Adobe Acrobat Reader

Some of team members use Bluebeam to view and edit PDF documents. I find Adobe to be more user friendly but others like the added tools and functionality of Bluebeam especially when marking up construction plans and drawings.

I didn't use Chrome Data AutoPlanner

Microsoft Office works hand in hand.

The Word app included with Office 365 offers similar collaboration functionality when compared to Adobe reader but with the option to fully change the original document while reviewing. This is both an advantage and disadvantage when compared with the Adobe reader app. Documents left in the Microsoft Word format also have a tendency to appear different depending on screen size and device used and this can be frustrating for some users. Basically, if you need what you have created and formatted to stay put and to appear as you intended and be printed as you intended if needed, use the Adobe PDF format.

I like Adobe better due to its ease of use and the ability to set it as a default.

Microsoft Excel can seem busy and antique compare to Adobe [Acrobat Reader DC]. Adobe [Acrobat Reader DC] is easier to use and has a modern style [for] the visual eye.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is easier to use, more accessible, and has a stronger functionality than my experience with DocuSign. It's more intuitive for our recipients of the documents.

I use mobi format for reading on Amazon devices. Mobi is better on mobile than Adobe Acrobat but Adobe is better on PC and Mac computers.

We have reviewed DocuSign in comparison to [Adobe] Acrobat Reader [DC's] e-sign capabilities. We found that DocuSign has more robust options when creating contracts and consent capabilities. DocuSign's online UI is much more suited to this type of task as well. However, we decided to stick with [Adobe] Acrobat Reader DC because of the price (DocuSign is more expensive) and we felt we didn't need all of the bells and whistles for contract signature and consent.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is the best PDF writer hands down. It is much better in terms of being able to quickly read/do very light editing of PDF's. It tends to do better at conversion of PDF's too, and it's tools within the program tend to be easier to use and more familiar to individuals.

I do a lot of work on a second job where I need to create and use forms in PDF format that contain a lot of JavaScript in the backend to make calculations based on values entered into form fields. If I am working on a PC or a MAC computer, these all work great for JavaScript execution. However, if I move the PDF form to an iPad or iPhone, the form field calculations do not execute. Enter Readdle's PDF Expert. Installation of this app enables me to use these PDF forms on both iPhone and iPad. Also, the editing capabilities (highlighting, entering comments, and so on) work more reliably and intuitively with Readdle PDF Expert than with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Because my fulltime gig as a consultant involves using PCs, all of my PDF work there is with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Adobe Reader DC feels like the complete package. I actually have the Pro version which gives me even more options, but the reader is very impressive as well. The main benefit is the user interface. It's extremely easy to use at all ages and within cross functional teams.

We have not evaluated other products, as we are primarily an organization that uses Adobe products.

One of the main appeals of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is that it is part of the Adobe suite of products and works well with all of their other products. Additionally, the support is second to none and given the large backing of Adobe, we can rest assured that the application will continue to see updates and be a standard bearer for the PDF format. Combine it with the Adobe Creative Cloud and you can save additional costs as well. The robust features and ease of use of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot be matched by the others.

Adobe Acrobat Reader [DC] works well with all the other applications in the Adobe Suite but does not replace Adobe Acrobat Pro, which allows detailed editing of PDF documents. Because it's free, it can be installed company-wide and ensures everyone in the organization can read and view PDF documents exported from these applications.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC offers so many more features in the free version than its competitors and is way easier to use.

The Apple Preview app is simplistic and convenient for viewing PDFs, but it lacks the advanced features of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, such as document signing, customizable exporting of individual frames, and document protection. I also chose Acrobat because it comes with my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, making it a no-brainer.

I have tried many alternatives and while many of them are definitely useable, I ultimately decided that Adobe Reader DC created the PDF file format and they understand best how to make the format work. The biggest difference to Adobe Reader DC versus the alternatives is workflow. The Adobe Reader DC workflow is very streamlined and easy to use. I rarely run into issues that would cause me to have to create a workaround. So while its a bit on the pricey side it is definitely worth it from an ease of use perspective.

Both DocHub and Kami are online apps with features similar to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC but required sign-in, and some of Kami's features are locked in the free version. I am not sure if DocHub is free to non-educational institutions.

While Adobe Illustrator and Indesign are great for graphics and layout work, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC it great for more pdf specifics. There are some exporting options and things in Ai and Id but that's about it. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is great for doing things after it's all been designed and exported. It's great for more business-related items and legal documents as well. Getting signatures, file protection, and more.

I have found Abobe Acrobat [Reader DC] to be a niche product that solves a variety of business needs. It does not replace something like DocuSign, but can serve as a light version. It is more secure for sharing than something like Dropbox, and also has the ability to edit PDFs.

Actually none.

The application has overlapping functionality, but as part of an organization that leverages the rest of the Adobe family of applications, alternative applications suffer from compatibility issues and are not part of the same support network. Moreover, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is free and as such, there is no real reason to consider alternatives.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is the most trusted and widely used tool as compared to tools from other competitors. Tools has all the requisite feature needed for an organization such as document storage to the protection of documents using passwords. Pdf files created by the tool are of small size, can be compressed and merged with other pdf files for easy sharing and collaboration.

I haven't spent any real time looking into alternatives because there is no need. I've used Apple Preview for basic view, which works fine. But when it comes to doing any sort of creation or modification, this is a must. Working in photoshop works... sorta. For visual things at least.
