It works well and is way cheaper than DocuSign

Reviewed on 2024-05-08

Pros

Uploading documents and creating templates are really easy. I haven't explored any kind of automation yet, but I've got an online form I can have anyone complete, I can set passwords when sending out documents, I can have my brand on things (it's always co-branded with Adobe), I get email confirmations when I send documents and when something is signed, the audit trail comes with the document in the email I receive after signing, and in general it's pretty easy to set up and use.

Cons

There's an 'old version' of how documents are read and edited, and a 'new' version. Sometimes it'll automatically open a document to be edited in the old version, so you essentially need to learn two different layouts for editing documents. The support when I was trying to subscribe were clearly non native English speakers and it was a bit of a pain, but all good once set up.

Alternatives Considered

Docusign

Reasons for Choosing Adobe Acrobat

I work in financial services, and more financial services providers accept Adobe Acrobat Sign than SignNow, so I'm paying more but saving headaches of digitally signeddocuments being rejected.

Reasons for Switching to Adobe Acrobat

Docusign is way more expensive, and I couldn't justify the cost for any kind of additional benefit.

Acrobat is my power tool for document assembly and publishing. It is my standard format for all important documents for distribution and storage. I can secure the files with passwords, encryption, and server based tools. Nearly everything you want to do to a PDF that was generated with Acrobat \ Distiller is possible with just a click, other converters may have less editability. However, it feels a bloated over the years and it is slow to load and the tools are not all unified from all the company acquisitions.

Pros

Fully featured, new ribbon toolbar, full document editing and vector support, export PDF objects with roundtrip to Photoshop and Illustrator, using Pro version allows extending of editing to standard PDF users, signatures saved in Adobe Cloud, OCR is accurate and has small file sizes

Cons

Very unstable, crashes a few times a week losing all changes, ongoing subscription fees are not reasonable when the features i use don't change, cannot open PDFs with Acrobat Standard without logging in to Adobe Creative Cloud which then requires an active subscription. I use two laptops and a PC each day, the license only allows two devices which is frustrating to log in and out constantly.

Being able to use Adobe Acrobat versus other PDF products makes my work flow so much easier!

Pros

Adobe Acrobat is easy to navigate and has so many nice features. There are times when a PDF has 2 pages but only a couple of sentences on the second page. I love that the text can be resized in order to those last sentences jump to the first page and create a 1 page PDF rather than having 2 pages or having to print on both front and back.

Cons

I don't really have any complaints about the software.

There’s a pretty big difference between paid and free, and it is more of a gateway product. Once you start getting frustrated with its limits, you tend to need to more to another tool. However, it does have more options than most standard pdf editors.

Pros

I would definitely say Adobe is the original standard for a PDF editor and signature tool. It’s powerful and can do a variety of tasks, including simple edits that prevent you from needing another solution. It’s less commonly used as a signature tool in my experience but for those smaller companies, it could be nice to avoid multiple softwares.

Cons

It feels overly expensive if purchasing solo and not as part of the cloud. I have ended up using other more cloud-based online services to save money on the monthly cost. It is also finicky to do some editing (i.e. it’s less good at formatting) better for filling in, removing pages, and signatures. You run into major limits unless you pay, and it’s annoying to use the free version once you’re used the full version.

I am happy with Adobe Acrobat and how it enhances PDF files into a more presentable and organized file as a by-product of the overall feature of the software.

Pros

I like Adobe Acrobat because of simplicity and how easy you can access it. It has features that makes this software rise about the rest of its competition. This product is user-friendly and has arrays of features that would make a more usable and concise PDF file.

Cons

The thing that I like the least about Adobe Acrobat is the minimal development and changes to its features as repeats of the same commands are still there even through a number of updates and newer versions that has come out into the market.

overall adobe tools are widely used and is worth having , there are also some applications that are free and is only available at the click of a button .

Pros

I like adobe because it provides a number of applications that are widely used by various stake holders. it caters for those who are creative or wants to be creative .I like the fact that they regularly review and update their products from time to time making it more interesting to use. i also like how integrated the products are allowing users to be able to import files from one application to another ..they also offer strong support to users making trouble shooting easier.

Cons

i find adobe to be very expensive , i have a subscription of $77, every two weeks making it quite a task for me to honor each time . as a result my subscription has been discontinued. i also find that some application is ver complicated hence making it time consuming when using.
