For what it does, the free version is great; but the Pro version is incredible. Split a PDF, Combine, Create (even from your clipboard), Convert from / to any file format… The interface is easy to use, with clear and unobtrusive prompts. You can add shortcuts everywhere or pin your favourites - and save / read from just about every local, mobile or cloud storage you can think of. Want a document signed? You got it. All baked in to one app. And it works on mobile as well as desktop across every platform with no issues: and I’ve never seen a bug. > > **Cons**: There is nothing really to complain about. A while back they reorganised the app to make finding tools much simpler. And recently they have introduced Acrobat Studio which cleverly introduces (actually good use of) AI to create, edit, reorganise and summarise documents. > > Adobe Acrobat is already the go-to for business in terms of viewing PDFs. However, it does so much more. Scratch the surface and you have a powerful tool at your fingertips. It is one of the first apps and programmes I install on every desktop and device. ----- ### "The best in compressing files" — 4.0/5 > **Hayden** | *19 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Acrobat made the use of sending files, documents, and mock-ups a simple task to what seemed a challenge before. The use of free tools and open documents made any visually document a roll of the dice when shared to another. The simple to use software made documents export in high quality, and became easy to navigate in a few simple steps. > > **Cons**: Adobe Acrobat does have it's own limitations, and that includes when those receiving the files don't posses the software then they aren't able to make any edits of their own too the PDF, and in some cases can't open the file themselves. Although this is understandable, it can become a boundary when working in a fast pace environment. > > I've had a very positive experience with Adobe Acrobat. It's very easy to understand, it's also been a blessing to combine PDF files instantly and quickly and has compressed files to an ideal storage amount. As a designer i have been really impressed with the quality the PDF have been exported to from a visual and a storage wary point of view. ----- ### "Software that you can trust" — 5.0/5 > **Megan** | *14 May 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The versatility of the app. I like that I can use it on my desktop and phone and get the same results. Documents open correctly first time and in the right format allowing me to highlight and copy information from PDFS when other softwares wouldn't. > > **Cons**: I find that some things I want to do require additional subscriptions which is annoying but it almost is always worth upgrading. > > A good experience. Adobe Acrobat is a software that you can trust to work every time and get the same consistent result. This is important when showing brochures and information to clients that it works correctly first time making my experience super easy and convenient. ----- ### "Good standard PDF viewer in need of a refresh" — 4.0/5 > **Will** | *21 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe Acrobat is the default PDF viewer across most Windows machines. I believe this is its greatest strength but also a weakness. It feels sometimes like a product which has continuously evolved and evolved, but that it carries with it a range of sometimes clunky and unreliable baggage. It sometimes feels like it needs to be started again from scratch, and deep-cleaning to make it lighter. Otherwise it is a great tool, with some useful add-ons for viewing and even editing PDFs. > > **Cons**: As above, there are a few things which are not as useful about Acrobat, it can sometimes freeze or feel as if it is preventing you from completing a simple task. Additionally, the experience is occasionally unreliable and the UI is changing or not very intuitive. It also lacks some inbuilt easy AI functionality. > > A good standard PDF viewer that can sometimes feel frustrating, outdated or clunky. Hopefully one day it will receive a revolutionary refresh which makes it feel light like a viewer should, empowered by AI and levelled up ----- ### "Add another level the user experience" — 5.0/5 > **Kwesi** | *8 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Adobe's creative suite, so this is my go to PDF editor. It's fast and easy to use. And as part of the suite it integrates really well with the other tools especially InDesign. It's also available to use for free with some restrictions I believe. Document signing is also a very useful feature. I had used this tool prior to getting the full suite so although some of my review is because I'm within the ecosystem I believe a lot of this is not dependent on that. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can feel a little overwhelming and the tabs and right button may take some searching but once you get past that learning curve you'll be on your way. > > The ability to add additional layers of functionality and interactivity to your pdfs is great - forms, workbooks and infographics can take on new elements with little extra work. ----- Page: 1 / 168\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1012240/adobe-acrobat-dc?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1012240/adobe-acrobat-dc) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
