Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

I use Adobe Acrobat daily. It has so many useful features, I'm not sure how I ever worked without it. The feature I use the most is the conversion feature which allows you to change a PDF to another type of document. As an example: pdf to Word, pdf to PowerPoint. You are even able to take a scan of a document and Adobe Acrobat will convert it to a Word document with editable text. I believe the OCR capabilities have recently been enhanced with the help of AI because the last document I scanned was almost perfect. Our company also uses Adobe Acrobat to send forms for signatures including a detailed signature confirmation along with where the document was signed. The third feature I use frequently is the ability to create your own fillable forms.
  • Document Conversion
  • PDF Creation
  • Secure E-Signatures
  • Fillable forms
  • The cost - It is not cost friendly for everyone
  • User-friendly - It has improved dramatically, but I still find things that are really not very intuitive
  • Secure Signing of documents and forms
  • Conversion of different types of documents
  • Creation of forms
  • Other
We originally went with the Creative Cloud Suite for our content creation and graphics, it was after that, that we started using Adobe Acrobat and realized how much of an asset it is. We tend to use it more than any of the other applications now and will continue to use it going forward.
  • Hundreds of hours saved being able to send documents digitally for signature rather than having to meet in person.
  • Creation of our own graphics has allowed us to stop purchasing commercial use graphics, which saves us approximately $1,000 per year.
Adobe Acrobat provides secure document signing which is a must in our business. It allows us to send secure information digitally and gives our clients a sense of security knowing we use a program that is recognized worldwide by name alone. It also provides tracking information which makes our partners feel secure that their information is kept safe.

I create fillable forms from documents we normally have clients fill out, which allows them to complete them online rather than printing, filling in and sending back. It is more convenient and saves time.
