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.

Acrobat is the go-to PDF viewer and editor for business applications, from marking up floor plans for new builds to providing comments on proposals to merging documents. Adobe Acrobat does it all and more.

The feature I use most in Adobe Acrobat is 'organize pages, ' which allows me to move the documents around and add/remove them as well. I work with a lot of real estate agents, and one of the items I need to provide their office is the final communication. So, I would need to print all the emails related to that transaction and put them into one PDF file. So, organizing files is one feature I absolutely love. Secondly, I like that I have the ability to edit and add text.

Adobe Acrobat is very important for the design area since in many cases it allows quick edits of artwork sent by clients in PDF format. In many cases to correct or add some text. It is also great for merging PDF files and for some printers with special configuration, there are plugins to facilitate the desired printing.

We use Acrobat on a daily basis. My job is art director. After I've designed a piece, I create a PDF to send to the marketers for review and markup. I receive the PDF back with their edits and comments. Another useful feature is the ability to make interactive PDFs with live links and fillable forms. Finally, when a job is complete and approved, we send high resolution PDFs to the printer and it's very efficient to have all fonts and imaged embedded in one file. This program is invaluable to our agency. I have always found it to work seamlessly, contributing to a smooth workflow in our company.

I use Adobe Acrobat to access PDF documents, create them, compress them, and adapt them. Acrobat has been an essential part of my business operations in day-to-day work and for the delivery of finished products for clients. The ability to subtly edit documents and combine multiple documents into a single PDF has made my work much easier over the years.

I use the Creative Cloud version of Acrobat to read PDFs. One thing I really like to use Acrobat for is combining PDF documents or editing them and removing pages from the PDFs. It's very useful when you're using it for the right reasons. Another thing I like is converting the PDF to a Word document so others can fill in their own writing.

We use Adobe Acrobat to share documents that have been completed in other programs that others do not have access to or should not be able to edit. It provides a consistent and professional platform for sharing documents of all kinds via email, marketing automation programs, media management tools, and our website.

In the real estate and mortgage business we utilize Acrobat for nearly everything from writing letters of explanation which require signatures, to opening documents the client sends us in a pdf format. The security features which limit any editing, the search functions if I'm looking for certain items within a document, and the ability to send documents over for signature/review via my cell phone makes my job a lot quicker and easier for myself and my clients. Being able to transfer a Word document to Adobe is paramount to our business.

We use Adobe Acrobat for almost all of our sales and legal documents. We are especially grateful for the tools that allow us to modify a template document to make it applicable to each individual use. The alerts for issues and the ability to make notes and track changes is also very helpful. We also use the export of various PDF's to other programs frequently. Overall, we trust and use Adobe Acrobat daily.

I use this program to read and edit pdfs with my third party vendors. This allows me to work quickly and efficiently when I’m in my office or traveling for work. Being able to quickly get work done and have all my information in one place is great. Contracts, event prospectus and data sheets are made easier to work with.

We use it in many ways - for professional documents, and personal. Many times I need to merge documents and edit part of the file. Adobe Acrobat makes it so much easier to make these changes. You can scan them into the files and edit with Adobe Acrobat in a simple step or two compared to other programs.

I use Adobe Acrobat on a daily basis. We manage large educational books and other literature and Adobe Acrobat allows us to use "edit .pdf" without opening each and every individual file to do so. This is a real time-saver for us. When we submit art for review, several marketing specialists and/or managers will ask specifically for a .pdf file to share with their client to gather their feedback. Adobe Acrobat is easily opened by most and can also gather notes, comments. I'd have a very hard time getting my job done without access to Adobe Acrobat.

We use Adobe Acrobat for PDF creation, manipulation, combination, modification, and e-signatures. We have had as many as 30 seats at times but have reduced recently for other products in the AEC industry. Although Adobe Acrobat is still prevalent, I truly believe a refresh is desperately needed, especially in the areas of the Cloud and update delivery and notification.

I use Adobe Acrobat to format correspondence and edit spreadsheets on a daily basis. Also, being able to convert files into PDF form is extremely helpful! The ease of use is a very attractive quality. I like that you don't have to be a computer wiz in order to take advantage of all of the useful features that Adobe Acrobat offers.

Adobe is used daily. We have a lot of designs that go out to subcontractors and other people. I have to make sure that the documents are not easily modified as well since there are numerous vendors who I do not know personally. Thus with this it is very difficult for anyone to change it without having the correct program.

We use it to convert PDFs to word documents mainly as there are lots of policies that get created here that need amending quite often.

We also use it to save PDF images in different file formats, and also to edit both shared and confidential documents.

It is something that we use almost daily.

I use Acrobat Acrobat primarily to preflight client submitted PDF files for color separations, to create interactive forms, and to extract elements or pages for publication assembly. It's not a great tool for editing: the best way to edit a PDF is to make the changes in the original software that made it, be that Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop or whatever you've used to create the PDF, but for simple edits, such as changing a date, correcting a misspelled word, or deleting unwanted elements, it's sufficient. It's also valuable for setting up security when sending proofs to new clients, in order to prevent them from casually using proofs as artwork, and you can password protect features such as editing and printing resolution. Another nice feature which I find myself using a lot, is editing of scanned text; Adobe Acrobat works as good if not better in a lot of cases at converting scanned text to editable text than even some dedicated OCR software that I've used, and that can be a time saver.

Beyond the need to read PDF files, we use Adobe Acrobat for the Sign capabilities to manage paperless workflow and security. Some have the ability to use the edit feature to open and edit existing PDF files. It has been a wonderful tool for workflow.

As an instructional designer, I’ve used Acrobat to create interactive learning interactions. This allows us to create documents that are tailored to the needs of our various programs and learners. The features in the Pro edition allows us to edit previously created PDFs and customize for a specific purpose, essentially providing enterprise templates we can adjust accordingly.

Used to edit business documents upon demand when in PDF format. Also use for exporting PDF documents to other formats when required. I use Acrobat on at least a daily basis for this. Acrobat is also used to edit scanned documents when the individual text in the scan needs to be identified.
