    A must software

    Date: Jan 21 2021
    Summary

    Positive

The cons of using this software that it is light weight, has clean user interface, you can customise this as per your needs, supports all sizes of PDF files very easily, and is available for all operating systems. You can comment on PDF, make notes, highlight, signature and what not.

    Best in PDF editing

    Date: Aug 27 2021
    Summary

    It is not a perfect program, but nothing on the market is. When I need to work with PDF files, this is still my go-to and what I suggest to everyone else looking to utilize an app.

    Positive

    When it comes to the difficult task of editing PDFs, there is no program I'd rather turn to to help create, edit, and sign. It holds nothing back.

    Negative

    The program can be laggy and slow, and the text boxes can be uncooperative on editing. I've found this in all programs I've used, however.

    My Go-To

    Date: Aug 12 2021
    Summary

    Acrobat is my go-to for quickly editing or assembling PDFs. Working in marketing, I often need to string together multiple separate PDFs and then make them all e-fillable - such a breeze in Acrobat.

    Positive

    Intuitive tools and options for editing PDFs, rearranging and adding pages, adding text fields, etc. Super easy to navigate, the user interface is great.

    Negative

    It's a little confusing to export as a fillable PDF - it's pretty hidden behind/under some random export settings that took me an embarrassingly long time to finally remember.

    Streamlines review process for large documents across the organization

    Date: May 24 2021
    Summary

    This is a super handy program when you need to get feedback on one document from multiple users. Especially when your review process requires collaboration between multiple people.

    Positive

    Acrobat DC makes the review process for documents MUCH simpler than anything else I've used. Especially over the last 1.5 years of my organization working remotely, it has been the best way to solicit and consolidate feedback on one document. Reviewers are able to simple drop little comment boxes anywhere on a file and write feedback that appears in the margin. They can see feedback from other reviewers (and even tag other users) so that the tool is great for collaboration as well.

    Negative

    I wish more people had the program! Using the in-browser version works for getting feedback from users without the program, but it doesn't work as well as having the app installed on your computer.

    Easy to use, a little pricey

    Date: Sep 07 2021
    Summary

    Overall, the app is great, and the price seems justifiable when you are using it regularly. I do think there is a massive difference between the free version and the subscription, and it would be nice if there was a middle grade option.

    Positive

    After updating to the monthly subscription version, I found the app very easy to use, and I rarely had problems using it. It worked seamlessly across devices, which was very helpful when switching from laptop to desktop to phone. I loved the features like blacking out data, combining pdfs, and reorganizing/removing pages. These features were really useful for our business.

    Negative

    Now that I do not need to use Adobe as often, and I don't need all of the features, I find it hard to justify the 14.99/mo price point. I would like to see multiple versions of Adobe Acrobat DC with maybe a 4.99/mo price option for some but not all of the features.

    The standard PDF reader

    Date: Nov 15 2021
    Summary

    Go-to choice for virtually everyone across the world. Adobe continues to do a brilliant job on keeping this software updated.

    Positive

    The standard PDF reader for over 2 decades. As one of the OG creators of editable documents, Adobe continues to do a brilliant job.

    Negative

    PDF Forms are glitchy and several features which we take for granted on competitor products are paid-only in Acrobat.
