Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

I mainly use Adobe Acrobat to review and fix tagged PDF's created out of a customised merging flow scripted in InDesign. It helps me quickly find the issue using its various tools and develop solutions for it. The tools are intuitive to use and help the overall process. I also use it often for document reviews using comments, highlights etc. Document summary feature also helps with long documents.

Pros

  • Accessibility tag review
  • Annotations, comment, doc review flow
  • PDF viewer
  • Document Signing

Cons

  • Performance can be improved
  • AI feature should be integrated in a manner that does not create disruptions
  • Updates many a times just don't happen. It could be streamlined better
  • We are able to use Adobe Acrobat to streamline of document review cycle. This has reduced the cases of missed reviews or chasing the team members
  • With Adobe Acrobat we are able to properly review the accessibility tags of a document and make the necessary remediations to make it compliant to screen readers our client use
  • We edit a PDF's in various workflows using code. At last we use Adobe Acrobat to check the correctness of the produced PDF to make sure that the output would render correctly. This is standard we assess our output against.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Ease of Use
The biggest factor is that Adobe Acrobat provides the full implementation of PDF standard. Other apps generally implement a subset of the standard. If you want your PDF's to be perfect so that they can be handled by any software properly it has to be made in such a way that Adobe Acrobat opens and displays it correctly. So however much we use any other software, in the end it is Adobe Acrobat to give a final go ahead
It is good the know that we are in secure environment when using Adobe Acrobat. We don't specifically take any extra efforts on our parts on the security aspects but rely on Adobe to provide us with the best possible solution for a workflow. With things like document signing we feel confident that the process is well secured and compliant
Bottomline is Adobe Acrobat is the standard and full implementation of all that PDF should have. I tried different apps for different reasons to like Apple Preview for quickly viewing the document. However, for final assessment I always prefer to use Acrobat and check if all things are rendering as they should

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Adobe Acrobat go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat again?

Yes

For doing specific tasks like editing the PDF, viewing/adding/editing accessibility tags, document signing, viewing a complex PDF I trust Adobe Acrobat to provide me the best compliant way to do the task. Generally it is suited for all the use cases. But for quickly looking at a PDF I generally prefer to use the browser or Preview app on the MAC as these are faster. If Adobe Acrobat makes the launch and performance of the app faster then there is no reason to use any other app
