"Incredible PDF Functionality That Makes Working Anywhere Easy"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

I work with a lot of government documents and I love how easy Adobe Acrobat makes it to handle documents digitally rather than having to handle them physically. This makes it possible to work anywhere rather than having to work at physical offices. The PDF functionality on Adobe Acrobat is incredible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

One thing I dislike about Adobe Acrobat is that when I try to login in through my Gmail on the application. Half the time it does not work. It says it has redirected me into my browser when it hasn't and basically does not allow me to log in. This is extremely annoying and I know its not just me because I have seen plenty of people deal with this same issue. I love using this application and just want to be able to smoothly log in.

"Adobe Acrobat: The Gold Standard for Powerful, Reliable PDF Workflows"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat remains the gold standard for PDF creation, editing, and management, offering a feature-rich platform that handles virtually any document workflow. As the original developer of the PDF format, Adobe delivers unmatched reliability and comprehensive tools that go far beyond basic PDF viewing.The software excels at complex tasks like form creation, digital signatures, redaction, OCR (optical character recognition), and document comparison. The editing capabilities are robust, allowing users to modify text, images, and page layouts with precision that rivals word processors. Collaboration features including commenting, markup tools, and shared reviews make team workflows seamless. Integration with Adobe's Creative Cloud ecosystem and common business applications is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The elephant in the room is cost. Adobe's subscription pricing model ($15-20/month for individuals, more for teams) feels steep for users who only need occasional PDF editing. Free alternatives handle basic tasks adequately, making Acrobat feel like overkill for simple needs. File sizes can also bloat compared to some competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable PDF Workflow with Enterprise-Grade Features"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat stands out for its consistency and accuracy when working with complex PDFs. The text recognition and formatting retention are excellent, even with scanned or multi-page documents. The cloud sync makes it easy to start work on one device and continue on another without file issues. The AI-powered search and summarization features are a strong addition, especially when dealing with lengthy documents and contracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The interface can feel overloaded for new users, with many advanced tools hidden behind multiple menus. Performance could be optimized for low-spec systems, as large files sometimes cause lag. More flexible pricing options or a pay-per-use model would be helpful for freelancers and occasional users who don’t need full-time access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Made PDFs Feel Editable Instead of Locked and Untouchable"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Using Adobe Acrobat changed how I handle documents. Tasks that used to feel frustrating like editing text, rearranging pages, or combining multiple files are now straightforward. I regularly use it to fill and sign forms, add comments, and export PDFs to word when edits are required. The interface feels familiar after a short time, and the tools are reliable even with large or complex documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

Some features are more powerful than they need to be for simple use cases, which can make the interface feel busy at times. The subscription cost may feel high if you only need basic PDF edits sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The only PDF tool you'll ever actually need (if you can afford it)"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Honestly, it’s just the "gold standard" for anything PDF. I use it mostly for combining lecture slides into one file and editing text on documents where I lost the original Word file. The OCR (text recognition) is a lifesaver—it can turn a blurry photo of a textbook page into actual selectable text that I can copy and paste into my notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The biggest pain is the price and how heavy the software feels. It takes a while to load up on my laptop compared to a simple browser viewer. Also, the interface can be a bit overwhelming because there are a million buttons for things I’ll probably never use, like advanced pre-press stuff. It feels like you're paying for a Ferrari when you just need to drive to the grocery store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless PDF Management with Adobe Acrobat Free Online"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

I use the free version of Adobe Acrobat online regularly to work with client documents such as contracts, invoices and PDFs I receive for review. I can open it directly in my browser and start working immediately, without any downloads or setup, which makes getting started extremely easy and seamless. This makes the implementation effortless - I didn’t need to spend time configuring anything to begin using it in my workflow.

Every day, I rely on it to open PDFs, fill out forms, add comments or highlights and sign documents before sending them back to clients. The interface is clear and simple, so even when I’m switching between multiple files, I can work efficiently without confusion. Because it’s accessible online, I can use it from different devices whenever necessary, adding flexibility to my work.

For a free version, it provides all the features I need for routine PDF tasks. Viewing, annotating, filling forms and signing files all work smoothly, which helps me complete client work quickly and without interruptions. When I’ve needed guidance, Adobe’s online help articles and resources have been clear and easy to follow, so I can quickly resolve questions and continue working.

I haven’t integrated it with any other software, but the platform is straightforward enough that connecting it in the future would likely be simple if needed, which covers the integration aspect.

Overall, Adobe Acrobat Free online fits naturally into my workflow, is easy to start using, reliable for everyday PDF tasks and provides flexible tools for managing documents efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The free online version doesn’t let me edit text, merge PDFs, or convert files to other formats, so I would need to upgrade to the Pro version for these advanced features. It would be great if some of these editing capabilities were available for free. For basic tasks like viewing, annotating and signing, though, it works perfectly.

What I appreciate most about Adobe Acrobat is that it is widely recognized as the industry standard, so I never have to be concerned about compatibility when sharing documents with clients. The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature is impressively accurate, quickly converting scanned documents into searchable and editable text. Adobe Acrobat offers a comprehensive set of tools, allowing me to manage everything from advanced document security to simple text edits, all without requiring access to the original source file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

I enjoy using the program, but I find it unnecessarily large for its intended purpose. Additionally, it consumes a significant amount of my computer's resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
