It has had positive impact in that it has save considerable costs vs. investing in cloud-based/subscription based software.

In terms of security, it also has had a positive impact, in that it doesn't really require IT staff to take the time to patch the software or work on issues with the software.

It has also had a positive impact in that it has not required formal training for users to be able to use the software.

I've mentioned a couple of times in this review how Adobe Acrobat can potentially save a considerable amount of money by reducing or eliminating the need to printing to paper. Many have no idea how much money is spent not only on paper and toner, but on the cost of the printers themselves - especially when there are fees for the number of pages printed. Print to PDF is a huge cost savings.

On the other hand, in a very large enterprise the licensing of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC can become quite large in a hurry. If you have four or five people using the software, the cost can be easily justified. On the other hand, if you have 2,000 - 3,000+ seats using it, then licensing can become quite cost prohibitive -- annually.
