It works well and is way cheaper than DocuSign

Reviewed on 8/05/2024

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.

As much as I love how many things I can do with Adobe, I prefer them to just stick to being great at reading and building pdfs instead of trying to patch any problems with their side features.

Pros

I love how many things you can do with it. It's just just a PDF reader/builder. You can use it to edit pdfs, send contracts, create interactive forms, and to merge documents.

Cons

I don't like how some fonts look distorted in the PDF view, especially if they're very common. It struggles with Open Sans, Inter, Helvetica, or any thin font or thick font. I also don't like how it automatically zooms into a document to the point where you need to unzoom it everytime you open a document. I think it should be 100% at default.

Overall a terrible experience. The web browser one works better believe it or not

Pros

I don't know if it's just my computer being a 2015 older model, but this program is absolutely awful on my computer. Which is weird because all of the other Adobe programs run fairly well on it.

Cons

I don't like that it takes forever to load and half of the time the features I need to use don't work or load.

I had to enlist a 3rd party consultant to walk me though the different subscription plans that would best suit my company. Adobe support reps just tried to sell me the costliest enterprise package with unnecessary features.

Pros

Cons

Nothing. Adobes subscription plans are a headache to navigate, but the applications are great.

My experience with Adobe Acrobat is likely to be a combination of positive aspects that enhance my productivity and efficiency, along with any challenges or frustrations that arise from using the software. Like any tool, Adobe Acrobat has its strengths and weaknesses, and my experience may vary depending on my individual preferences and requirements.

Pros

Adobe Acrobat is valued for its versatility, user-friendly interface, document security, integration capabilities, accessibility features, cross-platform compatibility, and ongoing support, making it a preferred choice for individuals and organizations for managing PDF documents effectively.

Cons

It's important to note that experiences and opinions about software can vary widely among users, and what one user perceives as a drawback may not be as significant for another. Adobe Acrobat continues to be a widely used and respected tool for PDF management and editing, despite these potential limitations.

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.
