We use Acrobat and DC Reader to edit PDFs. > > **Cons**: Currently, I don't like the feature that turns all my photos into PDFs when I download, so that I have to export them into images. > > Adobe Acrobat has been a reliable program to use when reading PDFs and managing large amounts of information for publication and sharing. ----- ### "Adobe Acrobat \> Microsoft Word" — 5.0/5 > **Henry** | *09 April 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use it to sign digital documents, and to request e-signatures. Before using Acrobat, I would print out a document, sign it by hand, scan it, and then email it off. > > **Cons**: I've encountered some performance issues, such as difficulty loading large files (particularly files with lots of images). > > In my experience, most people use Adobe Acrobat simply to view PDF documents. But you can actually do SO much more on it\! My clients and I use it daily for sending and receiving feedback, particularly utilizing the 'Comments' feature where we can @mention each other. Acrobat also provides several text editing features, including changing fonts, text color, kerning, adding bullet points and more. ----- ### "Good product for the price. Easy to convert documents into PDF's." — 3.0/5 > **Dominica** | *20 November 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to edit files, sign documents and highlight important items on a document. Also, the ability to easily create PDF's from a word or excel document. > > **Cons**: It sometimes crashes. I get errors that too many people are using it when I am the only one using the software at the time. I am usually able to get back right into the document. I will work with support next time this happens. Probably is an easy fix. It does not stop me from working it's just a little annoying having to reopen a document. > > Overall, it is good. We rely heavily on Adobe Acrobat. All our change orders, purchase orders and contracts are all sent out using Adobe Acrobat. ----- ### "The only PDF reader/editor you should be using" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *06 February 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Allows us to read PDFs but also gives us the option to edit them. When handling order management there are a lot of customer prompted paperwork that we need to fill out /edit; Acrobat allows us full customization. > > **Cons**: The resources it takes to run are a bit high. It does not function as quickly as I would like sometimes. However I have not found anything that works as well when it comes to editing a pdf. > > We process a lot of PDFs daily - whether out of country customers send us BOLS or customs documentation or if we need to send proof of delivery on some shipments. Acrobat allows us to load in a created PDF and add lines of text. Also - we use Acrobat when we have a file that is a number of pages and we need to add something in the middle. The organize and edit pages feature allows us to quickly add a file in and save it to the full PDF. ----- Page: 1 / 169\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1012240/adobe-acrobat-dc?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
