    Great Product

    Date: Jan 12 2022
    Summary

    Overall a great experience with Adobe Acrobat DC and as always no disappointments with Microsoft products. I believe that having the write tool for the job always makes it easier and less of a hassle to do the task.

    Positive

    Great product for editing, review stamps, comments, combine files and they are all very easy to use and intuitive. There are so many more things that is in the program that we don't use on a daily basis but it's easy enough to do a quick search and find out we need done.

    Negative

    I haven't dug into it too much but the snapshot didn't seem to work like the previous versions of Adobe.

    A fairly efficient platform to print PDF files and have a much more complete view of them.

    Date: Jul 22 2022
    Summary

    I am grateful for the general functioning of the experience that this platform has given us during all this time, within this company we handle many PDF files because we are a company that constantly has to send signed documents or signed contracts, with the help of this platform. We can make a digital signature and we can create a PDF file without any type of limitation. The digital signatures within this platform is one of the most outstanding things, each one of the digital signatures that are made within it cannot be modified or altered by any other person, even if the person uses Adobe Acrobat to try to modify the signature, This digital signature has end-to-end encryption security, so each of the clients will not be able to modify this signature no matter how hard they try. This platform is being used much more within your company, because we take care of contracting and creating contract documents within it, in order to be able to carry out negotiations within our company.

    Positive

    Adobe Acrobat is without a doubt an excellent option to consider when you need to edit a PDF document or when you need to create one, its general operation is quite good and the interface quite fluid, which helps to make editing the PDF document quite simple. What I like the most about this platform is that you can perform multiple functions, alava, you can make digital signatures within the platform. Another thing that I liked is that you can avoid all kinds of PDF files in a matter of minutes, it doesn't matter if the file is locked or has some limitation, you can still avoid it completely. I should also mention that I like the option to print the PDF file, it allows you to modify how the print will be, It also allows you to modify the width of each of the borders to make a fairly correct print. Another of the beneficial options of this platform is that it allows you to convert PDF files to files of another format, as well as allowing you to convert documents to PDF files and after that, print them. It is a fairly complete platform that helps to carry out all kinds of tasks within the PDF file.

    Negative

    This platform does not have any type of disadvantages, during our experience we have had enough positive functionality which has allowed us to edit, create and print all kinds of PDF files in a matter of minutes, at no time have we had any problem with this platform, it has Had excellent performance both from our mobile devices, within our computer. It is a fairly light application, so it can be downloaded on any device or computer. The conversion of files or documents to PDF files is quite fast, the process takes only a few seconds, and the general interface helps the user to edit documents with total comfort.

    Complete experience in editing and creating PDF files from scratch.

    Date: Sep 18 2022
    Summary

    Adobe Acrobat has become our main mechanism for the creation, distribution and editing of all types of PDF files, when we have a .docx document or PowerPoint document, we can easily use this platform to convert this type of document to a PDF file, to make it more convenient to transfer and much more secure for the information inside it, you can lock it so that no one can modify it. I really loved the experience I had with this PDF file creation system, I consider it to be very complete, it has advanced tools to avoid the entire PDF file, modify the fonts, insert all kinds of images, modify the size of the PDF document and many more. other things that make it a very good shower. I recommend it for any type of company, even for small companies, it is a very accessible software with quite good prices.

    Positive

    Adobe Acrobat is an excellent solution to be able to view and avoid all types of PDF files from the comfort of your computer or from your mobile device, the main thing that I like about this platform is that it is available for both mobile phones and computers, so which, editing something PDF file or creating one should never be a problem for you. Another thing I like is that it has an encryption key and a security key for all the files you create, this way every time you create a PDF file you can lock it if you like, or you can leave the security free so everyone can access it and modify it at any time, security within this platform abounds a lot. I also love that the digital signature system is built into this platform, so if you need to sign any of the PDF files that you are modifying or creating, you can make use of this function immediately, you can create your personalized signature and use it as many times as you want. It is important to note that the platform prices or fees are really low, you can get it and start modifying PDF files without paying so much.

    Negative

    The main problem that I have found within this platform is that you cannot convert a PDF to text, that means that if you are modifying a PDF that is not your property and you want to extract the information through a text, this is not possible through this platform, this PDF file editor only allows you to modify the information inside it but does not allow you to convert the image of the PDF file into a copyable and editable text. Another thing that I do not like is that you cannot work together or collaboratively with a colleague, if you want to modify or create a PDF file together with the collaboration of a work colleague, this is not possible within this platform, there is no function that allows you to work together.

    Positive

    Adobe is really easy to understand and use. There are helpful hints it gives to make working faster and more efficient. There are also help buttons to explain how to use the tools.

    Negative

    For what I need adobe for, it works great. Getting things to export out can be a little difficult sometimes.

    Good PDF reader but becomes expensive when adding features

    Date: Jul 20 2022
    Summary

    Overall, this software is a mainstay in most offices for a reason. It is probably the best PDF software on the market. However, most of its features come with a fairly steep price tag and require an Adobe cloud subscription.

    Positive

    - allows for reading and signing PDFs
    - well designed interface
    - OCR (text recognition from images) is helpful when digitizing texts
    - merging PDFs into one file can be useful

    Negative

    - any feature other than just reading PDFs (including signing, formatting, adding pages, etc) costs too much money.
    - subscription model only

    Great capacity to convert files of all types.

    Date: Mar 02 2022
    Summary

    In our company it has always been necessary to handle PDF files to be able to make contracts, carry out property negotiations and much more. For us, PDF files have become our main method of conducting business, as we can fully draft a contract, place signature formats, and also block editing of the contract, so that we can send it to clients so they can read the contract. with determination. These locked-for-edit PDFs are quite useful to us, it has served us tremendously as our clients do not have the ability to alter the information that is there.

    Our clients can see all the contracts thanks to Adobe Acrobat, there is no need to do paperwork and deliver the contracts in person, just do it through Acrobat.

    Positive

    Adobe Acrobat is one of the main platforms that we use for editing, reading and reviewing the various PDF files that we receive in our company every day. For us, this platform is very important since it fulfills the function of editing PDF files, something that almost no software can do. One of the things that I liked the most are:

    - I love being able to modify any type of text in Adobe Acrobat. This software allows me to modify the text, fonts and images that the various PDF files have without any type of limit.

    - I really like the way I can sign files that I am editing in Adobe Acrobat. It allows me to make signatures for all types of sheets, in addition, the signature is blocked so that it cannot be altered by any source. This signature system helps me a lot because in our real estate company, it allows us to send these contracts with digital signatures, so that clients can complete the contract just by placing their signature, without having to do anything else.

    - I love the way I can lock the editing of a PDF document. When I want no one to modify the content of a PDF file, a contract or a sheet with our signature, we can block it using Acrobat, to avoid all kinds of alterations and problems with clients.

    - It's amazing how I can convert almost anything to PDF, such as word, excel or powerpoint files, I can convert everything to PDF in just a few seconds with the help of Acrobat. I can also do it the other way around, I can convert my PDF files to another type of document.

    Negative

    One of the main problems that I have faced during my experience with Adobe Acrobat were:

    - Adobe Acrobat takes a long time to print PDF files. When I send the print request to my printer, it takes a long time to process the PDF images and then print them. This process takes approximately 5-10 minutes but I would like it to happen right away. This is not a factor that affects me exponentially, but I would prefer it to be more optimized, it would be excellent to be able to print more PDFs without having to wait so long.

    - Another thing that I have not liked so much about Adobe Acrobat is its free trial. The free trial is quite limited for all users as it only allows about 6 PDF files to be edited, in the free version this is not unlimited. In addition, it does not allow the impressions to be made in the same quality as in the paid version. In my opinion, the free trial should be improved, to encourage more users to access a paid Adobe Acrobat plan.

    Great for Editing PDFs

    Date: Jan 25 2022
    Summary

    Overall this is a great program for editing and combining PDFs. If you use PDFs at all, you should have this program.

    Positive

    I really like being able to edit PDFs. This is a great program for setting up a form and making it fillable. I use this almost everyday to edit and combine PDFs for our church. Easy to use and great, since PDFs are everywhere.

    Negative

    I would like this as a stand alone program that doesn't require a subscription. Like it used to be.

    Date: Jun 10 2022

    Positive

    Adobe Acrobat DC Review

    Date: Jul 16 2022
    Summary

    Overall, I don’t have any issues with the software. I like the ability to change documents from anywhere on the cloud. However, I don’t know if we will keep it long term due to the costly.

    Positive

    I use Adobe Acrobat DC for all of our document changes and for signing too. I don’t know of any other software that provides the ability to edit pdfs.

    Negative

    It’s priced a little too high in my opinion. It seems that since there isn’t any competition, they can charge a lot. I wish I could pay a one time fee instead of monthly.

    PDF solution for better information distribution

    Date: Apr 22 2021
    Summary

    Undoubtedly, one of the benefits seen since implementing this tool has been the notable reduction in time taken from creating documents to being able to share them, whether with colleagues or clients. Also, among the many features it provides, it includes the Adobe cloud. Adobe Acrobat DC is undoubtedly the best tool available for PDF use today; I have nothing but positive comments and would recommend this tool without hesitation.

    Positive

    Adobe Acrobat DC has been very beneficial to our organization. It allows us to create, edit and distribute information quickly and easily in a highly secure format that is easily accessible to users.

    Negative

    I would only point out that the version of Acrobat DC for mobile devices is not as easy to use as the desktop version; other than that, there is nothing I dislike about this tool at the moment.

    Primary tool for PDF editing

    Date: Feb 21 2021
    Summary

    Primarily Adobe Acrobat has solved problems with my company documents since sometimes I tend to make mistakes within a final document and a complete editing is needed, however this has not been problem thanks to this software which has helped me in all aspects with the editing of PDF documents and thus keep everything in order. Also, I can sign or protect my document.

    Positive

    With this software I have been able to read and edit my PDF files safely without any problem, and it also has very advanced tools for editing PDF documents. It is very simple and easy to use this platform even knowing that Adobe products have extensive learning curves, however this platform is the exception. I really like that you can have the option to rearrange the pages in case you have a document problem with the page order. The truth is that what most catches my attention and has helped me a lot is the tool that allows me to recognize text in scanned documents, this helps me not to need to write everything again in case of a correction.

    Negative

    As I mentioned before, despite being Adobe software this has been very easy to understand at first, I have not had to read all the documentation to understand it. Adobo Acrobat has been my number 1 tool in PDF editing as it is very complete and stable with respect to that format.

    Adobe Acrobat DC a worthy software

    Date: Oct 01 2021
    Summary

    Overall it's a good software, i recommend you to give it a try. You need to pay for this variant of Adobe, and you can not alter documents on the off chance that you have not. The present moment I am utilizing it to send secure agreement data and monetary data. This is as yet the best arrangement.

    Positive

    It has extremely strong usefulness and is easy to use. Regardless of whether it's altering records, making structures, or joining documents, the product is exceptionally natural to utilize. Additionally, it rushes to set up has a sensible cost. Our business for the most part manages advanced reports, and this product has made archive the board significantly simpler.

    Negative

    What i don't care for about Acrobat DC is the way that you can not utilize it without sign in with a web association, and some of the time, there is no wifi accessible, so I need to interface sharing the web of my cellphone.

    If you use PDFs, you need this software!

    Date: Jun 30 2021
    Summary

    From reading to creating to editing PDFs, Adobe Acrobat is the ultimate solution. Its ease of use saves a lot of time and headaches too, especially with its Creative Cloud integration.

    Positive

    Adobe acrobat was already amazing with its PDF creation capabilities in the app and as a PDF viewer in-browser. But with the recent update, it has gotten even better. The new in-browser PDF editor is so helpful and extremely powerful. You can edit any text just as well as in the app, and far better than anything you can do on Google Docs without the file conversion errors.

    Negative

    The app takes up a good bit of memory, but this isn't really an issue anymore with the in-browser features!

    Why did we wait so long?

    Summary

    Overall the product is great as a basic PDF viewer but when you start using the more advanced features it has been a time saver of going back and forth between Microsoft Word to update documents and converting them.

    Positive

    The ability and ease to create PDF agreements, Forms and other business documents that we need to get signed by our clients and vendors and have this all handled through one software is incredible. Why did we wait to upgrade from the free reader for so long.

    Negative

    None at this time. Acrobat has always been our go to PDF reader, but now we have more options with the paid subscription of DC.

    Summary

    Overall great software system and allows me to do all the things I need, although using a "pro" version may give more options.

    Positive

    Seamless for putting documents together for sharing. The look is nice and the documents are locked for changes.

    Negative

    I can't always alter to do things like insert signature, sometimes wonky.
