Pros
The integration with other Adobe apps like InDesign. Best PDF editing features that enable me to edit a PDF file in any way I like and convert it in any format and back to PDF format as I'm pleased.
My favorite and most used feature is its seamless integration for the Adobe creative package which also includes photoshop, indesign, and illustrator.
The ability to share documents and have all edits and comments saved right in the document with information on who made them provides accountability and streamlined communication.
Cons
It's a little difficult to go back and forth between these functions. There are certain problems with text scanning that cause some characters to be misinterpreted.
Horrible customer service, difficultnti work with HP printing software. It is also not in real time.
Adding comments can be a struggle. I end up spending too much time while at it.

Undeniably Indispensable Utility For Everyday Productivity

Reviewed 5 months ago

Quite impressed with the attention to detail (UI & UX) & accessibility of the software's feature-set. Will continue using the software as there aren't as many enticing options out there as Acrobat.

Pros

The ease of use thanks to Acrobat's clean user interface as well as the incremental updates build upon the already-great functionality of the software - such merits are enough to maintain my continuous usage on desktop & mobile.

Cons

Despite my overall satisfaction with the software, the OCR & conversion functions with the Arabic & Turkish languages have proven disappointing & need more work for improving the experience (both in terms of recognition accuracy & speed).

A PDF viewer that functions well, but has many features blocked behind a paywall.

Reviewed a month ago

It's a good PDF viewer and editor.

Pros

I like that it makes navigating and reading PDFs easy. It is easy to read even huge documents of several hundred pages with Adobe Acrobat. Back in college I used it for textbooks even.

Cons

There are many features blocked behind a paywall that you think you have access to. For example, I was under the impression that I'd be able to edit PDFs in the free version, but I ended up having to buy it. While I don't mind buying the software, I do mind when I think it's in the free version only to find out last minute that I don't have the feature.

Reviewed 4 months ago
Pros

It will open any pdf file, it has plenty of options, including accessibility options. I like particularly the easy way to put an electronic signature on any document and send a flat copy to anyone directly from adobe.

Cons

The paid features, the cost is very high for features that are mostly available in many free pdf writers. They should make some of those freely available.
