We use Adobe Acrobat to create manuals, copies of invoices and orders, as well as extracting and higlighting parts of manuals or specifications and How-To's as a means of helping customers. We also use it to create forms and FAQ's for our products which we then publish on our Website.

We use Adobe Acrobat to create forms, letters, price sheets, and brochures. The ability to add pictures to forms, request signatures on documents, and sign documents sent to us is appreciated. Prior to using Adobe, we had other software that was not as easy to navigate, and it did not always allow us to create what was needed. We also were not able to create the same fillable forms that we can with Adobe. Some customers did not have the ability to complete a form sent in a Microsoft Word or Excel file. Adobe has been a great tool.

We use it to create secure files for review, to create and annotate creative proofs for review, and to create non-editable and sharable forms of presentations. It's the gold standard for secure documents as well as for creative documents, which is unusual—but it works really well and always has, in my opinion.

We use Adobe Acrobat for a multitude of purposes. Low Res proofs/visuals for approval for client departments. Press-ready artwork with crop marks/bleed for printers to produce our flyers/brochures/business cards etc. We produce jpg files from Acrobat files for posting on social media channels. We also post PDFs on our websites/apps and other platforms as required. Acrobat allows a quick turnaround from the initial brief to the final artwork via the other software from the Adobe Creative Suite that we use to design our various projects. It is invaluable for editing as client departments will make notes on proofs and send them back for updates on their projects, it makes the workflow quick and easy. We use the product every single day on virtually everything we do and could not get by without it.

Adobe Acrobat is used in various forms both professionally and personally. In my experience, I've found it to be the gold standard for working with or manipulating PDFs. Users have the ability to open, edit, dictate, insert signatures, create PDFs, combine files, add comments and markups, as well as so much more. I think my primary usage is for adding or inserting text onto a PDF, as well as signing off (using the built-in signature feature). I would rank Adobe Acrobat in the necessary category - it's a tool that I would not be able to live without given my daily workflow and tasks.

We use Acrobat on a daily basis. We prepare a lot of reports in word processing programs that are in turn saved as PDFs in Acrobat to lock down the information. These reports are our end product, as we are a service company, so Acrobat is integril in running our business.

We use Adobe Acrobat for all of our PDF and design collateral work. Adobe Acrobat makes it extremely helpful for our creative design and product marketing/local marketing teams to design new content and collateral, commenting with amends and managing files through review stages with multiple stakeholders in different timezones. Adobe Acrobat is very useful for version control and ensuring we can feed in multiple levels of feedback and save lengthy emails or slacks with back and forth descriptions of what needs amending. Much easier and faster to mark up in file.

We use Adobe Acrobat for various PDF files and presentations to share with clients, such as SOWs/estimates and creative deliverable presentations. We also use Adobe Acrobat as a way to sync feedback and changes both for the internal team and clients. It allows us to streamline and track changes across multiple groups of people and versions.

In a post-covid office environment, we've switched to emailing PDFs of letters that we used to send by snail mail. In my 15+ years of using Adobe Acrobat it has gotten way more "intelligent" and I love that PDF's are usually searchable or can easily be made searchable. I found a great plug-in that allows customized naming for each document when you split a big PDF (like mail merged letters) into individual pages. This has saved me so much time and eliminated the potential for error when naming documents manually.

We use Adobe Acrobat every day to read, edit and send pdfs. In my department, we export from InDesign into PDFs to send docs to others in the organization to be proofed/edited and then we use those finalized documents to send pdfs to clients and others outside of the organization. The program allows you to easily edit and rearrange PDF files. There's also a great option to leave comments, tagging the person whose feedback you are looking to get. I highly recommend this product.

I am a gift officer for a charitable organization and use Adobe Acrobat every day when I work. It is an essential program that allows me to support my stakeholders in a professional manner. Whether it is for issuing compliant charitable tax receipts, updating pledge agreements etc. without having to go back to the source file or compiling document packages for our Board of Directors, it allows me to function smoothly and quickly throughout my day.

Our department utilizes Adobe Acrobat for advertising flyers, social media posts and video editing. We also utilize Adobe Acrobat to edit PDF files. Adobe Acrobat helps with making marketing visuals more appealing. It is our go to way to edit and produce videos for our social media outlets. We have other programs, but Adobe Acrobat is our main source.

We use Adobe Acrobat for processing invoices to PDF. We use Adobe Acrobat to document/save files electronically. We are able to edit PDF's to add notes and address markups before finalizing documents. We are paperless and Adobe Acrobat allows us to add notes and comments so that we can track history on statements.

We use Adobe Acrobat as strictly a PDF viewer and have another program (Kofax) for full OCR and document editing. I do have colleagues who use it as their primary PDF management program and enjoy its features. We do not impose strict or uniform program usage in our business for PDF viewers but Adobe Acrobat is on every computer.

Adobe Acrobat is the gold standard in creating, viewing and editing pdfs, and now with verified signature capabilities, it really does set the standard. Utilizing it as the default pdf/document viewer allows you to open nearly any standard document across the internet or as e-mail attachments. The ability to convert pdfs into searchable and editable text is also very worthwhile.

We use Adobe Acrobat to invoice our clients, to create signable contracts for potential customers, and to protect documents with sensitive information. We utilize the cloud based storage for important documents and for sending contracts for signatures. Adobe Acrobat is a very large part of our everyday work flows and is very beneficial.

I use Adobe Acrobat mainly for pdf editing and creation. I find it to be the simplest way to update text, add/delete pages, and combine pdf documents. <br>I also use it quite extensively to add security to pdf documents to limit access to those who have authorization to view the document.

Our company presentations, both written and visual are core to our business. Adobe Acrobat has been a standard office tool for over a decade. We use it to create presentations that are sent to clients. We use the organize pages and edit functions for both business and client reports. The best thing about Adobe Acrobat is; it gives us peace of mind. When we send a document, we know that it will appear the same way on the sendee's computer as it does on ours.

I use Adobe Acrobat in many different ways. Whether it's creating and editing pdfs for print and web, building out fillable and signable forms for key departments, reorganizing and merging multiple documents together, or simply transforming a word doc into something universally viewable by our internal and external constituents. It's one of the most frequently used tools in my day to day work.

I use it as part of the publication process for certain documents. I also use it to edit existing documents. I also use it to share design projects at different stages. I am able to share a lot of content while not always having a large single file making deliver much easer in most cases.
