What users like the most

  • Though it takes some time to start in the first place, it can open both large and small files at ease, I can easily operate it not like other pdf readers. Zoom feature is user-friendly and it’s too easy for me to operate. Text editing is another thing I often use to edit my documents. In large file, page rotation is taking very low time in acrobat reader, I mean I can do this in no time.

What users like the least

  • Waiting-part! When I open a small or large file it takes too much time to open, they need to make it quick. When I work for too long sometimes it crushes also

I have been using several pdf readers for a couple of years, when it comes to open a large file I never have seen any other option then adobe acrobat reader. At first, it takes time to open, it’s not an ideal part for me, but when it runs I can not complain about its service. The interface of this software is user friendly, I can find every in my hand when I use it. In the past, when I work for too long, I forgot to save my works, sometimes software crashes. So my advice to save your work-time to time, unless you may lose some of your work.

We Rank Secure use Acrobat DC at least weekly. The primary way we use it is for PDF conversion and editing. The other main reason I use it is to fill out and sign PDF forms. We've started using it over the past six months. It is easy to use and highly functional. However, it's complicated to download.

We Diggity Marketing use Acrobat DC. I deal with a lot of data and design requirements because I work in the marketing field. As an artist, I must share my work with customers and potential customers quickly and efficiently. I've used Acrobat Reader DC for a long time and like how Adobe included useful features. I enjoy viewing, modifying, producing, and signing documents thanks to Acrobat DC. Additionally, you may merge PDF files into a single or several PDF files with Acrobat Reader DC. You may exchange papers for evaluation and export them to Word. Form filling and signatures are simple. The protect option, which you can set to the amount of protection you desire for your document, allows you to share it without worrying about identity or property theft, which is more vital.

We Nova Home Buyers LLC use Acrobat DC. I need Acrobat DC for a variety of daily tasks. It could be more user-friendly and less clunky regarding some features. Acrobat DC helps me to quickly and easily create documents that showcase properties. The ability to edit PDF documents is its most prominent strong point and makes it tremendously useful. I bought the software a year ago so I could edit PDFs.

We Precondo use Acrobat DC. It has has cemented its place on my computer. We must create and edit PDFs daily to communicate our plans with our employees. PDFs are notorious for being uneditable and hard to deal with. But, thanks to Acrobat DC, that is a past problem. It has the features we need. It's a little expensive, but we don't mind that in turn for its ease. Although very rare, the software is prone to crashing.
