"Easy-to-Use Tool for Image Markups, Screenshots, and Floor Plan Annotations"
5/5
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"
5/5
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"
4.5/5
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"
4/5
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.

"Intuitive, Reliable PDF Editing and Collaboration with Adobe Acrobat"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

What I like best about Adobe Acrobat is how easy it makes working with PDFs. I can edit documents, add comments, fill and sign forms, and convert files between different formats without losing formatting. The interface is intuitive, and the collaboration features make it simple to review and share documents with others. It's a reliable tool that saves time when handling professional documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

One downside of Adobe Acrobat is that it can feel resource-intensive, especially when working with large PDF files. Some advanced features are only available with a paid subscription, which can be expensive for individual users. The interface also has a lot of tools, so it can take some time to find less frequently used features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use PDF tool that saves me a lot of time"
4.5/5
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."
4/5
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.

"Reliable PDF Tool for Reviewing and Editing Documents"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

As a final-year engineering student, Adobe Acrobat is an indispensable tool for my daily academic workflow. I constantly use it to review complex, multi-page technical blueprints, research papers, and lab manuals. The ability to handle heavy PDF files with highly detailed schematics without lagging is a lifesaver. It completely streamlines how I manage my study materials and collaborate on group projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

While the software is extremely powerful, the premium subscription is quite heavy on a student's budget. Additionally, the desktop application occasionally takes a few extra seconds to initialize upon startup when loading heavy OCR-scanned textbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless PDF Signing, Forms, and Adobe Integration That Just Works!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

Signing, filling forms, merging files, converting things to and from PDF- it all works great and because I pay for a subscription, moving something from Acrobat to another Adobe product is seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

The App is slow to load on the online version because it is busy throwing suggestions and feature prompts at me when I just want to get in and do my work. Also, I do not like the online model as much as the desktop because the features are harder to locate amidst all of the suggestions. I don't use it enough or live in it so perhaps there is my problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential PDF Editing with Outstanding Accessibility Tools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

If I had a nickel for every PDF I've had to edit over the years, I'd be a very wealthy man. I really appreciate being able to organize pages, combine PDFs, update text, use forms and e-signatures, and take advantage of some of the security tools. However, what I value most is the accessibility checker. It's always important to me to ensure that any PDF hosted online is compliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

I don't have many complaints about the product, as it seems to be the industry standard. That said, I do find Docusign to be much more user-friendly when it comes to their e-signature feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
