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 2024/05/08

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.

Alternatives Considered

Docusign

Reasons 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

airSlate SignNow

Reasons for Switching to Adobe Acrobat

Docusign is way more expensive, and I couldn't justify the cost for any kind of additional benefit.

Acrobat is my power tool for document assembly and publishing. It is my standard format for all important documents for distribution and storage. I can secure the files with passwords, encryption, and server based tools. Nearly everything you want to do to a PDF that was generated with Acrobat \ Distiller is possible with just a click, other converters may have less editability. However, it feels a bloated over the years and it is slow to load and the tools are not all unified from all the company acquisitions.

Pros

Fully featured, new ribbon toolbar, full document editing and vector support, export PDF objects with roundtrip to Photoshop and Illustrator, using Pro version allows extending of editing to standard PDF users, signatures saved in Adobe Cloud, OCR is accurate and has small file sizes

Cons

Very unstable, crashes a few times a week losing all changes, ongoing subscription fees are not reasonable when the features i use don't change, cannot open PDFs with Acrobat Standard without logging in to Adobe Creative Cloud which then requires an active subscription. I use two laptops and a PC each day, the license only allows two devices which is frustrating to log in and out constantly.

Easily Edit PDF's

Reviewed on 2025/01/30

Being able to use Adobe Acrobat versus other PDF products makes my work flow so much easier!

Being able to use Adobe Acrobat versus other PDF products makes my work flow so much easier!

Pros

Adobe Acrobat is easy to navigate and has so many nice features. There are times when a PDF has 2 pages but only a couple of sentences on the second page. I love that the text can be resized in order to those last sentences jump to the first page and create a 1 page PDF rather than having 2 pages or having to print on both front and back.

Cons

I don't really have any complaints about the software.
