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.

Adobe Acrobat helps us to manage our PDF database with ease and efficiency. It has largely simplified the process of creating, editing, converting, and sharing PDFs with our team members.

It is a user-friendly application that has revolutionised the entire process of managing, editing & searching the enterprise data.
- Ease of use
- Great security features
- Functional tools for editing, merging the documents
- Best tool for PDF viewing

- Content editing is tricky

Flexible and Crucial: Microsoft Office
Document standards,collaboration, security, paperless workflows, and accessibility are all addressed by Adobe Acrobat, which is used for creating, modifying, and safely sharing PDFs. Contracts, reports, presentations,forms,file conversion, web optimization, and multimedia integration are all included in the scope.
- It provides accurate text, picture, and graphic editing capabilities inside PDFs while preserving formatting consistency.
- Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are just a few of the file formats that Adobe Acrobat effectively transforms to PDFs while maintaining style and content.
- It improves usability by converting scanned documents into editable and searchable PDFs with Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
- Although Adobe has mobile apps, they are not as feature-rich as the desktop version, especially when it comes to intricate editing chores.
- With a high learning curve for advanced functions like batch processing and complex editing, the UI might be intimidating to novice users.
- For small enterprises or individual users that don't want all the advanced services, the subscription model may be expensive.

Adobe Acrobat Power User
I use Adobe Acrobat specifically to review work documents, convert graphics into forms for distribution and creating files for approvals. The program works well with my graphic applications and, since I'm a designers, this is critical to my business. Adobe Acrobat forms the cornerstone of my work business. I have used it for years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

- Capturing stakeholder signatures
- Allowing important items to be archived
- The signature options can be a little confusing to use. The process needs to be a bit clearer or intuitive
- The ability to edit copy needs to be a Biot more refined. Right now it's a bit clumsy
- The option to add high resolution graphics to existing documents need to be better.
Adobe Acrobat has the most reliable PDF creation and document editing capability, with a friendly interface at the initial stage when getting started. Document splitting and also file merging through Adobe Acrobat are excellent, and the system provides helpful communication in real time through texting, and sharing files with team members is very simple.
- New PDF creation tools.
- Annotation options.
- File conversion ability.
- Document editing features.
- Nothing serious after training but merging multiple files can be tricky.
- Various files editing as a beginner.

Adobe Acrobat is a good PDF Editing tool for those who already have Adobe Creative Cloud
We use Adobe Acrobat as our main PDF Editor application. We use it to create, edit and especially optimize PDFs file size. As we work with projects that are very visual and a lot of times we have to share a PDF presentation of those projects to stakeholders either through e-mail or a specific platforma (that many times have file size limits), optimizing PDFs efficiently is very important for us.
- Optimizing PDFs file size
- Editing PDFs
- Creating PDFs from other Docs formats
- The User Interface can be Improved
- It would be great if the Cloud Adobe Acrobat functions were more robust
- The Optimization of the PDFs could have more user options

Acrobat checks the box
We use Acrobat in a variety of different ways in our organization. The main two uses for our team are in our marketing and sales efforts. Marketing we use it for one-pagers, case studies, whitepapers and more. For sales, it is our main source of building proposals for organizations. I would say that it is a tool that is used daily!

- Marketing pages
- Case studies
- Small files for sharing
- Simpler small changes
- Making one tiny change requires the pro version

Adobe Acrobat for the office
Our organization uses Adobe Acrobat in order to view, to edit or to create a variety of PDF documents. Some of them serve as documentation serving various purposes, while others are forms that are then automatically sent to be digitally signed. We also use Adobe Acrobat to modify existing documents based on the needs, as long as they are not locked.
- View PDF documents
- Create PDF documents
- Modify PDF documents
- Prepare PDF documents for digital signature
- Electronically sign PDF documents
- Share PDF documents
- Reliability and stability, particularly when it comes to the application's windowing (frames, sizing, etc...) and interaction with the operating system.
- 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.

Adobe Acrobat - Critical to my work
Adobe Acrobat is a standard desktop tool in our organization. I work for a company that is global and our international partners all use Adobe Acrobat because it is a reliable and consistent document application. Adobe Acrobat solves our problems with keeping documents authentic and original for our authors. We use Adobe as our source of record for all types of documents - Program management documents that range from proposals, statements of work, estimates, legal documents, and technical documents. These all need to be distributed globally. Many of these documents require digital signatures which is a key feature of Adobe Acrobat.
- Reliable and consistent document creation
- Clean, crisp, professional documents that are easily stored and distributed
- Document size and images are compact and not problematic for storage
- Versatile for all document types - Presentations, papers, images, technical and legal are some use cases
- The digital signature feature can be quirky at times depending on the type of document. An easy tutorial may help.
- Make Adobe more collaborative for multiple editors and authors
- Provide more video tutorials about the features of Adobe for the user community

Adobe Acrobat is a solid product for small law firms.
We use Acrobat to convert our draft Word documents to PDF files that can be filed with courts and sent to other parties. I signed these documents electronically using Acrobat's signature function. We also use Acrobat to review documents received from others, redact confidential information when producing documents, and search documents for relevant data.
- Converts documents to and from Microsoft Word well.
- Redacts information well.
- It provides an excellent search function for native PDFs and a decent search for converted documents.
- Being able to change the redaction style, from blocking to inserting text, could be made easier.
- Keeping the user interface consistent through updates would be welcome so you don't have to relearn the location of functions.

- Combining PDF documents
- Sign in process to use my Adobe account
- A simplified user interface

Adobe Acrobat is a solid tool for PDF's
I work in the IT department and Acrobat is the software we support and deploy to users when they need something that can manipulate PDF's by adding text or editing pages. It seems to be a common software used between most companies and it is fairly easy for users to understand and operate.
- Edit Text & Sections in PDF's
- Allow to set fields for text submissions
- Syncs to PC and or cloud
- Some of the icons are no intuitive for users who don't go into the software much
- The flow and layout of settings is odd compared to most programs
- Sometimes it is hard to select certain items when trying to edit.

There's no alternative, but it does a solid job.
I mainly use the Adobe Acrobat platform while working with contracts. Specifically, in addition to the Reader function, I edit scripting as well as attach signatures and commentary on signed counter party provided contracts that need to be edited before further processing is needed as part of the contract management process.
- Editing scanned documents.
- Pulling text from individual documents.
- AI application.
- Natural language extraction in volume.
- Contract lifecycle management.

- Merge files into PDF
- Encript PDF files

Acrobat Jumps Through Hoops
We use Acrobat on a daily basis. My job is art director. After I've designed a piece, I create a PDF to send to the marketers for review and markup. I receive the PDF back with their edits and comments. Another useful feature is the ability to make interactive PDFs with live links and fillable forms. Finally, when a job is complete and approved, we send high resolution PDFs to the printer and it's very efficient to have all fonts and imaged embedded in one file. This program is invaluable to our agency. I have always found it to work seamlessly, contributing to a smooth workflow in our company.
- high or low resolution proofs for editing or printing
- ability to create fillable forms
- ability to create digital PDFs with live links
- ability to edit text within the application
- it would be nice if images were editable in the application
- can you embed video?
- can you embed audio?

Adobe Acrobat - The industry standard
We use Adobe Acrobat to share documents that have been completed in other programs that others do not have access to or should not be able to edit. It provides a consistent and professional platform for sharing documents of all kinds via email, marketing automation programs, media management tools, and our website.
- It allows us to share and collaborate documents created in programs such as InDesign, Photoshop and others that the average person does not traditionally have acess to.
- It's an excellent way to share and e-sign agreements and other documents
- It allow us to share very large file sizes in a condensed document
- The UI is overdue for some significant more user friendly updates
- It feels like Acrobat has become bloated and sometimes runs slow on equipment that should be up to the tasks.
- If you have the free version of Acrobat on your computer it will sometimes default to that no matter what steps you take to make sure it always opens in Pro.

Helping me close transactions faster!
In the real estate and mortgage business we utilize Acrobat for nearly everything from writing letters of explanation which require signatures, to opening documents the client sends us in a pdf format. The security features which limit any editing, the search functions if I'm looking for certain items within a document, and the ability to send documents over for signature/review via my cell phone makes my job a lot quicker and easier for myself and my clients. Being able to transfer a Word document to Adobe is paramount to our business.
- Great for searching for key words in a large document without having to read the entire document
- security features allowing both edits and the inability to edit
- request for signatures are super easy
- ability to organize pages in various orders
- If an edit needs to be made, being better at identifying the text font as sometimes the font is mismatched
- Cost can be high for one user, especially if you are just using the basic functions
- Cell phone use is not as user friendly as desktop

Flip for Adobe Acrobat
I use Adobe Acrobat on a daily basis. We manage large educational books and other literature and Adobe Acrobat allows us to use "edit .pdf" without opening each and every individual file to do so. This is a real time-saver for us. When we submit art for review, several marketing specialists and/or managers will ask specifically for a .pdf file to share with their client to gather their feedback. Adobe Acrobat is easily opened by most and can also gather notes, comments. I'd have a very hard time getting my job done without access to Adobe Acrobat.
- Easily opened by most users
- Ability to "edit .pdf"
- Combine, rearrange, delete and/or add pages
- I have a hard time "scrolling" multiple pages at times
- Some comments are hidden when a .pdf file is just "opened" from a server, or webdam
- I'd love to be able to take an entire screenshot of an email for proofing!

Honest Adobe Acrobat
We use Adobe Acrobat for PDF creation, manipulation, combination, modification, and e-signatures. We have had as many as 30 seats at times but have reduced recently for other products in the AEC industry. Although Adobe Acrobat is still prevalent, I truly believe a refresh is desperately needed, especially in the areas of the Cloud and update delivery and notification.
- Create PDFs
- Combine PDFs
- Modify PDFs
- Speed
- Reliability
- Cloud delivery

Adobe Acrobat is a great little tool to have
We use it to convert PDFs to word documents mainly as there are lots of policies that get created here that need amending quite often.
We also use it to save PDF images in different file formats, and also to edit both shared and confidential documents.
It is something that we use almost daily.

Adobe Acrobat: It gets the job done
I use Acrobat Acrobat primarily to preflight client submitted PDF files for color separations, to create interactive forms, and to extract elements or pages for publication assembly. It's not a great tool for editing: the best way to edit a PDF is to make the changes in the original software that made it, be that Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop or whatever you've used to create the PDF, but for simple edits, such as changing a date, correcting a misspelled word, or deleting unwanted elements, it's sufficient. It's also valuable for setting up security when sending proofs to new clients, in order to prevent them from casually using proofs as artwork, and you can password protect features such as editing and printing resolution. Another nice feature which I find myself using a lot, is editing of scanned text; Adobe Acrobat works as good if not better in a lot of cases at converting scanned text to editable text than even some dedicated OCR software that I've used, and that can be a time saver.
- Preflighting
- OCR
- PDF Security
- Editing is rather weak
- Form field creation can be a bit tedious
- Ruler 0 point repositioning would be nice

Organizational Improvement using Adobe Acrobat
Beyond the need to read PDF files, we use Adobe Acrobat for the Sign capabilities to manage paperless workflow and security. Some have the ability to use the edit feature to open and edit existing PDF files. It has been a wonderful tool for workflow.
- Document workflow for signatures and forwarding
- Creates beautiful PDF documents
- Allows editing of existing PDF files which saves staff time
- The licensing is quite expensive limiting the number of people with access within our organization
- Sometimes it is challenging to figure out what icons to click to enable editing of an existing document
