It absolutely love using Adobe Acrobat DC. It makes my job a lot easier and boosts my productivity.

Pros

Editing your PDF file becomes much easier with Adobe Acrobat DC. Exporting files and changing formats are hassle-free with adobe. Sending Electronic Signature has also been simplified exponentially with Adobe Acrobat DC. It connects with adobe creative cloud service where we can purchase its license and unlock all the features but can also be used for free with the basic features.

Cons

Sometimes the scanner doesn't recognize the texts or misinterprets it. And the premium pricing is a problem for people with weaker financial status.

You get what you pay for, and what you get works fine. But most of the software's capability is only available if you pay for premium access.

Pros

Adobe Reader DC is ubiquitous, so it is always a program I use by default, even though I have PDF software I like better and use just as often. I keep it as default PDF software because there are certain websites I use often with interactive forms that do not support BlueBeam. Adobe is generic and for general access to PDFs it works well with little problem. If I want to manipulate the PDFs I flip to another software

Cons

Adobe DC is free, so of course the value for the money is commensurate with what I pay for it. But most of the features I want to use are only available in the cloud or behind the premum package paywall. The interface is set up to push you to use these added features, but without buying the professional package, they are useless to me, and I switch over to Bluebeam to do any serious manipulation of PDF material.

I have found it to be a valuable tool for my office, since I can turn my word documents into fillable forms. Over the years, I have found that it is easier to make a form with this program. I made checklist forms for those who worked with me that they could fill out on the field and hit a submit button to email the form to me. I have also found that when I have to fill out someone elses form, I can type in the information and it is much easier to read than my own handwriting and doesn't take that much time to make it look very professional.

Pros

I liked the ability to make my own forms with the fields that are important to me and my business. I liked being able to fill out forms sent to me in PDF format, from my computer. I liked that I could also apply an accepted digital signature to documents that require it.

Cons

Sometimes it was hard to do the calculations. You had to know something about JavaScript. I still used it, but I worked around this.

The overall experience has been top notch. It is an application which is used multiple times during the day.

Pros

Adobe pdf is one of the most frequently used application in our organisation. It's easy to use and requires little or no training at all. Conversion works smoothly and pdf merging is also available to the users which makes it a complete package for us to work with.

Cons

We rely heavily on Adobe pdf for Optical character Recognition (OCR) however at times, the OCR doesn't capture all the details and hence we cannot rely completely on the accuracy of the captured texts. There are a number of documents we receive on a daily basis and hence it would be really helpful if the capture rate can be improved.

Pros

No one can copy and paste PDF documents and steel information as it will show especially for long and large files. It is not easy to convert many things and this is an advantage as it secures your data.

Cons

The file size could be smaller as this could be a small issue as a PDF file yet it is sent by email easily.

Editing/annotating PDF's is a vital need for many individuals and especially businesses. While Acrobat DC is a great tool, its price can be quite prohibitive. As such, while using Acrobat DC is in and of itself a good experience, when taking into consideration its price, Acrobat DC ends up as a subpar experience.

Pros

Adobe Acrobat DC is an incredibly powerful PDF editor, supporting pretty much every feature you can imagine when it comes to PDF editing. These features include basic tools, such as deleting/adding/reordering pages, and adding annotations to more advanced functions such as editing existing text, deleting elements on the page, and creating fillable forms. Fillable forms in particular is a very powerful tool, with Acrobat attempting to automatically detect form fields within a PDF. In addition, Acrobat DC supports digital signatures.

allowing you to edit vast majorities of a PDF including existing text. You can create fillable forms from an existing PDF that does not have fillable forms.

Cons

The main downside to Acrobat DC is its price - $15/month in perpetuity. For a program that is designed to do one thing (and it does that one thing quite well), $15/month is quite expensive. Furthermore, Acrobat DC's interface is extremely dense and can be hard to navigate. Finally, creating fillable forms can be a lesson in frustration when Acrobat's auto form detection fails.r

I highly recommend Adobe Acrobat to anyone who works with PDF documents regularly.

Pros

One of the most impressive features of Adobe Acrobat is its ability to edit PDFs with ease. With the software's advanced editing tools, I can make changes to text, images, and even add or remove pages from a PDF document.

Adobe Acrobat DC allows us to swiftly and simply fill out and sign PDF forms, as well as amend and return PDF documents to clients and partners through email. As a result, the software increases our efficiency while also improving the client experience. Over the medium and long term, we anticipate the software application will assist decrease printing and courier expenses. Adobe is a must-have for both official and personal use due to day-to-day duties. Its storage features, in particular, have made it on my list of must-have apps.

Pros

I enjoy how simple it is to use, how many useful tools it has, how papers can be updated, how electronic signatures can be added, how you can clip photographs, add documents, and divide them, and how each tool is simple to use. They also make your regular tasks a lot simpler. I believe that each new version is far superior to the previous one, since it adapts to the contemporary demands of office job and education. The ability to quickly alter documents, including adding and changing information (text or pictures), inserting electronic signatures, rearranging pages, and connecting and splitting documents. Furthermore, it is software that has never caused me any issues while viewing PDF files (it displays any format correctly) and allows me to quickly check the certifications of the papers I get.

Cons

While editing documents, the location of test components might shift, making it difficult to reposition them. It also fails to correctly render the font of new edits. On many features, there isn't enough marketing and documentation. It may also be made to be a bit cheaper. There are a variety of features available, depending on how they are used. It's a little difficult to go back and forth between these functions. There are certain problems with text scanning that cause some characters to be misinterpreted. The cost of Adobe Acrobat DC licence is slightly greater, and the free version provides very restricted functionality to the user. Apart from that, the features, facilities, and user compatibility are excellent.

My experience is very wonderful and I rely on it completely in my work and in my home and during my university studies I did not buy paper books and replaced them with a tambourine and increased work on it after I was on the phone
I am really grateful to this company, which is part of my daily entertainment, work and cultural life

Pros

• So useful for this day and age. I can set up fields I want filled, mark certain ones as required and then save & send for completion.
• Multiplatform (desktop, mobile, and web)
• Offers PDF editing and conversion options
• Fast high-quality output delivery
• Print to PDF
• Forms to fillable PDFs conversions
• PDFs to Office formats conversions

Cons

• Unfortunately, recently, my office has been fighting a battle with Reader DC which have forced us to go back and purchase older copies of Reader just to be able to do our daily tasks. For some reason, the newest updates have picked a battle with what seems to be certain HP print drivers, rendering all Windows processes extremely slow, especially upon printing.
• The trial period is short
• I've tried pulling images from PDFs using Acrobat DC and sometimes it works like a charm and other times it just doesn't work. It pixelates the image or it doesn't pull the entire thing.
• When converting files from PDF to Microsoft program, the quality is low and the format must be worked on again
• I wish Adobe could be more cost efficient.

Though I used the free 'Reader' version for many years, I find myself using the full features of the paid version far more often than I would have expected, that is, on a semi-daily basis. It is the kind of tool that you never expect you need, until you do. For someone in my business (translation) who has to work with a wide range of documents of various types and qualities, it is more than worth the modest price tag.

Pros

Acrobat DC makes it quite easy to create, edit, and manage PDF files. I particularly appreciate the 'fill in and sign' feature, which has certainly saved me from having to print and scan several hundred pages of documents. The edit and rearrange features are invaluable in preparing documents for efficient translation or further processing. The OCR feature, while not as powerful as those provided by competitors such as Abby and Omnipage, is quite good for the price.

Cons

The interface seems a bit messy, with icons across top and side bars. It almost seems as if they took the Reader version and then added all the additional features to the side bar, cluttering up the interface. I find it quite annoying that the bar cannot be moved or hidden, especially when I am trying to work with several documents on one screen.

I love this programs, and have kept my business subscription even after I retired from the position in which I used it daily, because it is always handy. The scanner is my number 1 most used element of the program. The convenience of scanning forms and documents and knowing you have a copy in your possession that can be accessed anywhere and any time is great. I also found the program handy for getting signatures from people far away on sales agreements, etc. The ability to move pages around, collaborate and so much more make this a program that is a must have. I also found the price is very affordable. Finally, I like that all my PDFs that I want to keep can be downloaded onto my computer so that should I ever not purchase the program in the future (though I doubt it!), I have hard copies of everything on my disk drive. I hope you find this helpful. I do highly recommend the Adobe DC program

Pros

The program is easy to use. It provides many features from scanning (which I love!) to editing, merging and sending documents out for signatures, and it is affordable. There is also the convenience of cloud storage for access anywhere.

Cons

I would have liked to be able to send a document that needed two signatures (usually husband and wife) to a single address for both signatures. That was a bit of a problem, as older couples often share a single email, especially today when email is not as prominent as it was prior to social media.

Best PDF Viewer at a cost

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Adobe Acrobat and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a powerful and versatile PDF editor. However, the cost and complexity of the software may make it less accessible for some users, and the limited customization options may be frustrating for those who require more control over the appearance of their documents.

Pros

One of the standout features of Adobe Acrobat is its user-friendly interface. The software is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to accomplish tasks such as merging, splitting, and editing PDFs. Additionally, the software offers a range of editing tools, including the ability to add text, images, and even video to PDFs. The software works seamlessly across Windows, Mac, and mobile devices, allowing for easy collaboration and sharing.

Cons

While Adobe Acrobat has many impressive features, there are also some drawbacks that should be noted. One of the main issues is the cost. Compared to other PDF editors on the market, Adobe Acrobat is significantly more expensive, which may make it less accessible for some users.

This tool is the best PDF reader and editor I have used. It is very useful for sending and receiving documents by email. To view documents that are not going to be edited in a secure way, thanks to the fact that it has several security options.

Pros

Its ease of use is its most outstanding feature. It has the ability to open documents in various formats such as PowerPoint, Word, JPG, others; it accepts various text and image formats. It allows the function of blocking some documents by the user, so that they are not copied without prior permission of the author of the document. It can be used on Linux, OS, Windows and Mac operating systems, as well as mobile devices.

Cons

It has features that make it an excellent software. So far I have not found any negative aspects to mention.

ADOBE Acrobat Reader DC is nothing but a primary PDF reader and editor for me that helps me to do my job as a teacher especially when I use sharing screen ADOBE Acrobat reader makes my desktop into a whiteboard with smart tools to annotate and edit my text. My clients are so happy to see me use this tool as my main and primary software.

Pros

There are a lot of things I like to mention here such as the reliability and security of this app. It allows me to store, view, and edit the given files in comparison with other PDF readers Adobe is more smooth and is equipped with better tools. It helps me to turn the pages, Zoom in / out tools with soft and smooth UI that allows a user like me to enjoy working with it .

Cons

Not much just these days Adobe has become the biggest part of every business I wish we could have more options on their promotional campaign during the year for having discounts on the product not just for Adobe reader but for Photoshop too.

I used, and still use, Acrobat. As an old schooler, I know how much this software has improved pdf file processing. Moreover, it is light and has many features. It suits me perfectly

Pros

We use the Acrobat reader so often that we forget that it is a whole package. I do the same lol. Adobe Acrobat is a pioneer in PDF file processing. One of its most important tools was the PDF printer driver. Now all OS have it natively. For me, it remains the best. But with time, it has improved a lot, with many features, especially with the pro pack. I still use it for reading and signing my pdf documents

Cons

- The creation of a pro version- Acrobat Reader is the most highlighted. The other features, especially the editing, need to be improved more
