  • We don't waste time trying to figure out how to make small changes to PDFs. Previously, we would export back and forth from PDF to Word and vice versa. Now, we just edit the PDF directly in Acrobat.
  • Previously, there were some in our organization that were using free online tools to combine PDFs. Oftentimes, these tools were slow, ineffective, and forcing employees to download software. Now we all use Acrobat and we don't have any of those issues.
  • Collecting a signature on a PDF used to be a hassle but with Adobe we can easily send out a document for someone to sign. This has sped up how we move forward on decisions, projects, etc.
