Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

We use Adobe Acrobat for a multitude of purposes. Low Res proofs/visuals for approval for client departments. Press-ready artwork with crop marks/bleed for printers to produce our flyers/brochures/business cards etc. We produce jpg files from Acrobat files for posting on social media channels. We also post PDFs on our websites/apps and other platforms as required. Acrobat allows a quick turnaround from the initial brief to the final artwork via the other software from the Adobe Creative Suite that we use to design our various projects. It is invaluable for editing as client departments will make notes on proofs and send them back for updates on their projects, it makes the workflow quick and easy. We use the product every single day on virtually everything we do and could not get by without it.
  • Hi-Res Print ready artwork
  • Low-Res files for editing purposes
  • Enables jpg files to be made for posting to social media etc.
  • Easy to upload to websites/apps
  • I'd like to see compression improved when saving low-res files. Files are sometimes still to large to email to clients.
  • Editing of files could be improved if Acrobat imported missing fonts.
  • Make PDFs fully transferable to other Adobe products so fonts are outlined in certain ones.
  • Editing tools for clients to tell the creative team what they want changed.
  • The ability to create jpg files for posting, bypassing the need for using Photoshop.
  • The creation of press ready artwork is essential.
  • Editable forms.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Ease of use, simply because it is software that is so easy to pick up and start using with a minimum of training, especially if you just want to use the basic features. Our client departments needed minimal instruction before they got to grips with using it for the editing of proofs/concepts.
  • It has sped up the production turnaround time on all projects hence saving us time/money on all projects.
  • It has streamlined work practices.
  • Works across all platforms seamlessly, Windows or Mac makes no difference, so all users are included.
We feel the S&C standards have given us the necessary protection for our online files, the great thing it is all done in the background and isn't an added task we have to take care of. This again improves our efficiency whilst giving us complete trust and peace of mind.

Yes

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat again?

Acrobat is well-suited to the world of publishing and artwork creation, it is also extremely useful for online/email fillable forms, especially complicated forms with radio buttons and multiple word boxes etc. It is a useful tool but not one that I would create something in from scratch, it is always something I would output to instead.
