"AI Assistant Makes Chatting With PDFs and One-Click Summaries Effortless"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

The New AI Assistant has been a game-changer for me. I can chat with my PDFs and ask questions, and the one-click summaries make it easy to generate summaries or even draft emails based on the document content without leaving the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

There is nothing much to dislike about adobe acrobat. However If you sign up for a "monthly" plan that is actually an "annual plan paid monthly," they often charge a 50% remaining-contract fee if you try to cancel early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Tool for Image Markups, Screenshots, and Floor Plan Annotations"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

I like that it’s very easy to use and helps me mark up the images I need to annotate. It’s been helpful because I use it to draw on images, circle items, and add graphics to floor plans or to customer quotes. It’s also useful for taking screenshots and removing key elements, like images I want to modify for graphics or web design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

When I first started using it, I didn’t find it very intuitive to figure out where certain functions were located. I know now that basic things like editing text or viewing image layers are easy to find, but in the beginning it took some trial and error, plus reading the help docs and doing a few searches, to get the answers I needed. Also, with certain documents, when I try to change the view or edit, there can be too many layers and it ends up locking up my computer. I’ve found that simply changing the view lets me re-orient the image without causing my PC to freeze when the layers start going all wacky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Beautiful UI with Powerful Sharing and AI Summaries in Acrobat by Bobby"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Structured view for the data and formatted to be presented for any documentation. The data is able to share for the others to review. The Acrobat reader allows us to open the pdf formatted documents to be esigned and shared as a quickest means. The new AI features in acrobat allows to summarize the documentation in case if we need a quick overview.

It's easy to be integrated for the documents to open in acrobat. The UI/ UX is good and beautifully presentable. The documents are able to open faster relying on the performance enhancements by the Acrobat.

The new pricing is affordable in case if we need any documents be edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The only drawback these days while using the Acrobat is with the buy option which pops in multiple times unlike the prior days where it was ok in using the reader for viewing as free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One PDF Tool with a Simple UI and Seamless Cross-Device Access"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

I mainly use the software for PDFs, and I have found it extremely useful. It's a one-solution-for-all product that lets me manage, create highlights, convert, and perform other tasks, which saves time and works well. The user interface is really simple, and this makes navigation easy. I have used other readers as well and have found them to have poor navigation, which affects the overall quality. I can edit the PDF well, and it allows me to e-sign, which is quite important for contracts and invoices. It works smoothly across desktop, mobile, and cloud, so I can access files anywhere. Also, I recently used a new AI feature that gives me quick summaries, saving time. Another good aspect is the onboarding. As software, it is very simple to get started with. There are not many technical or complex steps that can throw off someone who is not tech-savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

This is a bit hard to pinpoint. But if there is something to be pointed then one is the pricing. While this is not too much for beginners, it can be a breaking point at times. Also, there should be some simpler features. Like the drag and drop or real-time working with team as in Docs, these can be good addition. Alsom these are the features that people actually need to save time. If those are in pro, these basic features need to be there in the primary model as well.

"User-Friendly PDF Editing with Powerful Security and Digitization Features"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat was a useful PDF editing software for my day to day work deliverables, not only for turning around official work documents quickly, but also for editing my personal PDF files. I found the software interface really user-friendly and easy for new users to get started with.

The editing capabilities Adobe Acrobat provides for PDFs are exactly what professionals like myself would need to get documents edited and sent out quickly. It allowed me to edit text, graphics, and images, and it also made it easy to add my official signature to work documents. I also used the redact feature very often when sharing highly confidential documents, which was a super useful option in my opinion.

Another helpful feature that I used very often was the Scan & OCR which worked very accurately and helped digitize paper documents in a short amount of time, saving on manual digitization effort.

Finally, the security features—like being able to password-protect documents and sign them digitally—were very helpful while sending out documents to clients in official settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

While working with larger PDF files, I’ve noticed that Adobe sometimes lagged and took a long time to process the document, which was frustrating. It also crashed a few times when I was dealing with bigger files, which isn’t ideal—especially when I was on a time crunch to meet tight deadlines.

I also feel that the subscription cost of Adobe Acrobat can be quite expensive for many users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use PDF tool that saves me a lot of time"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat is very convenient for working with PDF files. It lets me quickly access, organize, and manage my PDF documents without any hassle. Features like viewing, sharing, and filling out forms are especially helpful. I often use it to open documents, make small edits, and sign files when needed, which saves me a lot of time. The performance feels smooth, and the layout makes it easy to find what I’m looking for. Overall, it makes handling documents faster and keeps everything more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

One downside is that many useful editing features require a subscription. It can also take a while to load larger PDF files, and on lower-end systems the application can feel a bit heavy at times. The user interface may be slightly confusing for new users at first, so there can be a small learning curve. Overall, though, it works well for basic PDF viewing and sharing.

"Excellent quality engineering documents and contracts, but definitely overpriced."
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

The functionality of PDF editing that retains the original formatting of the document is what I value the most. When I work with my team on complex API documents, using the commenting and reviewing tools on exported architecture diagrams, the commenting and highlighting tools are exceptionally accurate. Being able to search the older requirements and being able to access the app from different devices is really convenient, due to being able to access the app on my tablet. When I am far away from my computer, I can examine my code audit documents. I have a lot of confidence in my document security, like password protection and redaction, when I deal with sensitive NDAs or documents. I am confident when using STP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

That higher subscription pricing is a difficult consideration when deciding to purchase this product. Luckily, basic viewing is going to be cheaper on other platforms. The product performs well, as long as you're not doing something extreme. The application can, and does, lag and stutter when I am using the application to open a large file. The product also has a large and complicated database schema with a lot of graphics. Some advanced features, such as the complex redaction features and security certificates, also require quite a lot of skill and have a higher degree of difficulty. The product’s lack of interactivity is obvious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Reliable Acrobat with a Simple Interface and Helpful AI Summaries"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Acrobat has been very helpful to me since 2006, it is widely available for almost all the OS - be it 32 or 64 bit. The option available are very helpful and the best part is the software is very fast to and reliable.

It's interface is very simple yet very appealing till date. You open as many as possible documents and work together with no issue.

In my knowledge I have had many readers in experience, but none was such super fine. Moreover, it can share meta data as well about the files I have opened and the pricing according to me is very much on point.

Adding to it is the ease in installation of the same software/application, you can easily install it and get start to work in very minimal time. And if gets any issue you can easily reinstall and get back at the same place where it all started to happen.

Lastly, I am really enjoying the AI feature offered. It helps me to near perfection as I was able to understand and extract the pinpoints of a 1200 page in no more than mins. Its summaries very well and can even get to the exact same point where the entire meaning changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

Till date I am not sure and have never heard from anyone on Acrobat Reader's integration options. Also, never have received any insights or you can say hidden features available which can overall impact it's productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Daily Driver for Merging Files and Eliminating Paperwork"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

I love how it handles 'Organize Pages.' I’m constantly having to merge spreadsheets, Word docs, and photos into a single pitch deck for clients. Being able to drag and drop pages, rotate them, and delete fluff without leaving the app is a massive time-saver. Plus, the 'Fill & Sign' feature has basically made my physical scanner obsolete; I can get a contract signed and sent back in under two minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The subscription cost is definitely on the higher side, especially for smaller teams or freelancers. The app can also be a bit of a “resource hog” on my computer if I have a large PDF open (50+ pages), I notice my laptop fans kick in and other apps may slow down a bit.

"Easy-to-Use PDF Viewer & Editor with One-Tap Signatures"
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Top most used any device PDF viewer and editor, can add signatures in 1 tap. User interface is easy to access.

I haven't used any integrations yet part yet but there are other integrations available. Integrations are not the key part here. Integration was smooth.

Performance is smooth and would be better if it doesn't keep asking for premium plan subscription.

Support and onboarding is slightly but pushy to buy a plan.

AI Bot works fine but is available for paid plans only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

Too pushy on the UI UX where it asks to upgrade for paid plan every time.

Integrations are not too good or useful however, works fine.

Performance is well not the best I expect. Pricing is expensive for a person like me who don't only work on Adobe acrobat. Support is only available Sunday 4:30pm–Friday 5:30pm PT. No 24 by 7. AI is fine but not the best model yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
