Good overall" — 5.0/5 > **Roger** | *3 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is reliable and easy to use for opening and reading PDF files. It works well across devices and is very stable. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features are locked behind the paid version, and sometimes the app feels a bit heavy or slow. > > Overall, my experience has been good. It is a solid tool for viewing and basic interaction with PDFs, even if it has some limitations. ----- ### "Adobe is the gold standard...just the best\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 August 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes me feel more confident using a big name brand like Adobe. It has all the features that I need. > > **Cons**: It is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to work Adobe, but once I got used to it everything was working great for me. > > I use it often for my proofreading work and enjoy how easy it is to use. It's great having a paid version where everything functions well. ----- ### "Adobe as a Daily Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 January 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s hard not to use it still today. I find it very useful as a tool that digitizes documentation, and allows me to access important documents anytime. > > **Cons**: I guess that some functionalities are only available if you have a paid subscription, but then you only find out at the end. ----- ### "Best in class product with many flaws" — 3.0/5 > **Billy** | *6 August 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Acrobat is still the safest bet if you live in PDFs. Creation, OCR, form-filling, redaction, commenting, compare, and e-sign are all first-rate and reliably preserve formatting where lighter tools stumble. It’s also great for accessibility checks and batch tasks, and for converting and combining files. > > **Cons**: the subscription isn’t cheap, the app can feel heavy and slow to launch on modest machines, and the interface can be cluttered, with tools moving around after updates. The insistence on sign-ins/upsells and the Reader vs. Acrobat vs. web flow can be confusing. > > Acrobat remains the gold standard for serious PDF work and is worth it if you edit, secure, or sign documents regularly. If you mostly just read PDFs, use something like ilovepdf. ----- ### "Acrobat reader for your document needs." — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *18 November 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe acrobat reader helps me keep my medical forms accessible and editable for customizing to our patients. > > **Cons**: The only down side is when certain documents are not compatible and I can not open in acrobat. Other than that Acrobat is our go to for all our document needs. > > My overall experience with Acrobat reader has been positive. Being able to share, send and create documents all across from my own team to other practices has been essential in effective networking and communications. ----- Page: 1 / 422\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/170833/acrobat-reader-dc?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/170833/acrobat-reader-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
