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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use the Creative Cloud version of Acrobat to read PDFs. One thing I really like to use Acrobat for is combining PDF documents or editing them and removing pages from the PDFs. It's very useful when you're using it for the right reasons. Another thing I like is converting the PDF to a Word document so others can fill in their own writing.
Pros
  • Access / read PDFs
  • Edit PDFs
  • Convert PDFs
Cons
  • Maintain the layout when converting; sometimes, it loses the layout, and things are misaligned.
  • This makes it easier to write in custom text on a PDF, but sometimes I have to convert it from a PDF to a doc to achieve.
  • Menu could be easier to find things.
Likelihood to Recommend
I don't have many reasons not to use Acrobat when using PDFs. It's certainly the go-to. I recommend using the Creative Cloud paid plan through Adobe instead of the free version. You get a lot more features.

I use Adobe Acrobat DC for easy transfer of proposals to donors. I know that what the proposal looks like for me will be the same as what they see no matter what type of computer they use. We also use it for easy signatures on documents. It is a great program for so many businesses uses.
Pros
  • Ensures that others see the document the same way
  • Makes routing for signatures easy
  • Allows for easy commenting and editing between users
Cons
  • Not everything is intuitive
Likelihood to Recommend
I have only used Adobe Acrobat Pro in a nonprofit setting - but I see how it could be very useful in any business setting.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Adobe Acrobat DC remains to be the best PDF editor in my whole career. It brings a lot of features to the table and even though it may seem a lot to use it firsthand, the interface of the software guides the user of its functions. If you're looking for a simple, straightforward PDF editor, Adobe Acrobat DC is for you. Our team's document controller uses this to streamline our workflows and processes. It's integration with other Adobe products and cloud services also promotes productivity within the design teams, project management teams, and procurement teams.
Pros
  • PDF editing
  • Document Controls
  • Password Protection
  • Cloud-based services
  • Integration with other Adobe products
Cons
  • Too much information all at once.
  • Expensive
  • Short Trial Period
Likelihood to Recommend
Usability. Adobe Acrobat DC is best known for its user interface. It has been able to establish itself as enhanced usability of this product. Return of investment, faster speed in pdf processing. The product is highly secure and may be provided with password protection. It increases the proficiency of its users over time.

The cloud-based service helps our work from home staffs manage the documents remotely. The document control team uses this to streamline the ongoing workflows with the design team and the client's teams.

  • The PDF compile feature is done well.
  • Editing a PDF inside Acrobat is also a favorite.
  • AI assistant is new and so far I like it for shortening text in a document.
Cons
  • Compiling documents together even if they are not PDF would be nice.
  • It would be nice to find tutorials for new options.

When I am getting multiple PDF documents from multiple people and I need to compile them and summarize them.
