Best pdf and e-signature software
Reviewed on 13/01/2025
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 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.

I love the overall experience of Adobe Acrobat because it is straightforward to share, and there are many useful functions as well.
Pros
I like how we can just copy and paste the PDF link and share it with colleagues. It has many useful editing features and sometimes if I am too lazy to re-export the pdf, I can just edit the pdf itself and do minor edits.
Cons
I am pretty sure there should be an option to change the colour of the comment icon, but it is very subtle to see in my opinion. When someone leaves a comment on the pdf, I click the comment to take me to the commented area, and I find it difficult to distinguish which area I'm looking at.

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.

The default choice for PDF viewing and basic tasks
Reviewed on 3/01/2025
Pros
It is the obvious default choice for viewing and doing basic functions with PDF documents. And it is free!
Cons
The more recent versions have become a little spammy with the interface, when usually the first thing you want with a PDF is to see a clean and simple view. I think Adobe is trying a little too hard to push features most people don't want until they are ready to look for them. Also sometimes they trick you into downloading other bloatware when you get it online, if you don't uncheck that option.

Overall I found Adobe Reader to be the best available pdf reader/editor available in the market. It was secure and had a lot of features which enhanced my using experience.
Pros
I found Adobe acrobat to be the best software for accessing pdf files. It was easy to edit, read and share pdf files across multiple devices and platforms within our company
Cons
Adobe acrobat is slightly more costly than other pdf file viewers on the market but Adobe reader was by far the most complete in terms of features available in one software when compared to others.

Over all, the product works well for it's main intended uses. However, some of the expansion items (like scaling/measure tools) have started to cause issues over all and the reading/initializing of documents for said tools has slowed to a crawl over the past few months.
Pros
I like that I can combine, redact and edit .pdf files.
Cons
The measuring feature for scaleable documents was originally one of my favorites. But recently, there has been issues with the scaling tool not working correctly, thus making it more of a disappointment than an exciting feature.

Cons

Adobe Acrobat Reader's functionality, usability, and security makes it a good tool for interacting with PDF files.
Pros
One of the things I like most about Adobe Acrobat Reader is its comprehensive set of features for viewing and interacting with PDF documents.
Cons
One aspect that some users may find challenging about Adobe Acrobat Reader is its occasional tendency to consume significant system resources, especially when working with large or complex PDF files. This can lead to slower performance or occasional lag, particularly on older computers or devices with limited RAM.

It was a wonderful and beautiful experience and I still use it and will recommend it to all my friends around the world.
Pros
The program was easy and clear to use and very easy to open all files supported in PDF format and is widespread around the world. It is also easy to complete printing operations through the program without relaying speech and without showing any problems in printing.
Cons
Getting the free version costs some money, but not a lot.
It is also possible to get a little irritated when used, but overall it is somewhat better than many programs.
