Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat

On our website, we host a number of PDFs (menus, instructions, rules etc) and found many of them to not be ADA accessible, WCAG compliant etc. Utilizing Adobe Acrobat's accessibility checker, we have cut down on these issues considerably, creating an online culture of accessibility.

Pros

  • Accessibility
  • Editing of PDFs
  • E-signature
  • Secuirty Features

Cons

  • Pricing is high
  • Can be slow at times
  • Splitting Pages can be cumbersome
  • Helped our website become WCAG compliant
  • E-signature cutdown on approval times/processes
  • Improved process for restaurant menu updates with edit PDF functionality
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Being a part of the Adobe bundle is a huge consideration in purchasing and using. The Accessibility functionality was huge for us as we preach a culture of inclusion for all of our digital guests. What I value most is the accessibility checker. It's always important to me to ensure that any PDF hosted online is compliant.
Adobe Acrobat provides a comprehensive security framework that protects PDF content, user data, and system integrity through encryption, access controls, protected modes, digital signatures, and cloud‑based safeguards. It enables us to encrypt files, apply password protection, use electronic and certificate‑based signatures, and leverage Adobe Document Cloud for additional cloud security and encryption.
For Foxit, the OCR feature enabled me to edit the text within them. However, the accuracy was not always reliable. Personally, I found Adobe Acrobat to be more effective for this purpose, but that's just my preference. For PDF Fusion, did not like support/help/instructions and it was windows based only (at least at the time).

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Adobe Acrobat go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat again?

Yes

If I had a nickel for every PDF I've had to edit over the years, I'd be a very wealthy man. I really appreciate being able to organize pages, combine PDFs, update text, use forms and e-signatures, and take advantage of some of the security tools. However, what I value most is the accessibility checker. It's always important to me to ensure that any PDF hosted online is compliant.

Using Adobe Acrobat

50 - We have a large marketing department that works as shared services to support multiple properties and their initiatives in our portfolio. This includes digital marketing experts, social media specialists, Graphic Designers, Creative services and more. It is also used by our clients - as a chef can quickly update a menu in a pinch if needed.
5 - We have an assigned IT team to make sure we have access to the necessary programs to complete our tasks. They are able to approve license purchases and attach to business accounts and create log ins for each user. If the concern is functionality, we consult Adobe with questions or any available online resources.

Adobe Acrobat has become one of those tools I genuinely rely on. It makes working with PDFs simple, secure, and surprisingly stress‑free. I love how easy it is to edit, sign, and share documents, and the built‑in security features give me real peace of mind. With its smooth cloud integration and organized workflows, Adobe Acrobat helps me stay efficient and feel confident in everything I send out.

Evaluating Adobe Acrobat and Competitors

Yes - Replaced Foxit PDF Editor - mostly because Adobe Acrobat is a part of our adobe bundle for synergy, but in terms of functionality, I found I had many older documents that I had scanned, and the OCR feature enabled me to edit the text within them. However, the accuracy was not always reliable. Personally, I found Adobe Acrobat to be more effective for this purpose, but that's just my preference.
We host a lot of PDFs on our website and having the ability to quickly edit them was very helpful, as opposed to re-creating the Word Document, updating and then re-converting to PDF. Adobe Acrobat just cleaned up our process, saved time on workflow and made our pages accessibile. Would stay with Adobe!

Adobe Acrobat Implementation

I implemented Adobe Acrobat by setting up my account, activating licenses, and installing it across my devices. Once everything was in place, I learned the core tools for editing, signing, and securing documents. After a bit of training and configuration, Adobe Acrobat quickly became part of my everyday workflow and has been since.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Account/Licensing Confusion
  • Security/Permissions
  • Cloud Sync

Adobe Acrobat Support

Adobe Acrobat’s support team is genuinely helpful and easy to work with. Whenever I’ve needed guidance, they’ve been quick to respond and clear in their explanations. It feels like they actually care about getting you back on track. Their mix of friendliness and expertise makes the whole experience smooth and reassuring.
ProsCons
Quick Resolution
Knowledgeable team
Kept well informed
Support cares about my success
Poor followup
Problems left unsolved
Escalation required
Need to explain problems multiple times
Slow Initial Response
I’m not very familiar with Adobe’s premium support, so I can’t speak to its full value. Most of my experience has been with their standard help channels, which have worked well for my needs. Premium support may offer more, but I haven’t used it enough to judge its benefits firsthand.
I once needed Adobe Acrobat support when a fillable form refused to save any of the information I typed in. After a few failed attempts on my own, I reached out to their support team. They quickly walked me through checking the form’s permissions and saving it in a compatible format. Their clear guidance solved the issue fast and made the whole process surprisingly easy.

I’d rate Adobe Acrobat’s usability a nine out of ten because it strikes a great balance between power and simplicity. Most everyday tasks—editing, signing, organizing, and sharing PDFs—feel intuitive and smooth. Even its more advanced tools are easy to learn with a little guidance, making it a dependable, user‑friendly choice
