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.

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.
Adobe Acrobat DC is well-suited to almost any business or individual who needs a full-featured PDF creator/editor, as PDF files are widely used by just about everyone today. It can be used for many purposes, but it's most valuable feature is the ability to create and edit PDF files. If this capability is not needed, then this software would not really be needed.
  • 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.

2 of the 5 staff members in our small business are expert at using Adobe Acrobat, and they support the others.
  • Filling out forms
  • Editing client PDF documents
  • Updating existing files / documents
  • to prepare documents for use in video editing
  • for simple graphics work
  • for documents used in photoshop work
  • to work collaboratively on documents
This is a very valuable software tool, used in just about all aspects of our work.
Yes
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.
  • Implemented in-house

Answered basic questions.
Yes, this product can be learned without formal training, but training does help.
Acrobat is so widely used that you can find support on-line and in user groups. Adobe also provides some support.
We did not purchase premium support for Adobe Acrobat. We did not feel that we needed it.
No
This has not happened with us with this product.
  • Editing text
  • Combining files
  • Correcting documents
  • Editing text in a small font
  • Editing text that is very close together
Yes
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.
It's easy to use Adobe Acrobat DC across all our devices and operating systems. As a video production and photography company, we use both Mac and Windows computers, as well as iPhones and android phones, and this software helps us work on all of these devices / systems. Without cross platform /device compatibility, we would find this software much less useful.

It has been very useful to convert pdf into workable word documents for editing, many of our clients would ask us to work on a document they had created but would not send it editable. Using Adobe Acrobat DC, saved us so much time from having to re-create a whole new document
  • converting to editable word documents
  • able to provide documents to be used online with reduced file sizes
  • creating forms
  • adding comments to documents
  • adding signatures
  • OCR capabilities
  • resizing of images and aligning them with other objects
  • to link documents to data capture automatically to datasets
Well suited to manage already created documents, for creating new documents such as flyers or surveys seems very clunky. Would really like to see how data could be extracted if used say for a survey or contact details being captured. To edit a document in other applications like Word is great as we don't have to re-create the documents
  • Editing docs
  • signatures
  • reducing larger docs to work online
  • Time, allowing us to not re-create word docs for our clients
  • Secures data from being copied when presented in Pdf
  • using a pdf format means sometimes we can add to flipbooks to look impressive online
There are some parts that we don't use, they do not always give clear tutorials on how to do or some other benefits to using them.
having a document that can be read over many devices is essential in today's world where so many use mobile smartphones to work from even if they are working from home or office.
The signature and data are great, its built-in to feel seamless and gives a feeling of security without having to jump through a lot of hoops to make it work
Have used different products because they all had something that would do some of the tasks of DC, few of them offer the robustness or even the amount of solid features that are so readily available on DC
