Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat
Creation, editing, and publishing of PDF-format documents. Useful to create semi-permanent documents that are in a clean and easily portable format that just about anyone can consume. Additionally, these tools are used for documents that are contracts, as they can be put into DocuSign or Adobe Sign and made secure from editing once signed.
Pros
- Creating easily portable files.
- Combings multiple files together into a single larger file.
- Securing signed files.
- Editing PDFS others have created.
Cons
- Edit features are somewhat complicated to use.
- Account and licensing can be a little expensive.
- Creating a secure document has enabled us to publish sensitive information that is difficult for the audience to manipulate.
- We often need to extract data from PDFs created by others. Acrobat is the most effective way to do this.
- Other
Really, just the ability to edit PDF files was the single most important thing. It's something my staff needs to do frequently enough that using other products wouldn't make sense.
None really. Adobe updates frequently, and we have the updates set automatically - so the impact on security has been minimal. The only real use of the security features has been how a 'signed' document becomes essentially immutable and cannot be changed. So we can provide legally recognized paperwork.
Acrobat has a much larger feature set - the main difference is the price.
