Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat DC

I use Adobe Acrobat DC for multiple projects and tasks in my business. I create, edit and customize fillable worksheets, workbooks, and resources for my clients. I also create checklists and planning pages using Adobe Acrobat DC. All of my client documents, forms, contracts, invoices, and documents are created or edited or made into fillable documents and completed with Adobe Acrobat DC. It is in my top 3 most used apps/programs for my business. There are many other PDF editors and programs out there but Adobe is the gold standard.
  • User Friendly
  • Multiple Options to Customize Your Document
  • Creating Fillable Fields and Forms
  • Tools to Edit the Document
  • More features for editing text, images and customizing your document
  • More design features / capabilities
  • n/a
  • fillable form fields
  • being able to lock a document so it can't be edited
  • ease of use to create, edit and complete
  • ability to create professional looking documents
  • improved security, ability to protect my intellectual property
  • saves me time vs using other programs
  • ability to make my documents look more professional which results in a better reputation for my products and services
While Adobe Acrobat DC does offer many features and capabilities and is mostly user-friendly, I believe they could improve the user experience by updating the menus, making it easier to find or save tools you use repeatedly. The editor could also be improved so you can create more custom designs and do more editing in the document without having to use a 2nd program (like Photoshop or Canva) to truly customize the look of the document you are creating.
It is always important to feel like you can trust whatever company or program you are using in your business or personal life. I appreciate that Adobe makes this a priority and has the security and login features that they do for their users. I really don't worry about any of these issues when I use Adobe or am signed into the Adobe Cloud.
There's really no comparison or true competition. I have used other PDF editors, readers, and programs and while many of them work and offer a lot of features, none of them offer or have all the tools and capabilities, and consistency in working and completing all the tasks I need to complete when I am creating, editing or completing a PDF. Adobe Acrobat DC is the gold standard for PDFs.

I think anyone who needs to create or edit or customize any PDF documents whether they are client documents, for educational purposes, creating PDFs to sell digitally, creating fillable forms and documents, or needing e-signatures would benefit from using Adobe Acrobat DC. For students, teachers, online business owners, brick and mortar business owners, Adobe Acrobat DC is the best option out for PDFs.
