It brings a lot of features to the table and even though it may seem a lot to use it firsthand, the interface of the software guides the user of its functions. If you're looking for a simple, straightforward PDF editor, Adobe Acrobat DC is for you. Our team's document controller uses this to streamline our workflows and processes.

Although Acrobat Pro costs $14.99 per month or $179 annually, it is incredibly feature-rich. The majority of the Pro version's functions are available in the less expensive Acrobat Standard edition, but I wouldn't want to go without the Pro version's features, such as the capability to identify discrepancies between two copies of the same PDF file.
