Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

We utilize Adobe Acrobat to create custom forms for our clients, or to turn non-fillable PDFs into fillable PDFs. Our office currently has three licenses for our team members. Adobe is necessary in our world, and we utilize it daily.

Pros

  • Auto-detecting fillable fields
  • Converting word or excel documents into PDFs
  • Creating a password-protected document

Cons

  • I find the updated interface less functional than the prior version
  • I miss being able to make a one-time purchase of Adobe rather than a monthly subscription
  • Adobe needs to add a broader world of text, or the ability to convert all text in a document to a different type without selecting individual boxes
  • Preparing/Editing a Form
  • Securing a PDF
  • Removing/separating pages into individual documents
  • Other
Given the number of PDFs we need to work with and/or manipulate, purchasing Adobe Acrobat was simply a necessity.
  • Increased operational efficiency
  • Increased productivity
  • Ultimately, I believe the product more or less breaks even from an economic standpoint as it pays for itself based on the increased efficiency and productivity, however it makes my staff much happier not needing to print and hand write on non-fillable PDFs so it is a win from a team satisfaction standpoint.
We have had no direct issues with Adobe from a breach or compliance issue, and thus we appreciate their dedication in this area. We do enjoy being able to create secure PDF files, which allows us to feel more confident in sending certain documents containing personally identifiable information.

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

Adobe Acrobat is well suited for daily office use if you often need to manipulate PDF documents.If you are comfortable just using the PDFs you encounter on an as-is basis, than Adobe reader works just fine.

I would also try to minimize the licenses needed, as the expense adds up with the more recent subscription based service.
