Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat DC

We use Acrobat to pull content from scanned PDFs sent to us by our clients. We use this content to update the websites. Oftentimes, the PDF scans that are sent to us are a bit crooked, so we rely on the software to pull those words correctly and give us the opportunity to reformat the text and copy them to the website pages.
  • Pulling text
  • Ease of creating fillable forms
  • Electronic signature
  • Difficulty finding how to do specific tasks
  • Software takes some time to load
  • Could be a bit more intuitive
  • Pulling text from a document for editing
  • Creating and editing fillable forms
  • E signature features
  • Fewer transcription errors
  • Added value for our clients
  • Quicker turnaround times
Seems easy to use on any OS, laptop or desktop. We currently don't use Acrobat DC on a mobile device, but I think there is a different app for mobile. I believe any document created on Mac is editable on PC and visa-versa. To sum up, Adobe Acrobat DC works well for all members of our office.
The fact that you can make a document read-only, or add a security/password feature seems quite necessary in today's world. I am not aware of any security breaches via Adobe and expect they are doing an adequate job in this area.
Within Google Drive, you can use Google Docs to transcribe scanned in PDFs from clients. This actually works pretty well also, and the big advantage here is that it's already in the cloud and accessible from any place (Adobe may have this option too, and I am not totally aware of it.) Acrobat has many more features than Google though, and if you are wanting to edit / update / add fillable areas to a document, I don't believe that Google Drive / Docs can do that. Acrobat is a more robust program.

Acrobat is also great for creating online versions of forms for clients. Many clients still have a manual registration form and we have taken those a number of times and added fillable components and the e-sign box. A customer then only needs to fill out the online form, print it, and take it to the office. These types of forms include garage sale permits, applications for employment, and personal history forms.
