Ratings and Reviews
Premium Performance with Flaws: Acrobat Pro's Strengths and Shortcomings
Adobe’s Acrobat Pro is undeniably a premium product, reflected in its $17+/month subscription fee, which many competitors attempt to undercut. However, it’s clear that Acrobat Pro remains the gold standard for PDF management. Initially, I was hesitant to subscribe, as it’s the second most expensive service I pay for (the first being ChatGPT). Yet, after using it daily—often multiple times per day—I can hardly imagine managing PDFs without it.
That said, Acrobat Pro is not without its flaws. Adobe has made some unconventional design and workflow choices that deviate from standard software practices, making basic tasks like renaming or moving files unnecessarily complex and unintuitive. Additionally, Adobe’s cloud storage, which is almost unavoidable, feels outdated and lags behind more popular cloud services in terms of functionality.
A significant drawback is the inconsistency of Acrobat’s flagship AI features, which don’t work with all PDF types. For instance, AI capabilities are notably absent for scanned PDFs, even when OCR has been applied. Given that scanned documents make up the majority of my PDFs, this limitation renders Adobe’s AI assistant largely ineffective for my needs, especially when compared to the robust functionality of ChatGPT.

We appreciate your detailed feedback and recognize your concerns about design choices and AI inconsistencies. It’s great to hear how essential the app has become for your PDF management! Your insights are invaluable, and we are always here to listen. Thanks, SS
New AI Feature is Awesome!
They just added an AI feature that will analyze the content of a document then you can ask specific questions and it answers them so you can understand it. You can keep documentation of the information it provides. Just had it answer questions on a contract that I was wanting a lawyer look at and I felt that they had lied to me, also didn’t provide all the facts. While that part is still true the AI saw what I hadn’t seen, the services they provided were just specified without any other information related to those services. There was definition of those services, just a broad overview of the service by name. But, they were very specific about all their disclaimers, and basically that they were not liable for when those services would take place and was not liable if I lost money and many additional things if I was displeased with basically anything. I never saw all of that and could have paid several hundreds of dollars for a lawyer to tell me the exact same thing. Amazing is all I can say, completely amazing.
Premium seems to be a waste
I pay for a Premium subscription yet this app and Adobe Scan continue to identify me as a free user. Whenever I attempt to use Premium features such as “Create PDF” or “Edit PDF” it takes me to a screen and asks me to subscribe. Whenever I choose the subscribe button it informs me I already have a subscription. It then processed indefinitely. I’ve checked for updates of the app. That does not seem to be the issue. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. I’ve logged out and back in several times. I’ve tried to reach out to customer service representative (which does not seem to be an option). I’ve turned to Adobe troubleshooting forums to fix this issue. Attempts to troubleshoot are infuriating to put it lightly and result in no helpful resolution. This seems to be a consistent problem for Premium users as there are numerous posts on a few different threads all posing a similar issue. The options offered don’t seem to be helpful. Some of the posed options under these threads were buying PDF packs, not using Reader and instead downloading Adobe Acrobat Pro on to desktop computer to use features from there, etc. Yet these all do not fix the issue and defeat the purpose of a Premium subscription: why have a Premium subscription for an app when the user cannot use the Premium features using that particular app? Disappointing
