Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat DC

I use Adobe Acrobat DC mostly to modify pdf documents for my classes, such as tests and student assignments. Sometimes I use it to create or alter documents for internal teacher use, such as forms, lists, and cheat sheets. It's a pretty handy tool for working with pdfs. My school district has a business account with Adobe and we use their tools pretty widely.
  • Creating signable forms
  • Exporting pdfs to other file formats
  • Editing existing pdfs
  • Making scanned text easier to edit.
  • It should be possible to edit protected documents. Sometimes a document owner leaves the organization.
  • Turning web pages into pdfs.
  • Being able to edit documents.
  • Creating fillable forms.
  • Creating signable pdf documents.
  • Creating fliers.
  • Having to use less paper by making forms digital.
  • Saved time through ease of use.
  • Accessibility to all people in organization makes expenditure worthwhile.
I know that Adobe Acrobat DC can be used effectively across a range of devices, however, we almost exclusively use it on laptop and desktop computers. Still, it is good to know that it can be used on other devices if the need arises (and once in a while it has).
Adobe's security standards satisfy the security and privacy standards of our organization, and we don't ever feel like our data is at risk either when using Acrobat on our work devices or when using Adobe's online services. We are satisfied that Adobe is a reputable company with adequate security procedures.
  • Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom)
I've used Foxit PDF Editor in the past on my personal computer, for non-work projects. I found that Acrobat has a lot more features, runs more smoothly, and has better support. One benefit that Foxit did have over Acrobat is that it is more affordable, as Adobe's products can be costly if your job isn't paying for them.

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat again?

Adobe Acrobat DC is great for creating fillable forms for other people to use fill out and turn in. It saves on having to print and scan actual documents. It is not the right application for creating sophisticated graphics or presentations. However, you can turn either of those into pdf files for easy distribution and viewing.
