    Ideal device in business for everyday use

    Date: Dec 07 2020
    Summary

    The problem that it is not possible for customers to authorize individual records. Types that need to be combined into a single package. The ability to take paper types and also turn them into fillable PDF.

    Positive

    When the pandemic started and we were all sent to work from another location, my company had over a hundred types that needed to be changed in PDF layout and could also be finalized and authorized online. Adobe did this conversion without any problems and, despite having several of the problems, the experience for me and also for the customers was absolutely incredible.

    Negative

    Some packages would certainly appear in a standard dimension that I couldn't seem to transform for my use. When I would certainly get a box of the required size if I replicated and pasted, after that, all the information you typed in a replicated box for all the packages was gone, so I had to resize all of them, which was kind of inconvenient.

    Life is good with Adobe

    Date: May 06 2020
    Summary

    Luckily, I have someone else in the office who helps me navigate when necessary, so I would never stop using it!

    Positive

    I like the freedom to work within the document and most uploads prefer this format. It also makes sending attachments better.

    Negative

    It is sometimes difficult to navigate to make changes or build a document.

    Easy to use and clean design

    Date: Oct 21 2020
    Summary

    Easy to use for basic edits, making PDFs searchable etc. but not as intuitive as you'd think for some tools (like making forms). I'm still not sure how to use adobe sign.

    Positive

    I love that you can use Adobe Acrobat DC to merge documents, make documents searchable and edit smoothly PDFs. It's come in very handy since I receive so many PDFs from clients that are "image only", or where I notice small typos. The editing feature has really improved over the years.

    Negative

    I still haven't figured out how to use Adobe Sign...Sometimes when I reduce the file size of PDFs to send through email it makes the images grainy. I wish there was an intuitive way to reduce the file size where it would be reduced before the point that some images start to loose quality.

    Good document management

    Date: May 28 2020
    Summary

    Editing pdf files is the best feature. I recommend using Adobe Sign. I really like how easy it loads documents both on desktop and mobile.

    Positive

    I like Adobe Acrobat DC because you to create, convert, sign, send, and oversee PDF files on desktops, phones or tablet as long as you have Windows.

    I have no complaints about the options offered by Adobe Document Cloud and that is probably because I only use it minimally. There are features I do not know how to use them.

    Other than pricing its just great

    Date: Nov 10 2020
    Summary

    Like i mentioned the only issue is pricing you cannot edit files just highlight them if the software is not paid and other features to. But a normal user does not use those features much often.

    Positive

    I personally love the UI/UX of this software and the ease to use it. It serves its purpose that is viewing PDF files.

    Negative

    The pricing is too high, you can get those extra features on the web for free. And nobody uses those extra features on a daily basis.

    Very Robust Product

    Date: Jul 29 2020
    Summary

    I have loved this product since I figured out many of the capabilities it has to combine PDF's, export to other products, etc.

    Positive

    I have always just used the basic Adobe product. After utilizing the more robust version, which allows me to edit/combine PDF's, convert to Excel, password protect, etc. I realized how much I have been missing.

    Negative

    There are so many Adobe products, that it makes it hard to know which product you are using. Better marketing and clearer definitions of the products would be helpful.

    The greatest yet the lightest!

    Date: Jun 04 2020
    Summary

    I think Adobe Acrobat has stood the test of time and is the best one out there but they could still make a couple of improvements to the software. Why isn't there a dark mode yet?

    Positive

    - Has more features than you would ask for, out of a PDF reader application.
    - Doesn't put too much load on the system unlike the web browsers.
    - Easy-to-use search and indexing features.

    Negative

    - The paid version can be pricey for individuals.
    - The dark mode feature should have been available by now. Wake up Adobe!

    The PDF reader with the most features. Yet not innovating enough.

    Date: May 24 2020
    Summary

    I have been using the Acrobat DC for years now and I find it irreplaceable. Yet I would really love to see some features being added to this simple yet useful software.

    Positive

    - Very clean UI and easy to use.
    - Not very heavy despite having so many features.
    - Several tools like fill and sign etc really make the software a complete solution unlike other half baked tools.

    Negative

    - Adobe could easily be adding so many good features that it is not. For example Wikipedia has a feature wherein hovering the mouse pointer over a link/reference displays the actual value of that reference on a bubble next to the pointer. I don't understand why such a simple yet useful feature is absent in the most used pdf reader out there.
    - Still waiting for Dark mode.
    - The paid version can get really pricey.
