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.

A Must for Any Business.
- Reviewing high-resolution PDFs for print production.
- Creating and customizing forms.
- Exporting PDFs to different file formats.
- Took sometime to figure out how to customize my toolbar.
January 16, 2024
Trustworthy product for digital signage!
- Easy to understand- the program has a very intuitive layout that is great for people who doesn't use the product very much
- Includes all features you might need. There are many features I didn't even think we would need that they have included.
- They have a very recognizable name so my clients feel they can trust what they are being asked to open/sign since the Adobe name is next to it.
- It's a heavy program. This means a lot of RAM is utilized when doing something even pretty small just by running the program
- The digital signature portion is a little tricky to understand. There is not a lot of documentation around securing and saving the multiple digital signatures you're able to create.

January 16, 2024
Easy to Use with Great Features!
- Creating forms
- Signing documents
- Adding photos to documents
- creating price pages and brochures for our accounts
- Adding a checkbox or a radio button to a form can be challenging, because Adobe tries to add an additional box or button when you edit the size or click elsewhere on the document unless you back out of it.
January 16, 2024
Reading, editing and security everywhere.
- Creation of documents for records.
- Editing documents, such as forms.
- Ease and practicality in use.
- Given my needs and use, I have nothing to point out as an improvement, as it works well in my case.
January 16, 2024
The gold standard for secure or high-quality documents.
- Creates signable and secure documents
- Creates non-editable, high-quality digital files
- Creates output files for high quality printing
- Doesn't have the best or easiest interface for adding comments
- Would like to see the ability to review / add comments
- Don't like that I have to be online / signed in with Creative Suite to view PDFs—adding that was a miss for me.
January 16, 2024
Adobe Acrobat leads the competition
- Hi-Res Print ready artwork
- Low-Res files for editing purposes
- Enables jpg files to be made for posting to social media etc.
- Easy to upload to websites/apps
- I'd like to see compression improved when saving low-res files. Files are sometimes still to large to email to clients.
- Editing of files could be improved if Acrobat imported missing fonts.
- Make PDFs fully transferable to other Adobe products so fonts are outlined in certain ones.

Adobe Acrobat: The Perfect PDF Companion
- PDF Creation and Editing - The platform excels in this regard above competitors. Users can also convert documents from various formats into PDFs and make modifications to existing PDFs.
- Security - Built-in features give users the ability to encrypt PDFs, set password protection, and control access permissions. This ensures confidentiality and integrity for sensitive files.
- Interactive Forms - Users can actually create forms with text fields, checkboxes, and drop-down menus. This is helpful for data collection.
- Collaboration - Users can also collaborate on documents giving multiple individuals the ability to review, edit or comment.
- OCR Features - I don't think most folks realize the poweful ability of this. Users can scan documents, open in Adobe, and now the documents are searchable or editable.
- Adobe Acrobat comes at a price. While it is likely the gold standard, it can be relatively expensive to obtain all of these pro features if you are an individual user or small business.
- Complexity - Due to all of the advanced features, it may be overwhelming for new users or individuals who do not need all of these features and capabilities.
- Mobile app has room for improvement.
- It would be nice to see some sort of Cloud integration feature with Google Drive or other platforms.

Adobe Acrobat Great For All Your PDF Needs!
- Preserving information
- Signing documents
- Providing security for confidential documents
- As we have some very large files, opening and editing these PDFs can be slow and unweildy.
- The Fill & Sign tool does not function as well as DocuSign nor is it as easy to use.
- The Fill & Sign tool sometimes creates error in a document, making it hard for our clients to use.

- Allows for multiple stakeholders to feed in on assets
- Helps do easy signature adding to contracts/review contracts quickly

January 16, 2024
Adobe Acrobat: Great for Feedback and Review Process
- PDF reviewing: edits, comments and other feedback
- Ability to rearrange pages in a file easily
- Signatures
- We've found that some people struggle with its editing features because they are only available to others with Adobe Acrobat PRO. That means we constantly have to work in different non-PDF versions instead of one streamlined document.

Adobe Acrobat Review
- Connection/sharing through cloud for easy access
- Capturing signatures for any document
- Converting other Adobe files (word, excel) into PDFs
- I have not come across any issues, functionality is good for the extent of my use
January 16, 2024
Don't know what I'd do without Adobe Acrobat!
- Optimized Character Recognition
- User Friendly Toolbar
- Plug-in options
- Merging other file types int a PDF
- I wish there was a quick fix for when OCR turns lowercase "L" into "1" and other such similar conversions.
- The plug-in I use for naming documents when splitting a PDF is great, but it should really be a built-in feature of Adobe Acrobat.
- Easy to use tools
- Prepare, organize, and edit PDF files
- Simplifies collaboration
- Creates professional finalized documents
- Sometimes the different versions get mixed up on the computer so when I'm trying to use the big, powerful version my doc opens in the reader which doesn't have the same functionality.
- Sometimes I can't find the bookmarks bar and have to search for it... it'd be nice if you could customize the toolbars so that was always visible... oh my goodness --- i just went looking for it and figured out how to customize the toolbar!!! Cool!
- Sometimes it'd be helpful to be able to adjust the boxes that come in when you try to edit the text.
