The new Acrobat pushes PDFs to the cloud. The Mobile Link button at the bottom of the screen indicates that you can view your documents on mobile devices, too. If you subscribe to Creative Cloud, you’ll get the same features as with Acrobat Pro DC (subscription).Īcrobat DC Pro's new Home screen shows you documents from your computer and your Document Cloud. The non-Pro version lacks things like PDF file optimization, redaction, Preflighting (checking document elements prior to press printing), Bates numbering (adding numbers or date and time marks to a document), and document version comparisons.

The perpetual versions do not allow you to send out PDFs for electronic signatures. Before we get too deep into that, however, let’s go over all the new flavors of Acrobat.Īcrobat DC and Acrobat Pro DC are available as perpetual versions ($299 and $449, respectively) or subscription versions ($12.99 and up, depending upon version and length of subscription). We tried Document Cloud and all the other new features, including a new interface and new mobile apps, in our review. No other competing PDF utility has anything like it. Signatures are an essential part of business, and one that’s now made much easier with the new Document Cloud service you can get on subscription with Acrobat. With the new Acrobat DC, Adobe offers a killer app that could lure at least some users back from cheaper PDF editors: electronic signatures.
