About Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Acrobat is PDF editing software that can be used to create, convert and share PDF documents. It can convert documents in Microsoft Office formats to PDFs, and vice versa. Adobe Acrobat offers tools for remote collaboration, such as commenting, progress tracking, e-signatures, and more. PDFs can be viewed, annotated, and signed using the free Acrobat Reader mobile app.
To prevent the unauthorized access of sensitive PDFs, users can password-protect files on Adobe Acrobat. Editing features include reorder, rotate, crop, and delete pages within PDFs. Using OCR, Adobe Acrobat can instantly extract text from scanned documents to make them editable and searchable. Users can send PDFs to multiple people for viewing or to collect comments. Additionally, to streamline the document review process, a side-by-side comparison and filtering tool can highlight differences between two PDF versions.
Acrobat's advanced tools take productivity to the next level. Users can quickly compare versions of a PDF to spot differences, redact sensitive information, create web forms and reusable e-sign templates, and collect payments through Braintree integration. The software's e-signature capabilities allow for the secure collection of legally binding signatures, with the ability to receive and track multiple signatures in bulk. Additionally, Acrobat's AI Assistant provides intelligent document insights and one-click summaries to enhance user productivity.
Acrobat is available on desktop, web, and mobile platforms, ensuring seamless access and integration with popular productivity tools like Microsoft 365 and Dropbox. With enterprise-grade security features, including SSL encryption and binding-compliant e-signatures, Acrobat empowers users to work confidently and securely, whether they are individuals, small businesses, or large organizations.

It works well and is way cheaper than DocuSign
Reviewed on 8/5/2024
Pros
Uploading documents and creating templates are really easy. I haven't explored any kind of automation yet, but I've got an online form I can have anyone complete, I can set passwords when sending out documents, I can have my brand on things (it's always co-branded with Adobe), I get email confirmations when I send documents and when something is signed, the audit trail comes with the document in the email I receive after signing, and in general it's pretty easy to set up and use.
Cons
There's an 'old version' of how documents are read and edited, and a 'new' version. Sometimes it'll automatically open a document to be edited in the old version, so you essentially need to learn two different layouts for editing documents. The support when I was trying to subscribe were clearly non native English speakers and it was a bit of a pain, but all good once set up.

DocusignReasons for Choosing Adobe Acrobat
I work in financial services, and more financial services providers accept Adobe Acrobat Sign than SignNow, so I'm paying more but saving headaches of digitally signeddocuments being rejected.Switched From

The best pdf reader and builder

As much as I love how many things I can do with Adobe, I prefer them to just stick to being great at reading and building pdfs instead of trying to patch any problems with their side features.
Pros
I love how many things you can do with it. It's just just a PDF reader/builder. You can use it to edit pdfs, send contracts, create interactive forms, and to merge documents.
Cons
I don't like how some fonts look distorted in the PDF view, especially if they're very common. It struggles with Open Sans, Inter, Helvetica, or any thin font or thick font. I also don't like how it automatically zooms into a document to the point where you need to unzoom it everytime you open a document. I think it should be 100% at default.

Overall a terrible experience. The web browser one works better believe it or not
Pros
I don't know if it's just my computer being a 2015 older model, but this program is absolutely awful on my computer. Which is weird because all of the other Adobe programs run fairly well on it.
Cons
I don't like that it takes forever to load and half of the time the features I need to use don't work or load.
