Adobe Acrobat

Verified reviewer

What they liked

Document signing is one of the best in the biz and it offers the most functional PDFs that allow it to be filled with other types of PDF viewers

Room for improvement

Primarily cost, they don't have a perpetual license anymore so they make you pay an annual fee to maintain subscription and sometimes the application breaks after an update and you need to uninstall to rollback

Why they chose it

"Currently we use both, we use Adobe for our heavy PDF users and nitro for occasional uses"

Adobe is a MUST in the HR World!!

Wonderful overall experience. I have been using Adobe for longer than I can remember, there is no other substitutions that come close in quality or ease of use.

What they liked
  • Very easy to use when editing PDFs or sending onboarding documents to new hires to sign
  • It has a great trial period and then cheap subscription that lets you do anything your heart desires when it comes to documentation/editing
  • It is a great workflow management tool for HR
Room for improvement
  • Customer support is great but the million automated messages about Adobe kill me
  • I wish more of the user interface was available without a subscription or that you could pay per document you send someone in case you only need to send documents for signature once or twice a year like myself and didn't want to pay for a subscription each time
Switched From

not as many features and documents wouldn't load with google docs half the time

Adobe specifications and Features

My overall experience with Adobe Acrobat has been excellent for managing, editing, and securing PDF documents efficiently.

What they liked

I like Adobe Acrobat most for its seamless PDF editing, conversion, and e-signature features in one platform

Room for improvement

What I liked least about Adobe Acrobat is that it can be quite slow to load large files and often consumes a lot of system resources, which affects performance during multitasking

Switched From

I made the switch to Adobe Acrobat for its advanced PDF editing, collaboration, and security features.

A necessary PDF manager

Its an app thats necessary to use but its a pain to use sometimes as its intuitive and not intuitive at the same time.

What they liked
  • Has all of the features needed for PDF management
  • Fairly easy to use and manage with minimal insight
Room for improvement
  • Pricing can be better especially for larger companies
  • Also the file to install is very large and tha app is very buggy
Why they chose it

"Software was better on adobe and updf was missing a few core features"

We use it because we have to.

We use it because its the highest security for the price and we needed unlimited use public webforms, but the second our management software matches this ability, we'll be cancelling adobe.

What they liked

the level of security for the signatures collected and the ability to have a webform link for unlimited clients to access and sign at any time, all under a flat rate fee

Room for improvement
  • it's not been very easy to use for us or for clients
  • It feels very clunky and outdated
  • The customer service is awful
  • I've literally had one of their managers yell at me
  • When there was an issue with our account, they duplicated our account and charged for both for several months
  • When trying to address that and get a refund, their answer was to shut down the account that had ALL of our signed forms in it then refuse to refund anything more than giving the next 3 months at no charge AND we had to set up an entirely new account after being yelled at
Why they chose it

"flat rate, more affordable price for unlimited webform submissions."

Adobe Acrobat - easy to use and great for remote work

I have been using Adobe Acrobat at different companies for several years. I generally use it to create documents. It has made producing monthly payapps much easier. Adobe Acrobat allows me to work remotely.

What they liked
  • It's the standard and most accepted form for
  • pdf's across multiple platforms
  • Once learned it's easy to navigate and use
Room for improvement
  • Updates
  • Definitely like the updates the least
  • The updates generally take some getting used to especially when they change the layout format or move buttons

Forms and Files Made Easy!

It has been great, it saves us all a lot of time to be able to use the functionality to seamlessly fill out PDF's and give signatures. Working on different schedules and in different places, this really bridges the gap and lets us all work together to get things signed and submitted.

What they liked
  • Forms and files made easy
  • With Adobe Acrobat it is so easy to fill out the many, many forms we have to complete
  • From Grant applications to government forms having this service brings peace of mind
Room for improvement

No issues so far, the functionality has worked great for us across the board in every department of our company

Adobe As My Go To Software For Years

Renewables & Environment

What they liked

It makes it safer to share encrypted files via PDF or use the online signature function for documents

Room for improvement
  • When I change the format from pdf
  • to Word doc
  • it looses its format
  • Also mostly cannot really edit files without paying for the subscription
