Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

I use Adobe Acrobat primarily for sharing/editing documents. Normally I receive things first in Word format and then after proofreading we will convert to PDF and use adobe for further editing if needed. Adobe Acrobat is excellent for editing and very intuitive to use. I find the tools easy to identify and work with, both in the desktop and mobile version.
  • Displaying two documents side by side at once.
  • Editing, inserting new lines.
  • Signing documents.
  • I think it should be available as a one time purchase, not a subsciption.
  • Document loading can be a bit slow and laggy.
  • It is a little difficult to adjust column/row formatting.
  • The ease of displaying and reviewing a document.
  • Being able to selectively edit.
  • Being able to sign a document.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
Adobe Acrobat is synonymous with the PDF format. I don't like the subscription model, but I keep Adobe Acrobat because I know from past experience that it always works well in opening and editing a PDF. The PDF format is too important to my workflow I have to keep a reliable editing software. Adobe Acrobat is very good at what it does, and I also don't know of any alternatives.
  • It is always reliable.
  • The PDF template I use in Adobe Acrobat makes automatic calculations and does help me to reduce errors.
  • I never worry about corrupted files in Adobe Acrobat.
I have never had any security breaches or issues due to Adobe Acrobat. The software is always stable and I have never lost work due to corrupted files or other security issues.

Did Adobe Acrobat live up to sales and marketing promises?

Did implementation of Adobe Acrobat go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat again?

Yes

It is excellent for a work environment where everyone has the same software and they can easily share and colaborate on a document, and you know everyone will be able to open and use the item. It is more difficult if not everyone has access to Adobe products and/or the ability to use a subscription service. If that's the case, I might be more inclined to use a free option (like google Docs) because you know it is universally available. Adobe Acrobat as a product though, is excellent at what it does.
