Its time to finish this PDF trilogy by exploring the capabilities of Adobe Acrobat Pro.
We found the tools are easy to locate and use, offering you various ways of working.
All told, this creates a highly flexible interface that works for you.
The interface is the same as for Reader and Standard: clean, simple and efficient
Acrobat Pro doesnt force you to alter your workflow, to do it the Adobe way or else.
Its a fantastic piece of design, particularly for Standard and Pro.
We did find Readers interface felt more like an advert for Adobes superior PDF editors.
These are the tools we used during both Standard and Pro reviews
Take the ability to turn a scanned paper document into a searchable PDF.
Some can be resolved automatically, while others may require a little more work.
But, we find it baffling why this is restricted to the Pro version?
Use Acrobat’s Accessibility tool to check if your file meets the accessibility compliance standard
Wouldnt this feature be of greater benefit if the Standard version had access to it as well?
Something that makes more sense in the Pro arena is the ability to compare two versions of a document.
We could see this as an invaluable tool in anyones workflow.
Redacting sensitive information is so easy to do with Acrobat’s ‘Redact’ tool
Redaction can also prove highly useful when theres sensitive information on a PDF youd rather not share with others.
