## Reviews

### "User of Adobe Daily" — 5.0/5

> **Barbara** | *June 2, 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I most appreciate that I can convert my documents into fillable pdfs.  It helps so much to send forms fillable to new employees and employees needing to fill out their benefit forms.
> 
> **Cons**: I find it frustrating when I have saved something to an Adobe PDF and then also have to scan it for readable so I can write on it.
> 
> Overall, I appreciate the features I use most like adding stamps, organizing pages, combining documents, and preparing forms and signing them.  I love being able to mark up reports with comments and highlighting information for the receiver who needs a little more detail about certain items.

### "Fabulous Application for Editing Documents" — 5.0/5

> **Leah** | *February 27, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The versatility of the application while editing documents. A huge perk is the automated font match when editing 3rd party files, which saves an extreme amount of time.
> 
> **Cons**: I find that the application glitches, especially when you are working with multiple documents at once.
> 
> Fantastic. As a daily user, I love this application. It has made my life way easier and work output stronger.

### "Great Document Viewer" — 5.0/5

> **Tanya** | *August 21, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that it allows the ability to sign and fill documents. We get a lot of documents to sign and fill
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that you have to pay for file conversion. I wouldn't use it enough though to justify paying for the service.
> 
> Overall adobe is a perfect program for viewing documents as well as being able to  sign and fill documents.

### "Good for PDFs, but limited features. Good overall" — 5.0/5

> **Roger** | *January 3, 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.

### "Basic but functional" — 4.0/5

> **Kristin** | *June 13, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's quick and easy to download and install. And it does exactly what the name implies - it opens pdf files so you can read them.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish simple editing was available for free - like combining multiple PDF files into one. It seems silly to hide that feature behind a paywall, especially since there are so many free sites available.
