"Reliable PDF & Document Workflow Tool for Modern Teams"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Document Cloud is a robust solution for managing, editing, and sharing PDF files across devices. The seamless integration with Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Sign makes it easy to review and sign documents remotely — a major plus in today’s hybrid work environment. Cloud syncing is smooth, and the interface is user-friendly, especially for those familiar with Adobe products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Large files can sometimes take a bit longer to upload or render. The mobile app interface could be more responsive, and pricing may be a barrier for small teams or freelancers. More native integrations with third-party cloud storage providers outside Adobe’s ecosystem would be welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
