### "Not worth the money "

October 15, 2025

4.0

The programme is straightforward to use and works with an array of file types but its way too expensive.

Pros

Adobe is a trusted name so I tend to gravitate to Acrobat Reader for any PDF management tasks I need to do and its reliable and straightforward to use, particularly for converting or signing files.

Cons

It's so expensive, the free version is incredibly limited, and it has performance issues if you're working with a large or complex document so it doesn't seem worth the price tag.

### "Very professional and useful service"

July 17, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Adobe Acrobat Reader is very good. I use it whenever I am editing PDF files. Especially contracts

Pros

There is a lot to like about Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can do just about anything with a file, especially PDF files. Add, organize, edit, etc.

Cons

What I like least about Adobe Acrobat Reader is the limited functions of the FREE version. The paid version is very good though.

### "Flexible and easy software to deal with "

January 13, 2025

5.0

I believe that Acrobat Reader is the most versatile and user-friendly tool for handling PDFs. Before using it, I often encountered issues working with PDF files. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easier and more efficient way to manage online documentation.

Pros

I really appreciate the possibilities of things i can do with the software. It is possible to do literally everything with the PDF files, from compress to change the font and papers. I have in my work and personal computer and also in my ipad for urgent scenarios and it always has being helpful. Also, the layout it is very intuitive and I automatically understand were to go to do things i want to.

Cons

Not really a specific thing, so far the software has correspond to all of my expectations.

### "READER REVIEW"

July 14, 2025

4.0

Pros

BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOCUMENTS EASILY IS THE NUMBER ONE THING ON THE LIST! READER MAKES IT EASY TO OPEN AND READ DOCUMENTS, SENDING THEM IS A BREEZE. IT IS A GREAT SOFTWARE.

Cons

SOMETIMES THE READER WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO OPEN CERTAIN DOCUMENTS, THIS IS FRUSTRATING. IT IS ALWAYS BASICALLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DOCUMENTS, ITS ZIPPED, IT JUST WONT OPEN, AND THEN I TRY THE NEXT DAY AND IT OPENS FINE.

Pros

I use Adobe Acrobat Reader for editing, signing, filling out, and annotating contracts, powerpoints, BEOs, invoices, you name it!

Cons

My biggest complaint with Adobe Acrobat is the interface is not very user friendly. Oftentimes I have to dig to find the functionality I'm looking for.

### "Acrobat Reader is fast"

May 1, 2025

4.0

Pros

I love how Acrobat Reader allows read my PDF documents. You can easily highlight or comment parts, ideal for collaboration

Cons

I don’t like the ads that pollute my use; for a company like Adobe, this software could be free without watching ads each time, which are very intrusive

### "Best pdf and e-signature software"

January 13, 2025

5.0

Pros

My favourite use of adobe acrobat is the ability to send out agreements for e-signature without having to sign into another software. Tracking, reminders, and templates can all be managed within the one software.

Cons

There are times when the fields the software scans as available to fill are not accurate to the field type.

I have been using Adobe Acrobat Reader throughout my life (student and professional alike) and it has been a life saver.

Pros

Adobe is a life saver in every industry, from regular students to big companies. Adobe Acrobat has been there when I need saving in the PDF world.

### "Adobe Review"

December 20, 2024

4.0

Its ok for basic stuff, but isnt usable with my automation software. Especially with fillable PDF.

Pros

I like that most features are out of the box. It is very easy to use.

Cons

It would be beneficial to integrate Adobe with other automation software. Easy to use UI or API calls would be great too.

### "Vuoi leggere o stampare? Con adobe puoi farlo!"

February 24, 2025

4.0

Ottimo prodotto per chi come me usa e apre vari documenti .

Pros

Rende le cose molto facili per aprire e andare a leggere qualsiasi documento.

Cons

Ultimamente quando si condivide un documento , al posto di mandare il documento per aprirlo direttamente ,manda una url che alle volte rende difficile l'apertura o la semplice stampa

### "Acrobat reader Travando"

February 12, 2025

2.0

Era boa até eu trocar de notebook. Sempre utilizava. Ótimo. Em 2024, quando troquei o Note, infelizmente tive que parar. Ainda insisti por 6 meses, mas hoje, dia 12 de fevereiro de 2025, desisti e instalei outro leitor de PDF, infelizmente!

Pros

Sempre utilizei, a vida inteira. Mas tive que parar de usar quando comprei um Notebook acer Nitro 5 novo. Só trava. Quando parar de travar volto a utilizar

Cons

Parei de usar porque não teve uma vez que fui abrir um pdf que ele não travou. Sem condições. Atualizei e reinstalei umas 10 vezes no Windows 11 64 bits.

### "Acrobat Reader Review "

June 12, 2025

3.0

It's a pretty decent app. I just feel like premium version needs a little improvement or a reduction i price, because somethings doesn't make sense.

Pros

I love to use this application when i'm editing a paper or if i'm changing a word document to a pdf file.

Cons

What i dont like is the premium, I feel i'm paying for it just to have the most basic features, that i thinkshould've already been in the base application.

### "Acrobat est le meilleur pour l’edition de document"

May 11, 2025

5.0

Adobe Acrobat c'est clairement le meilleur quand il s'agit de lire ou modifier des PDF ou faire des PDF.

Pros

On peut signer, commenter, modifier, tout faire direct dans le fichier. Acrobat permet une meilleure édition grace à ses outils

Cons

Par contre, c'est lourd, long à ouvrir, et parfois juste pour surligner un truc t'as trois clics à faire. Ça devrait aller plus vite.

### "Fantastic but the upgrade is expensive."

January 28, 2025

5.0

I really like Acrobat Reader. On the whole, it's the best reader there is. Unfortunately, for the Pro version, it definitely is on the high end of pricing. There are cheaper alternatives but they just don't work as seamlessly.

Pros

There really is no exact substitute. There's close, but it's never the same or as good.

Cons

For the pro version, it's expensive. If you can live without some of the features, the alternatives are way cheaper.

### "Personal experience using adobe reader"

July 9, 2025

5.0

My overall experience is really good and i think it is very user friendly and really enjoy the functions of it

Pros

I really enjoy using this program because it does make reading online so much easier. The font size is not too big and just good size to read and it also allows you to continue from where you previously left

Cons

I think that maybe it would be nice to incorporate some kind of ai language dictionary, so that one could check the meaning of some words. Also, having the ability to edit text would be good
