Previously one would have to go to free online sites to get those functions. The free Chrome extension is extremely useful and seems to offer many more functions like Rotate, Merge, Edit, Reorder pages, etc. The basic downloadable program is good for viewing, printing and signing PDFs. PDF Reader is a free Adobe program that appears to have improved and added many new features in the past couple of years.

I'd recommend it as a good place to start for someone looking for a simple, useful PDF tool. The Chrome extension has many useful features which satisfy most of my PDF needs, especially merging, rotating, signing, etc. If they don't have the upgraded version they are unable to add their information because it looks like they are 'editing' the document instead of completing the form.Ĭomments: Adobe Acrobat Reader is extremely useful for me. I'm talking about forms that I need patients to complete. I know that counteracts what I mentioned in my pros but I am not talking about documents I send out. I feel like that is a general feature that should be included for free. I didn't like how you had to upgrade to be able to edit a PDF. I also really like the formatting features Adobe has to offer. & it is very visible where they put the notes. When using Adobe, if I need any corrections, that person can add a note to what they want to add/correct but they can not alter my document. With Microsoft Word, anyone could change my document without me even knowing. The feature that is most impactful would have to be the fact that nobody can edit my document when I send the final draft out. 10/10 would highly recommend for both work and personal use. I have not worked for one office that did not use Adobe and/or receive a document that was a Adobe PDF.

I feel like it protects your content and you are able to share documents in a safe manor. Compared to other software's such as Foxit, Adobe is very easy to manage and create materials. I am a firm supporter of this software for many reasons. Comments: I have been using Adobe since I have been in high school.
