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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Adobe Acrobat – The Best PDF Editing Software" — 5.0/5 > **Neil** | *31 March 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe Acrobat is simply the best PDF editing software available, simple as. Adobe Acrobat is fast and stable and gives users the maximum flexibility when dealing with Adobe PDF files, with it's advanced editing features > > **Cons**: As a premier software product Adobe Acrobat does come at a price, but overall the functionality provided outweighs this factor for us and we are willing to pay the premium price for a premium product. > > Adobe Acrobat is the industry standard PDF editing software which we have used for over 25 years, it's simply the best and integrates well with the other Adobe software packages that we use. ----- ### "Solid - Always been the main software for PDF creation." — 3.0/5 > **Clifford** | *24 April 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Always been the main software for PDF creation. Solid and reliable for when it comes to print production of design work. > > **Cons**: Too many 'bells and whistles' (functions), which kind of get in the way of the ones I use regularly. Annual subscription needed (Adobe Creative Suite). > > As a print designer, I need Acrobat to faithfully reproduce the artwork I have created, and the fonts used in the artwork - Acrobat does all that. It's annoying I have to pay an annual subscription for it, as what I need from it is basically the same as when I first started using it 30 years ago. ----- ### "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 ----- Page: 1 / 167\ 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
