What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat?

I like that it is relatively easy to start up the software, and that the basic features of zooming and panning operate smoothly even within PDF's with heavy vector graphics. It also very easy to modify PDFs in terms of adding or subtracting pages from the PDF or combining multiple PDFs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

I think that the software is very cumbersome to use especially for providing comments to the PDFs. The process is computationally intensive and slow to even open up the commenting panels, and then the tools themselves are not user friendly. For example, it is frustrating to try to drag or move a comment bubble. For manipulation and commenting of PDF documents, there is much better software such as Bluebeam Revu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe Acrobat:

For light modifications of PDFs, Acrobat is worth a consideration for purchase, yet it is very limited in its capabilities to help you graphically edit PDF documents. For heavy duty use and commenting, other software would be recommended. In the architecture industry for example, Bluebeam Revu would be a much better alternative and completely make up for Acrobat's limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Acrobat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Acrobat to open and rearrange the page order of large drawing sets or to combine multiple files. Primarily Acrobat has been useful in this manner from the production side. Acrobat has also been helpful in providing full screen presentations to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat?

There's an annoying thing that happens when I'm adding text fields to a fillable form.
