edit without a desktop PC and for making longer form text documents

Very well suited to MailMerge (originating from MS Word) purposes for the ease of splitting separate documents out. Also utilised well for fillable forms that you want limited editing abilities on, e.g. certain fields to be filled out but the remainder of the form to remain as templated. Provides a good uneditable document if needing to provide a more official/genuine document, e.g. certificate of service that you don't want a team member to be able to edit. I find Adobe Acrobat less suitable for a full end-to-end document signing process, and any very detailed forms are sometimes better created in another application.

One of the best time to use Adobe Acrobat is to make small changes to PDFs. We have some templates that we can use for fliers announcing recurring events. However, if there are changes that need to be made to text headers or to add more information, you can do it with Adobe Acrobat that goes beyond a normal template.

Mostly used in our cases for contracts, agreements, and document creation for signature specifically. Besides that, it can be used for everyone who would like to manage a robust format for documents and be able to edit them later. Word is strongly necessary since it allows more options to format related things but Adobe Acrobat is well accustomed to it.

The updates Adobe has made to their 'Export' product are extremely improved and noticeable. Previously, for any export from Adobe to Excel or Word, the worksheet/document wasn't the same, and the formatting would look awful. However, now, each export looks exactly the same - the streamlined product makes it so much easier to convert PDFs when needed.

Working in an ad agency, it is critical to control versioning. With Acrobat, we can easily see who has reviewed, when they reviewed, and the version they reviewed. This is important because pharma clients are ultra-picky when it comes to ensuring best practices are followed and FDA guidelines are adhered to. Acrobat puts us in the best position to do that.

If you plan on sharing a layout and want it to appear the same no matter what platform, then Acrobat is a good start. It's easy to use, and the free reader plugin (and most browsers also can read it) makes it quick for end users. If you need a cheap PDF creator, acrobat might not be the one as it's a monthly charge.

Adobe Acrobat is well suited for working with any PDF file you will come into contact with. Adobe's business practices are what hurt the software the most. Making Acrobat a cloud subscription service, as well as requiring an Adobe account before you can even use the software as well as requiring an internet connection to even be able to open the program. The software is awesome, but it feels like they are trying to get every penny they can out of you at every turn.
