Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat DC

The majority of our organization uses Adobe Acrobat DC for the typical document management tools- PDF creation and editing, signatures for remote employees, etc. However, we also have a much more specialized use: to comply with federally mandated ADA standards, we use Adobe Acrobat DC to remediate documents that will be distributed by federal agency clients. Using Acrobat's built-in tools, allows documents to be correctly read by screen readers.
  • PDF editing
  • Metadata management
  • It is the only software with such comprehensive accessibility features
  • No documentation on using accessibility features
  • Accessibility features are very sensitive and difficult to use
  • Built-in checkers do not always provide accurate results
  • Signature management
  • Convert to/from Word document
  • Accessibility (tags, reading order, etc.)
  • Allowed seamless transition to remote work
  • Teams can coordinate documents between members easily
  • Ability to accept clients in the government sector
The basic features Adobe Acrobat DC offers are relatively easy to use. The biggest obstacle is not functioning so much as a lack of awareness of all that Adobe Acrobat DC can do; features are often hidden behind several clicks. However, its suite of accessibility features is a different story. While these can be functional, they are not intuitive and require a very precise order of operations to execute them correctly. It is very easy for beginners to mess them up.
Adobe Acrobat DC has such a positive reputation that we have not had any security concerns when using Adobe Acrobat DC for a variety of sensitive materials in the corporate or government sphere. They are the preferred software for file management and editing for our IT and legal teams, more so than any other suite available.

If accessibility for disabled users is a concern, Adobe Acrobat DC is the unrivaled industry leader. We have used it to ensure that thousands of documents can be easily used by those with vision impairments, and it does the job well. However, these niche features are not as well-supported as those more typically used, so the learning curve is steep.
