SEE WHAT USERS HAVE TO SAY

“We constantly use Adobe. Many forms are sent in PDF, so Adobe is our go-to program. We keep many files in PDF format and Adobe is the way we view, sign and add notes to documents in this format. Plus, Adobe works hand in hand with our payroll software. I would highly recommend Adobe to any business.”

“ One of the best uses of Adobe is the sign, track, and send feature. You can color code and label each section for everyone to sign. In large documents, it is easy to sort and insert/replace pages without having to open multiple documents. It cost a little more but the upgrade is worth it, editing and converting to PDF is a big help.”

“I use Adobe Acrobat Reader almost on a daily basis. I have increased my usage over the 18 months due to the increased remote work for myself and all my staff. I use it primarily to fill and sign documents, agreements, and invoices. This has made it very easy to approve, sign, and route documents for signatures.”


FEATURES

Convert PDFS - Using the built-in PDF converter or Microsoft 365, you can turn scanned and digital documents into PDFs in seconds, offline and online, from any device. Transform Word, PPT, Excel, JPG, HTML, and more into beautiful PDFs (and vice versa!) while preserving the format and design choices of the original document.

Edit PDFS - This is where you'll realize why Adobe Acrobat PDF is the most powerful and comprehensive PDF editor out there. It doesn't just let you split, merge, rotate, crop, or insert elements. It also offers the ability to capture the text from a scanned document, create a custom font, and then use that font to make some edits. You can even adjust line and character spacing, highlight, strikethrough, or underline text, and add annotations, comments, and markups!

Share & Collaborate - Adobe Acrobat PDF eliminates the frustration of collaborating on a PDF document with multiple people via email. With this PDF editor, you can simply create a link and send it to others for real-time review, comments, and feedback, so everyone is on the same page. The recipients don’t even need to download the app or be an Adobe user!

Protect PDFs - If you want to ensure that confidential information is not accessible by the wrong people, you can encrypt PDF files with passwords, set permissions, or redact sensitive data.

ARE THERE ANY EXTRAS?

Sign - Adding or collecting signatures has never been this easy! Whether it's for contracts or approval forms, you can sign or get others to sign without you having to print and scan documents, wrestle with your mouse, or use any other third-party application.

Form Filling & Creation - Create forms from scratch or convert existing documents and scans into interactive PDF forms. Make the necessary changes and add specialized form fields such as text fields, barcodes, radio buttons, checkboxes, drop-down list, digital signature field, etc.

Read Out Loud - handy Text-to-Speech (TTS) built-in tool to read the full PDF, including comments.

EASE OF USE

Adobe Acrobat integrates seamlessly with Microsoft applications and other online file management services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SharePoint, and Google Drive. It does exactly what it claims to do and does it efficiently and quickly, even when you're working with multiple large files. Adobe Acrobat is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS and is supported by the following browsers: IE 11, Firefox, and Chrome. Note that Acrobat Standard DC is not available on macOS, so sign up for the Pro version if you're a mac user.


PRICING AND PLANS

Adobe currently has two PDF editor packages: Acrobat Standard DC, which you can get for as low as $12.99/month, and Pro DC, which is available for a minimum of $14.99/month. Suppose you think that you'll be fine without the ability to turn scanned paper documents into searchable, editable PDFs, redact tool, Bates numbering, and the ability to add interactive elements and edit from your mobile device. In that case, the Standard DC plan should suffice. However, if you ask me, I'd say these features are worth paying the extra $2 for the Pro version.


CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Adobe has a comprehensive Help Center for all its products, and the one for Adobe Acrobat contains helpful tutorials, user guides, and basic troubleshooting articles. If you need more help, they have a ticketing system, and live chat is also available 24 hours, five days a week. You will be required to sign in for account or product-related support, but if it's just a generic question, there are also sales experts on hand. When we tried this service, we were connected to a chat agent in one second (no kidding!), and he was polite and straightforward.
