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.

We use Adobe Acrobat for all of our PDFs that run through projects. It's perfect for highlighting within academic articles to help us with strategic positioning day to day. We use the comment feature to add our thoughts and work as a team without having to be in person. It also allows us to edit previous documents with charts and analytics that we can then copy over to presentations. It's very simple to use and allows us to easily navigate day to day projects.
- Easy Exporting - Whether that be taking articles from the internet and turning them into PDFs or transforming our Microsoft powerpoints into easy to read PDFs.
- When I got this job, Adobe Acrobat made it very easy for me to sign my onboarding documents, and I often use the sign feature in my personal and corporate life.
- The comment feature allows my team to work effectively and efficiently together despite being in a hybrid workspace.
- Sometimes I have issues with getting Adobe Acrobat to load. It may be a personal computer problem, but it is one of the only apps I struggle with loading documents.
- The highlight feature is sensitive, causing me to have to zoom in close if I want to highlight specific areas near text that is already highlighted.
- The scroll feature can be sensitive as well when I present files to my team over Microsoft Teams. I am not sure if there is a setting that can fix that so it would be nice to know.

Great product
We use it to make agreements and contracts that we use for selling services to our customers. We also use it to create fliers for both internal and external usage. This addresses sales and marketing needs for our business. I use the software extensively, nearly every day, to create these documents for my company. I create contest fliers, promotional/marketing fliers, and all of our agreements. I also use it to convert our SOPs from Word documents to PDFs.
- Fillable fields
- Universal file format

An all-in-one solution for your PDF file editing, manipulation, and management needs.
We use Adobe Acrobat DC to edit, manipulate, and manage PDF files. More specifically, Adobe Acrobat DC helps us edit text, add comments, merge and split files, remove and rearrange pages within a PDF document, convert Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files to PDF, and complete PDF forms and sign them. We can execute all these functions in one software package, which is convenient and improves our productivity.
- Editing text in PDF documents
- Adding comments to PDF documents
- Splitting and merging PDF files
- Converting Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files to PDF
- Filling in PDF forms and adding a signature to them
- The program was slow to launch, but we fixed this issue by deselecting "Enable protected mode at start up" in the settings.
- Other than the above issue, I cannot think of any other areas for improvement.

Adobe Acrobat DC
I use the Adobe Acrobat DC Pro version to manipulate PDF files. Mostly adding pages and snips from the clipboard.
- Shows the layout of the document so it is easy to move pages around
- OCR (Optical character Recognition) works well
- Converts a PDF back to Word or Excel

Great way to share documents without worrying about them being changed.
I often get production outlines and scripts from clients as PDF files, as well as deliver the same to clients. Acrobat gives us an easy means to exchange any written material that can universally be viewed by any user with the same formatting the writer intended. It has the added bonus of being able to form fields, such as a signature area for sign-offs.
- Creates an uneditable document to share with clients.
- Incorporates images and graphics easily.
- Is universally readable without the need for MS Word, or Mac Pages.
- Transferring formatting to word documents when text is copied and pasted from Acrobat.
- Some of the selection tools aren't exactly intuitive.

Market Leader
Having a consulting arm in the business, we usually have a lot of qualitative data coming in the form of PDFs. That's what we primarily use Adobe Acrobat DC for. It's great for having multiple reading sessions, and the tools like highlighting and comments make collaborative work much easier.
- User tools.
- Multiple sessions.
- Annotations.
- Freemium version is restrictive.
- The user interface is outdated.
- Cross-device integration needs improvements.

Adobe Acrobat is my go-to software for editing, creating, and e-singing files, yet the possibilities seem endless. This product is essential for business needs and useful during my tutoring experience. The discount for teachers and students is an extraordinary perk. I highly recommend this product and trusted brand.
- Editing features.
- Cloud Sharing.
- E-signage.
- Export feature.
- Affordable pricing.
- User friendly.
- Business solutions.
- Additional space in the Notes section would be a plus.

A great Product for all ages and corporates.
Creating and sharing secured documentation has never been easy with Adobe Acrobat. Also, with new fill and sign features, it saves a lot of physical hard copies of documents, and the design option makes everything available digitally. Easy to find and keep them safe over shared cloud storage is a boon. No other competitors in the market.
- Secured documentation.
- Esign
- Policies
- UI can be better.
- Opening documents should be made faster.
- Editing features.
- Pricing.

Adobe Acrobat DC has Helped us with Document Processing
I use Adobe Acrobat DC to convert Microsoft Office files to PDF for distribution to our board members and others. I also use it to obtain signatures inside and outside our organization which helps to maintain a level of security with our corporate documents and makes it easier for our directors and trustees to complete their duties.
- I love the add-on for Microsoft Office. It makes it easy to convert documents on the spot.
- The ability to convert old PDF or scanned documents to Word has saved me hours in retyping a document that we don't have the original Word file for.
- I personally haven't got the hang of creating fillable PDF forms, but our Communications department has done that for several documents for me and it's wonderful!
- I'd like to be able to more easily break out documents that are sent in one email request. If I attach three separate documents to the signature request, I'd like to get back three separate documents so I don't have to do it later on.
- When I try to create a fillable form, it doesn't always work out. It could very well be a user error, but I am reading directions from your help section as I do it, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong or why the final product doesn't work out.

Easy for everyone
I use Adobe Acrobat DC to share files with others in my departments as well as others in partnering departments to ensure formatting stays intact. Adobe Acrobat also allows for light editing by other users. I also send Adobe PDFs to commercial printers to give them a reference point of how the final file should look. Some printers choose to print directly from the PDFS.
- Locks in formatting
- Easily editable by others
- Compatible with many platforms
- More editing features
- smaller file sizes

Adobe Acrobat DC and other Useful Tools.
We use it for rolling up documents and submitting proposals to potential clients (starts in several Word docs - > heavy edits -> final docs converted to separate PDFs -> PDFs get rolled into one document -> necessary header/footers inserted - > generally submitted electronically. Also, for signing contracts that have been awarded to the firm. Another useful tool is the Export function. We are able to take PDFs exported from Project Management tools and export them into a Powerpoint or Word file. Useful for including in new proposals and or presentations.
- Combines Documents.
- Redacts
- Exports
- None that I can think of.
