About Adobe Acrobat Reader

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a cloud-based software designed to help businesses view, sign, and annotate PDF documents from desktops, browsers, or mobile devices. Using the fill & sign tool, administrators can automatically detect multiple fields across forms, add texts, symbols, or signatures, and store them in Adobe Document Cloud for future reference.

Using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, enterprises can create customizable forms by adding various elements such as drop-down lists, barcodes, digital signature fields, list boxes, and more. Managers can utilize the drag-and-drop interface to add Adobe Sign fields in PDF documents and send completed forms to specific recipients via emails or internal servers such as SharePoint or network folders. The software also helps users integrate JavaScript language with multiple documents, enabling them to configure forms and connect it with several databases via Open Database Connection (ODBC).

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC allows businesses to edit PDF documents by highlighting, striking off, or underlining specific texts and adding comments or notes in the source file. Administrators can also convert and export PDF files in various formats including Word, Excel, or rich text format (RTF).

My overall experience with Adobe Acrobat Reader is great for a free software. I wish that some of the best features in the paid version can be integrated in the free version and allow user to gain some performance advantage while using the software's great features.

Pros

What I like most about the Adobe Acrobat Reader is its ability to open and view as many PDF files as you want. It has a number of basic and useful features that you would want from a free software. It allows users to have that capacity to organize files in its respective folders for easy referencing.

Cons

I have been using Adobe Acrobat Reader for more than 10 years now but the least that I like about the software is the confusion that it sometimes cause especially when the software is being updated. Also, the best feature of the Adobe Acrobat Reader can only be found in the full, paid version.

It has been fine. In the last 12 months I feel the desktop application has taken a step back in speed & overall bugginess has increased. It is fine for reading PDF's but I feel there are newer, faster & cheaper PDF applications out there that out perform adobe acrobat reader.

Pros

It is an established platform and it is known and used my many organisations.

Cons

It is too expensive and the desktop application is slow and many times does not function correctly.
