Comments and Reviews
Adobe Acrobat DC is an impressive tool for managing PDF documents. It offers seamless integration with cloud storage, allowing easy access to files across devices. The intuitive interface and powerful editing capabilities make it simple to modify, annotate, and sign documents. Although the subscription model may deter some users, the robust feature set and cross-platform compatibility make Acrobat DC an invaluable resource for professionals and casual users alike.
I just saw the current pricing for Acrobat DC, and I'm not even sure if Adobe are just pulling our legs at this point. They're asking $30/mt. for the full package. Given the generally abysmal quality of the software, that might be somewhat justifiable for a lifetime license. But a monthly recurring fee? They have to be kidding. Acrobat is outclassed and outperformed by pretty much every third-party offering out there, and I don't think any of them exceed $200 for a one-time payment (excluding major upgrades, of course). You'll have spent more than that on Acrobat after half a year, and in return you'll get to deal with the many bugs, poor rendering performance, faulty printing integration, and Adobe's ironic inability to properly support their own document format. The number of PDF compatibility issues I see whenever I use Acrobat DC at work, is very amazing compared to the relative robustness of third-party tools.
I agree with removed user the pricing model is terrible. but its 15$. I found no bugs but interface turned out not great
After 10 years with Acrobat, I completely agree, although I'm newly exploring the paid alternatives at work. (I use a constellation of FLOSS alternatives at home.) I'm happy to hear there's a well-developed third-party ecosystem.
they will spend the resources to keep their activation servers up just so they can block you from activating the perpetual licenses you already paid for. but they will not implement the tools for their own staff to manually deactivate licenses when normal methods fail. save your money and invest in vendors with some dignity like foxit or bluebeam.
Acrobat does what it says on the tin, but neither well nor smoothly (-1 star). Full of AI at the cost of solid development. I've used as an attorney for almost a decade and each successive version has given me more grief (-1 star). This is unacceptable given even the yearly cost (-1 star). I'm exploring other options and I'm pleased to learn that comprehensive alternatives have come a long way in the last few years.
Getting worse and worse. Just for an example of how much they try to lock you in now, default options to save are their cloud and last 5 save locations. So happy after years and years of being stuck finally managed to migrate away and my annual billing ending in few months is last money Adobe will see from me.
Slightly worse results than

Sometimes online Adobe Acrobat will convert much better than 7-Zip. Sometime online Adobe Acrobat will convert slightly worse than 7-Zip.
You should definitely try your compressor after Adobe Acrobat.
Definitely not the best tool as advertised, but a good tool.

As an PDF-editor - no problems 5 stars. As a PDF viewer - terrible staff. It just all the time try to stretch the document on full screen. Which makes it impossible to read.
