Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is used by every employee across verticals and functions in the organization to read and annotate PDFs, fill forms and share PDF documents. Most of the documentation across the organization primarily resides in the form of PDF documents which requires a reliable pdf reader like Adobe Acrobat Reader along with functionalities like annotation and commenting by multiple people at the same time.
  • Comes with a cloud storage so that documents can be uploaded to cloud and can be accessed from anywhere and with any device.
  • Integrates seamless to upload or open documents with other cloud storage services like OneDrive, Dropbox and Box.
  • Tab view mode is one of the best features. Allows multiple pdf documents to be opened in a single application window without crashing the application.
  • Doesn't allow to save the PDF as an image which is a requirement at a lot of sites to upload documents.
  • There is no option to sort recently opened documents by date modified or date created.
  • Basic functionalities like erasing and cropping are missing.
  • Ability to upload documents to the cloud and share the documents across and outside the organization.
  • Multiple people can access and work on the same shared copy which allows people to work in parallel and saves time.
  • Documents are compressed which means less storage requirement on cloud.
  • We still need to invest in another software for PDF document editing and creation.
  • Employees can open PDF documents on their mobile devices as well which avoids unnecessary delays in actions.
  • PDF documents can be signed from within the reader which helps avoid the cycle or printing, signing and then scanning the document back to PDF.

Did Adobe Acrobat Reader live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Acrobat Reader again?

Yes

Adobe Acrobat Reader is a great tool if you are just looking to store your documents in the least amount of space without losing any information or formatting and also to just read and highlight the text or add comments. If the requirement is to create pdf documents from scratch or edit documents, this software is of no use and you have to purchase a much pricier Pro version.
