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.

I use adobe acrobat when I need to create PDFs or when I need to digitally sign a document. The software also helps when I am presenting a document to a group or when we share documents. Adobe Acrobat is used widely throughout my entire teaching facility and is sometimes used in training sessions as a means of sharing data.
- Allows for digital signatures.
- Allows you to send documents for digital signature request.
- Allows you to prepare document to be digitally signed.
- I think that Adobe Acrobat should not cost so much just to create PDFS or to sign documents.
- Allow for users to be able to import their own signatures as opposed to creating signatures in Acrobat.
- Allows for easier conversion of word documents into PDFs.

Adobe Acrobat DC has been essential to my job!
I use Adobe Acrobat DC as a PDF viewer, a PDF editor, to fill out forms that are fillable, to have my benefits forms completed by employees, to have my payroll forms completed by employees, to send protected documents, to make documents password protected, to be able to sign documents, and to view documents I receive.
- Editor, it is easy to make changes to pdfs
- viewing, viewing on adobe is simple. There are simple commands to zoom in and out
- signing, it is easy to request signatures or to sign documents that you need to sign.
- There could be more features added
- Simple command for adding and deleting pages
- deleting information on pdfs
Adobe Acrobat DC is used company-wide in our organization from reading and viewing PDFs to editing and signing critical documents. It allows us to use a program universally for all our Portable Document Format (PDF) needs.
- Create & edit shared PDF's instantly with exact text within the document
- Quickly preview and view PDF documents within Microsoft apps
- Securely sign critical digital documents with the press of a button
- Constant version updates makes it difficult to learn familiar tasks
- Ability to add multiple digital signatures to a single document

Great product for creating accessible documents
Our organization produces a large amount of content that is consumed by the general public, and other specific audiences. Our organization is required to produce content that meets accessibility standards to ensure compliance with federal accessibility laws. Our preferred document format is PDF and Acrobat DC allows our content creators to use the built-in accessibility tools to ensure that what they are creating is compliant.
- Ability to check documents for accessibility issued.
- Ability to reduce the file size of PDF documents.
- Ability to convert other document formats to PDF.
- User interface can be confusing to navigate.
- Lack of good documentation.
I use Adobe Acrobat to create fillable forms for the company, as well as update PDF files that I do not have the original and editable files for. As a designer, I also use this software for error-free, print-ready files. The fillable forms are really helpful as it elevates the company by enabling us to provide customers and affiliates with a stress-free form that they no longer need to print to fill out.
- Creation of fillable forms
- Ability to edit PDF files
- Ability to extract certain pages in the creation of a new PDF
- Creating a form isn't totally straightforward, but that might be because I am not in Acrobat every day and don't remember the little things.
- Wish Acrobat was linked up to the Creative Cloud library.
- Wish you had a preview of a font when choosing a font face.

Adobe Acrobat is the very good tool that is used in my organization vastly. The reason is in my organization there is inbuild e-office which accepts files to be uploaded only in PDF format. Thats why we need to create and share the files only in PDFs. With the help of Adobe PDF my work is little easier because is creates the PDF very easily and that too of low size and great quality. I adore how effortless it is to store, edit, and generate documents for
our weekly meetings. The ability to swiftly convert our meeting notes
and graphs is simply remarkable.

- Direct Email and Share
- OCR
- OCR for regenerating images into Text for Editing

No Brainer with Adobe Acrobat
It is used widespread for creating PDFs. I personally use it to preserve a document for record or for review/approval. It is in those instances I don't want someone to be able to edit a doc but simply review it.
- Presents info in a clean manner
- Does not allow editing of a doc
- Saves file as a PDF
- How to save a doc as a PDF could be simpler

We use Adobe Acrobat when we want to protect documents. Adobe Acrobat makes it real simple to send a document to a client to sign and we guarantee this way that the client will sign without changing the text included in the document. Adobe Acrobat is available everywhere therefore its a universal application that every person uses and no one has an issue with opening a sent document.
- Signing a document.
- Security for documents.
- Size of the file sent.
- Can open the file on a web-page even if you do not have adobe.
- Maybe the file size can be smaller or more compressed.
- Signing a document (maybe Adobe can create away to connect it to a drawing platform where you can make your own signature immediately).
- I believe Passwords can be hacked for documents through certain available applications. This needs to be worked on.

Adobe Acrobat has evolved into a stable, must-have platform for all of your document needs.
We utilize Adobe Acrobat for various reasons. Primarily anytime we want to share a document and want to keep the formatting and layout we will use Acrobat for this. We also use it to sign invoices, often converting those documents into PDFs, but then using the Signature and date fields to sign off on the invoice. Finally, we use it to mark up documents not in Word format. That annotation tool is easy to use. Ultimately it solves the issue of ensuring consistency with how the documents look.
- Maintains original document format and layout.
- Ability to easily sign a document.
- Easy to turn any document into a PDF.
- Ability to edit a PDF, even if created from another file format.
- At times, it feels like there are too many bells and whistles. I'd like to see a simplified workspace layout for the most common tasks to me.
- Sometimes larger files can get clunky when converting over to a PDF.
- I appreciate the consistency with the tools and layout of the program; however, I feel that Acrobat could use some layout updates for the software interface.

A good PDF software but not the best
We used Adobe Acrobat in Document Creation, E-Signature, File Converter, and PDF Editor. adobe covered over needs but we didn't have problems to solve with Adobe Acrobat.
- Company Profile
- Edit PDF Files
- Make Templates
- Digital Signs
- OCR English files
- OCR in Arabic was not efficient
- Reduce updates by making it as a one package.

De facto standard for all things PDF
Adobe works very well for my use case. The interface has been decluttered along the years and it's the most straight forward to use and configure.
Licenses can be easily assigned and removed based on usage and there are some editions that have the option to enable SAML integration for SSO services.
- Easy to configure
- Easy to deploy
- Really stable
- Sometimes it's difficult to find some particular functionality with all the options that it has
- The signing feature would be best in the category with a few improvements
- I don't like that you need to be extra careful when downloading the installer because it automatically adds other apps and features that you need to opt out of

Our daily work includes annotating and signing a lot of PDF documents. We do a lot of work with pdf files, it helps us to encrypt the file before sending it to others in case of sensitive information. Adobe is one of the most popular pdf solutions provider out there and we are using it quite extensively to solve our daily pdf problems.
- Signing pdf documents
- Annotation
- Encrypting pdf files
- Change UI to be more user friendly
- Give option to include branding or organisation in the themes
- Offer more customizable plans and add ons to the current offerings

May not love the subscription, but the product always works.
I use Adobe Acrobat primarily for sharing/editing documents. Normally I receive things first in Word format and then after proofreading we will convert to PDF and use adobe for further editing if needed. Adobe Acrobat is excellent for editing and very intuitive to use. I find the tools easy to identify and work with, both in the desktop and mobile version.
- Displaying two documents side by side at once.
- Editing, inserting new lines.
- Signing documents.
- I think it should be available as a one time purchase, not a subsciption.
- Document loading can be a bit slow and laggy.
- It is a little difficult to adjust column/row formatting.

A pioneer in file processing
The main idea of this application is to ease people to have a platform where they can view, create, change, print and manage their documents. This application is mainly used in our company for creating documents and presenting it to the stakeholders. It helps us crop PDF pages, change their order, manipulate hyperlinks, digitally sign a pdf file, add comments and so much more. It is also available in so many different languages, like French, German, Japanese, etc. This application is so much compatible with desktop as well as mobile. Also, there are portal in our organization where PDF is only acceptable document.

- Viewing a document

Produces professional-quality PDF's for any purpose
I use Acrobat to produce reports, professional announcements and advertisements, etc. We use the product on a weekly or monthly basis for generation of documents, electronic signatures, and producing high quality deliverables for a range of government and academic clients. We have found that this product is beneficial beyond the basic Adobe Acrobat Reader because the ease of use allows rapid development of documents without having to go through our organization's editors, which saves time and money for our project and clients.
- Combine, rearrange, and edit PDF documents
- Produce reports, advertisements, and professional announcements
- Convert documents from Word to PDF and compress the size for email transfer
- The program is versatile, but cost prohibitive compared to other applications (Adobe Reader for reading, CutePDF for converting Word to PDF
- Ease of integrating electronic signatures into documents
- Generating PDF forms can be complicated

Adobe Acrobat does what it's meant to do
Adobe Acrobat is one of the main programs that I use for my work. It is used for reading all the pdf plans that we get to creating all our plans that we creat with our drawing program. Most everthing that we get in is through a pdf and that is the program that we use for it.
- Reading a pdf is the main the most improtant function
- IF a pdf needs to be edited then you can also do it with adobe.
- Adding notes, redlines, clouded areas, highlights, just about anythig for revisions, corrections and questions on pdfs, Adobe Acrobat can do it.
- The tool bar could be more user friendly or be able to set it up the way I would like it to be.
We do a lot with PDFs and the ability to edit them is key. Adobe Acrobat DC is the program I choose because of the ease of use, quick learning curve and reliable results. The conversion aspect is one of my favorite parts.
- Edit PDFs.
- Convert PDFs.
- None.

It is being used in our department and across the organization. It allows us to create/edit branded PDFs for use with front-end clients.

- Scan Form
- Convert other filetypes to PDFs

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
- Non-editable once shared
- Layout issues when creating documents
