Easy to use pdf viewer

5.0 last month New

Comments: Thanks to this application I have been able to underline files sent to me in pdf, making it much easier for me to understand a particular topic, in addition to this it has helped me when doing group work to underline the information more easily and to understand the information more easily.

Pros:

What I like most about Adobe Acrobat is its ease of use, the free tools it offers allow you to highlight within the document, in turn facilitates the organization of documents, if necessary facilitates the ability to electronically sign the work.

Cons:

Editing files in pdf format is not free, you have to pay to use this tool, it is also easier to edit files in other formats and not have to pay to do so.

Comments: I would expect the pioneers of PDF format to always be the benchmark -and i'm happy to say they are!You can expect frequent updates form Adobe and always easier ways to handle PDFs... it's the most feature rich handler i've used (And i've used many). HOWEVER - there are alot of very good competitors out there for a fraction of the cost of Adobe Acrobat with most of the features you find here. If you run a business or you're a professional where PDFs are a considerably important part of your workflow go for it. For everyone else, there are great free or cheaper options out there with all the functionality you want.

Pros:

Frequent updates.All the features you can think of in terms of PDF workloads.Amazing file format conversion options.

Cons:

Expensive.Editing text is a toss up for me - more times than not it feels like its a sib sluggish and accurate formatting to the original format isn't guaranteed.

Comments: Overall, I found it to be okay however I feel they should consider cheaper tier options for clients who don't use all the features.

Pros:

I like that it's a user-friendly program and universally used all over the world. It makes working with international clients much easier.

Cons:

Sometimes when I have bigger documents, it lags when I try to print and I often need to cancel the documents

Widely recognized for digital signature but editing features needs polishing

5.0 last month New

Comments: Overall I am satisfied with the software especially for the commonly accepted digital signature format, but for the pdf editing and reading functionality, there are better or comparable alternatives out there.

Pros:

The digital signature functionality is widely used and recognized by our clients from overseas including India, USA and China. We no longer need to circulate hardcopies for pen signature followed by scanning the physical documents into our document management system - saving printing and paper costs and most importantly time spent on circulating physical documents.

Cons:

The function for editing is not as polished. The experience is not smooth especially if you use it to fill up electronic forms. There is no fixed font size, only a 'enlarge' and 'reduce' toggle for the font. There is also no smart function to snap texts in place or auto alignment. These functionality are available in other free to use competitors.

Amazing All-in-One PDF Tool

5.0 last month New

Comments: Our overall experience with Adobe Acrobat has been excellent. It has become an integral part of our document workflow. It helps us create professional PDFs, collaborate on documents, and ensure document security.

Pros:

What I liked most about Adobe Acrobat is its comprehensive set of features. It's truly an all-in-one PDF tool that allows me to create, edit, organize, and secure PDF documents with ease.

Cons:

One downside of Adobe Acrobat is its pricing, which can be quite steep especially for small businesses.
