Adobe Acrobat Reader Mac Download
Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac offers the wonderful functionality of Adobe Reader as well as some extra features, allowing you to combine PDFs into one file, create fillable forms, edit existing PDFs, and much more.
Pros
Attractive and intuitive design: A beautifully designed program, Adobe Acrobat Pro proves to be intuitive to use whether or not you are familiar with other Adobe applications. The icons are clear, the features easy to locate, and the provided templates allow you to begin creating forms right away. Besides, Adobe offers detailed online tutorials.
Cartload of features: You can combine multiple PDFs just by dragging and dropping files into a window, edit existing PDFs with just a few clicks, add text, change text, play around with the font of existing PDFs, and even save PDFs as Word or Excel files without any hassle. If you need to protect your files, you can also apply extra security options such as passwords and permissions in other applications, as well as set permissions directly in your PDF to prevent unauthorized copying of your data.
Intuitive form creator: Our favorite feature is the ability to create forms that other users can fill out and return. You can choose to either edit one of many templates, or you can create your own forms from scratch. The form creation process feels easier and more intuitive than that of Google Forms.
Cons
Expensive: After a 30-day trial you can choose to purchase a continual license of Adobe Acrobat Pro for $199, or you can become a subscriber for $19.99 a month, to enjoy additional online features. Students and teachers can purchase a continual license for the discounted price of $119. If you do not regularly edit PDFs and just need a way to view them, then the free Adobe Reader will meet your needs.
Bottom Line
Adobe Acrobat Pro is a professional application that is easy to navigate and highly useful for people who need to create and edit PDFs. Although it is a bit expensive for personal use, the price is worth it if you plan to use it on a regular basis.
