Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

Acrobat is literally the industry standard for communication between designers and clients. Its a multi-use software that can produce universal print files, viewable files for client review, compatible web documents. We use this software DAILY for a myriad of reasons. I don't think most people know all the capabilities. We use it instead of Powerpoint to create more dynamic presentations as well as files that the client can edit themselves when needed. I don't know of many files that are so universally accepted and exchanged across all professions.
  • Low Res Presentation files for client review
  • Universal documents for web viewing
  • Easy print file document set up--accepted by almost all print vendors
  • It's not as user friendly in editing capabilities as we would like
  • Not user intuitive for the average user, outside designers. We spend a good deal of time explaining things to clients
  • Better Files Size capabilities. Sometimes difficult to get a good dpi to bitmapping ratio for web use. Those settings could be better
  • Print file Preparation
  • Design review/Client presentation
  • Universal file recognition
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Aside from limited competition, we need a seamless workhorse that can make it easy to communicate and exchange files between designers, print vendors, and clients
  • Again, operations without it would be quite difficult. Acrobat gives us the ability to present designs to clients digitally as opposed to clunky presentation programs, creating jpegs, paying for presentation interfaces. It's just been a part of our Adobe repertoire for years. Settings/features that allow for approvals, passwords, edit notations...just really invaluable and very ingrained on our work flow.
  • I think Acrobat development/improvements may sometimes take a back seat to other Adobe counterparts but things are improving with acrobat.
  • Valuable in its ability to support 508 compliance
I guess the fact that I don't really need to think about it is a positive nod to our trust in Adobe security features. It would be naive to think that NO company or software is impenetrable from a hacker who is determined enough, but I've ben doing this over 25 years and have had no security issues.
It doesn't stack up AGAINST...it compliments. It's a worthy peer and integral extension of all the other software we use.

Do you think Adobe Acrobat delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Adobe Acrobat's feature set?

Yes

Did Adobe Acrobat live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Adobe Acrobat go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat again?

Yes

We really couldn't live without it...but I suppose that's the reason for not giving it a 10. You either need to get on board with it or struggle no matter what your business. I can appreciate the ease of use with regards to preparing no-brainer print files for less sophisticated vendors.
