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.

Adobe Acrobat- It fits, it works and it makes things easier.
I use it as part of the publication process for certain documents. I also use it to edit existing documents. I also use it to share design projects at different stages. I am able to share a lot of content while not always having a large single file making deliver much easer in most cases.
- Creates documents that good for sharing that limit editing options.
- Creates documents that are good for getting signature /approvals.
- Creating formats that can be shared in a range of applications.
- I don't really have any big issues. Any problems tend to be project-specific and fixable.
- Every software package could be improved in some way I guess but I have gotten used to working with it so I'm happy.
- It works well with a wide range of projects.
- It works well with a wide range of other software packages.
- Cloud Solutions
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
While it is part of my Adobe subscription I also do use it when connected to word publishing software as well as photo work. It is also an easy way to create print projects that are small to medium in size that can be printed either by a person or a printing company.
- its been positive as it has provided a way for me to produce small projects for publications.
It is good to know they produce products that don't add extra risk to my workflow. I have not had any problems with compliance requirements but it does give me the opportunity to send documents to someone and let them add a signature or other possible editing and then receive it back with no problems.
For now, I use Adobe CC so it's part of that package for me. I have not really had any reason to look at other platforms all that much. I know that Microsoft Office has its own version of a PDF publisher that seems to work very similarly to Adobe. Other than these I am not really aware of the others.

We use PDF files to archive many types of files. We often need to edit and modify PDF documents, and also combine various files into a single document. We also need to make PDF files from different types of documents and files. Adobe Acrobat DC lets us do accomplish all these tasks.
- Creating PDF files
- Modifying PDF files
- Combining multiple files into one PDF document
- Filling in forms
- It could be easier to combine files into a single PDF document
- Sometimes it's hard to include a needed font
- It would be great to have better control of the file size of edited files
- Sometimes it's hard to navigate to exactly the right spot in a document.
- Creativity
- Versatility
- Flexibility
- Ability to edit documents as needed
- Scalability
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
The single most important feature for us is the ability to quickly and easily make and edit PDF documents.
- Helped us make files / documents available to clients
- Helped us edit PDF files, which is very much needed
- Helped us more efficiently archive key documents
We know that Adobe builds robust security features into its products. We often use the feature allowing us to encrypt a PDF file before e-mailing it to a client. This is important because clients ask us to ensure the security of their information. We have not faced any security problems while using Adobe Acrobat DC.
We think that Acrobat is the best choice for creating and modifying PDF files.

We had used a couple of limited-features PDF creation / editing software, but neither of them could do everything that Acrobat can.
I think that is we were starting anew, we would still end up buying Acrobat, because of its robust feature set, although we might also look at some other software.

Using Acrobat on a mobile device is not as easy as using it on a computer. While the app scales to screen size, it is hard to edit complex documents on a mobile phone, Of course, this is true with other apps too. It's best nnot to try to do too much with Acrobat on a phone.

Acrobat DC Review
Adobe Acrobat DC is a standard app used for both Mac and PC's at our institute. We roll this out to every user for easy PDF viewing capabilities.
- Works excellent for viewing PDF and PDF-type files
- Easy installation
- Works well with many PDF type files
- This is strictly for reading
- Would like to see more editing options, such as the ability to digitally sign a PDF. We have to purchase Acrobat Pro to perform this function
- Would like to see fewer updates which tend to break custom printer settings
- Acrobat DC allows us to add a PDF client on a system without giving all users Acrobat Pro. Huge cost savings here.
- Employee efficiency is much better since it is easy to set the program as the default PDF viewer.
- Integrates well with various mail clients.
If you just need to view documents Acroabat DC is the product to purchase. However, if you need to edit or revise documents you'll need to purchase Acrobat Pro.

Basic understanding of Adobe Acrobat is required to support both the people and the product. Understanding how pdf's work is also a required skillset for our technicians which makes it easier to train users on the product.
- Reviewing Documents
- Exporting to different formats such as Microsoft Word
- Is the best universal pdf reader on the market
- When set as the default pdf reader we can utilize it to view our Oracle Reports
- Unsure at this time, but the product integrates well with our ever-changing environment.
