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.

Acrobat Makes Editing PDFs a Breeze
- The edit PDF tool is a game changer for our business. There is no other tool that is as easy to use for small, quick PDF edits.
- Adobe Acrobat makes adding, deleting, and combining PDFs very simple and seamless.
- The comment tools, and the function to share for my comments with my colleagues, makes it easy to collaborate with my team on the same PDF document.
- Although I have used the tool to create and prepare forms, it can be a little clunky and not as intuitive to use as say other form and questionnaire tools on the market. It feels like I spend too much time trying to make and optimize the form.
- The export PDF to other formats like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, image, etc. is sometimes hit or miss. I like using it to export to Word, but other formats just don't often work for me. It obviously depends on the document, but this feature is often rendered useless for me.
- The redact features should be easier to use. I find this feature to be a bit confusing the first time I used it. And I don't use the feature enough so that every time I do use it, I need to relearn how to use it.
- I wish that there were some additional snipping, copying, and pasting features for PDF documents that were included in the software.

- Accuracy when it comes to performing some term searches within a document ; for instance, for truncated words at end of lines or words with accents, capitals, special characters, etc...
- Resources consumed by the application so it remains lightweight and efficient.
- Additional improvements may be achieved when it comes to ease and speed of deployments, particularly from scripted environments.
- Sudden application crashes or errors due to unknown application bugs.
- Significant room for improvement of the intuitive and ergonomics factors, particularly when it comes to using the editing tools. For instance, to add text or objects within a document, the toolbars should be easier to use.
In addition, Adobe Acrobat is obviously the originating leader of PDF document management and therefore sets the direction and support for the product and associated standard, so that is one important reason to trust and invest in the company's product line.
