Researcher Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good option for PDFs management" October 19, 2025 4.0 My overall experience with Adobe Acrobat Reader has been very good. The free version has some limitations, but remains the go-to choice for reliable PDF viewing and annotation. Pros Ease of use for viewing, annotating, and organising PDF documents. The highlighting, commenting, and note-taking tools are excellent for reviewing research papers and academic materials. Good for digital signatures. Cons Some important tools require a paid subscription (PDF editing, conversion, or combining files). The software can also feel heavy at times, especially when opening large PDFs.

June 8, 2025 5.0 Ive used this product for over 10 years for business and cannot think of a better product to utilize. Pros I love being able to edit pdfs easily and convert documents as needed. The tools are also helpful when creating updates on already printed documents. Cons It crashes quite a bit and needs to restarted all the time. It also does not automatically save items which can be a pain. Review Source CR Cindy R.

It tends to act like malware in my computer at this point. But I am in need of the application. Pros I like how customizable you can make this product. You can dissect almost anything from any page and edit it, Cons How glitchy and laggy it can be. It tends to be finicky and have bug like tendancies when you try to save or quit certain pages.

There are some minor glitches with the Mac version of Adobe Pro. Pros Easy to use and is the standard for reading documents Cons Adobes software is very proprietary and does not have really any viable alternatives. Review Source Miranda R.

Anytime a platform is needed to open and process documents this is my go to! Pros I like the ability to have this one on my devices. When a professional document needs a platform to open this is my go to! Cons One downfall is the lack of connectivity from one account to another. It is not a big hassle, but it is slightly inconvenient. Review Source AJ Amber J. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe is the best PDF Editor" March 20, 2025 4.0 The possibilities are endless with Adobe. After using Adobe Acrobat for about 4 years now, I will never attempt to edit a document on my own again. I can do most anything with my Adobe app. Pros Adobe is the perfect program for editing documents. I often need to change PDF's to fit our specific contracts/jobs. Some of the functions I personally love about Adobe include being able to delete unwanted pages, combining necessary documents, and adding comments. This is just a fraction of what Adobe Acrobat can do. Cons Every once in awhile you will come across a PDF that is giving you trouble when trying to edit it. I think it has more to do with the origin of those specific PDF's Review Source EK Ephrem K. Communication Officer Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Avis Adobe Acrobat Reader" May 25, 2025 5.0 J’utilise Adobe Acrobat Reader surtout pour lire et annoter des fichiers PDF.

Pros COMPATIBILITÉ TOTALE AVEC TOUS LES PDF, AJOUT FACILE DE COMMENTAIRES ET SURLIGNAGES, ET UNE RECHERCHE RAPIDE DANS LES DOCUMENTS. L’APPLICATION EST LÉGÈRE ET SE LANCE VITE. Cons LES OPTIONS DE MODIFICATION OU DE CRÉATION SONT ABSENTES EN VERSION GRATUITE, IL FAUT PASSER À ACROBAT PRO POUR ÇA. PARFOIS, CERTAINES MISES À JOUR PEUVENT RALENTIR TEMPORAIREMENT LE LOGICIEL.

Pros \- Il est possible de lire, surligner ou annoter les pdf - La mise en page reste la même sur tous les systèmes d'exploitation vu que le logiciel est compatible avec n'importe quel système d'exploitation - On peut également convertir des fichiers pdf vers word ou powerpoint Cons Le point négatif d'Adobe acrobat reader est le fait qu'il soit un peu lourd et il met donc du temps à se lancer.

Financial Operations Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Necessary for reviewing and marking up documents." May 3, 2025 4.0 It has sped up document handling and reduced back and forth for approvals and revisions. Pros Adobe Acrobat Reader is no fuss when reviewing contracts, invoices and your company’s internal financial filings. I like being able to annotate and sign forms electronically without requiring special software. Cons Some of the more advanced features such as editing on an advanced level are only available if you upgrade to a paid version, which can be a bit frustrating when all you want to do is quick edits.

And it does exactly what the name implies - it opens pdf files so you can read them. Cons I wish simple editing was available for free - like combining multiple PDF files into one. It seems silly to hide that feature behind a paywall, especially since there are so many free sites available. Review Source AV Alexandra V.

Pros I use Adobe daily to create and complete documents, from extending promotion letters to creating infographics for my company. It has a range of features that makes it easy to complete just about any project. Cons Adobe does have subscription based features. It would be nice to have more features included in the free product to reduce the need for more licenses. Review Source MG Marcos G.

Pros Ease of use, access to view my files and access business documents & do electronic signature fields. Very easy to read and adjust as needed. Cons The only con I can think of at the moment is when faxing paperwork over to other companies we work with, as they don't get the displayed document but a Please wait message, other than that it's been great.
