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.

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.

Acrobat serves as the primary document publication platform, providing both internal and external paperwork with the appropriate outlet. It is the finalized version for turning any communications into the end product and serves as the primary option in our company document library for downloading and uploading. We use it for almost every publishable document.

We use Adobe Acrobat daily to create, sign, and edit PDFs. These are our most common use cases, but we also use it quite frequently to send PDFs for comment as well. There is also a high likelihood that if we need a form created for our organization we will use Adobe Acrobat to create the form. Our organization uses PDFs so commonly that Adobe Acrobat is everyone's default PDF opener, reader, and editor.

We use Acrobat to send Illustrator artwork for review. It's easy to mark up with comments. We also occasionally use the signing feature of Acrobat as well to sign off on the artwork. I love that it's easy to export from Illustrator and the features are pretty easy to use as well.

Adobe Acrobat is my first choice for working with PDF files. I can read and modify PDF files with ease. It is very good at converting PDFs to Word or Excel documents, as well as combining or splitting PDFs. It is widely used throughout the company addressing the challenge of efficient and versatile document management.

Highly effective content creation and easy platform on documentation and data management capability is amazing. The creativity offered by this Adobe Acrobat tool is quite productive and very easy to generate reports and share files with various projects team members. Forms management and publication functionalities and easy data analytics creation using the platform is more reliable.

Adobe Acrobat is a key tool for our division as we deliver virtual trainings across the company and with external partners. We rely on Acrobat's robust PDF creation process to digitize materials from legacy projects, and to create guides for not only our staff who train but also the participants in the courses. Besides this use case, we utilize Adobe Acrobat as the primary reader for PDF documents across the company, and it helps to have a powerful tool that can have multiple documents open at once and also allow for collaborative note taking and productivity.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I use Adobe Acrobat for various purposes in my daily work. First of all opening some technical documents from suppliers, scientific papers. Besides, these I am using it for filling and signing some forms related to my daily work routine. Also, the function of combining various PDF files and editing existing PDF files, for instance, removing some pages, is quite handy.

In our organization, we extensively utilize Adobe Acrobat as a multifaceted solution for managing and adjusting PDF documents. The scope of our use case encompasses various departments, including finance, legal, human resources, and marketing. One primary function of Adobe Acrobat within our organization is its robust PDF creation and editing capabilities. We frequently generate professional-looking documents by converting various file formats into PDFs, ensuring consistency and compatibility across different platforms. This feature is particularly beneficial for creating reports, proposals, and official documents that require a polished and standardized appearance.

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.

We use Acrobat on a daily basis to convert files to PDF, combine files, and for e-signing. This allows us to OCR files and provide our clients with complete discovery packages. PDF is the standard within the legal services industry, and Acrobat provides all the tools we need, including redactions and Bates numbering.

We use it extensively for creating and editing all PDF documents, especially with e-signatures and formal documents. It also helps when we need to extract images from a received PDF, as well as combine multiple files into one document. The speed and ease of use have greatly increased turnaround and productivity over time. Asbjas is sharing documents for review and notes with customers.

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.

Adobe Acrobat is an essential part of my business. From receiving to preparing documents, there is no limit to what my company uses Adobe Acrobat. The most important aspect of this program is organizing important documents and sharing them with coworkers and clients. I have not yet run into an issue with Adobe that didn't work itself out right away.

The feature I use most in Adobe Acrobat is 'organize pages, ' which allows me to move the documents around and add/remove them as well. I work with a lot of real estate agents, and one of the items I need to provide their office is the final communication. So, I would need to print all the emails related to that transaction and put them into one PDF file. So, organizing files is one feature I absolutely love. Secondly, I like that I have the ability to edit and add text.
