Pros

“The OCR functionality works well for scanned documents, and the editing, commenting, and form-fill capabilities make collaboration much easier across teams.”

Dominique T.

IT Support Specialist

“It's the main tool I use for managing PDFs, mostly for filling out form-type documents, and I also use both the electronic signature and my real signature.”

Álvaro C.

Deploy Manager

“It is a reliable and feature-rich tool for working with PDFs, offering strong capabilities for editing, signing, converting, and organizing documents.”

Amanda M.

Operator

Pros

“I use it often at work, especially when I need to send papers to customers for signatures; it quickens and streamlines the entire process.”

Mustapha A.

MBBS

“Have used it when sending documents to clients - really nice format and like that the info cannot be changed within the document sent.”

Laurie D.

Consultant

“Overall, i find the interface of PDF Reader Pro to be intuitive and easy to navigate, making it suitable for users with varying levels of technical expertise and the availability of PDF Reader Pro on multiple platforms allows users to access and edit their PDFs seamlessly across different devices.”

Karis T.

Assistant Human Resources Officer

Cons

“One area that could be improved is customer support, as it can sometimes take a while to contact the support team and have technical issues resolved. Although Adobe Acrobat is generally reliable, occasional bugs or system issues can disrupt work, and resolving these can be time-consuming when support is not immediately available.”

Megan B.

Systems Administrator

“Adobe Acrobat does have it's own limitations, and that includes when those receiving the files don't posses the software then they aren't able to make any edits of their own too the PDF, and in some cases can't open the file themselves. Although this is understandable, it can become a boundary when working in a fast pace environment.”

Hayden R.

Graphic Desinger

“didn’t like that the free version doesn't allow PDF editing, so you need a paid subscription to access many useful features.”

Fatemeh E.

Data Analyst

Cons

“Miscommunication on the website itself lead to me subscribing for a free trial which ended up not being one, now they do not want to refund me - and it was R2000!”

Nicole v.

“No app is worth that much money, and above that, they are not willing to refund.”

“Sometimes if it needs an update, it delays me accessing the document.”
