What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Acrobat Reader is a good app for PDF files, having a good user-friendly interface that makes reading and viewing easy.

It is easily compatible with computers so that one can apply these useful functions without any difficulties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Although it performs well for PDF viewing, Acrobat Reader does have problems performing well with larger files. No matter how slowly I scroll or load a large text document, it every time appears unresponsive for some few seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am currently using Acrobat Reader as my default software when it comes to PDFs since it offers a better experience than other softwares and it allows for annotation that is very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Acrobat Reader?

The best thing I love in Adobe Acrobat is PDF editing and compiling PDF forms for further text processing.

It is very attractive for the simplicity of the interface and its accessibility. Attractive design, quite a lot of functions and user-oriented, which allows it to work comfortably.

It ought to be remarked the ability of the program to work with complex files of a large size, also unique functions that make the work easier and more original. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Acrobat Reader?

I would like to refine the interface of the program in which there are definite lacks, more precisely, these are windows for definite program functions that can not be moved and expanded.

Also a very important feature that cares me personally when you copying the PDF forms it is no unique name of this forms. Then you need to rename a large number of fores long. Otherwise, the text in the created form is repeated in all the copied forms.

Also what I would like to refine, it`s put windows with functions into a separate panel that made it also moveable and conveniently disposed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe Acrobat Reader:

I highly recommend this program since it is one of the best programs in PDF editing and i think the best. Set of features and ease of use will help you in your successful work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This program helped me to create complex files and lists that are easy to edit without using complex graphics programs. Thanks to Adobe Acrobat, these files can be permanently edited on a tablet, smartphone or computer using simple PDF editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
