Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

Used to edit business documents upon demand when in PDF format. Also use for exporting PDF documents to other formats when required. I use Acrobat on at least a daily basis for this. Acrobat is also used to edit scanned documents when the individual text in the scan needs to be identified.
  • Recognising text in scanned documents
  • Handling images in scanned documents
  • Exporting to other formats
  • When deleting elements of the document it could be easier to reposition other elements.
  • Compression could be a bit better although it is pretty good.
  • Text recognition and editing
  • Compression
  • Export.
  • Ease of Use
As a small business we did not want to have to spend extra on training or have a long learning period by staff who may not be IT staff. As a result we needed intuitive software that could be quickly picked up with minimum fuss. Acrobat fitted that purpose very well.
  • Has allowed us to remove a lengthy correction process by giving us a clean and accurate method to edit PDF
  • Easy highlighting on invoices straight from our ERP system has been a direct benefit, thanks to ease of use it can be done by sales staff.
  • Digital signing has directly reduced costs
Adobe's emphasis on security gives us confidence when using the product that we can do so safely. Data breaches are a huge concern for any business and Adobe's practices are important to us as a result.
  • Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) and Soda PDF
I found Adobe to be richer in features than Foxit or Soda, more intuitive to learn and more reliable when in use. Both alternatives were more prone to crashes or had needed features missing, which is how i made my decision to go with Adobe
