Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Editor's Review

For a majority of computer users, PDF is almost synonymous with Acrobat. Adobe’s powerhouse PDF creation app is so hugely popular worldwide that its rivals remain largely overshadowed. While the latest release of Acrobat streamlines PDF editing and makes management a breeze, there is no groundbreaking new feature as such. As expected, the new release comes with a hefty price tag with option for upgrades as well.

The download size of Adobe Acrobat pro is 501 MB and post installation the app can guzzle more than 1.85 GB of disk space. To run the app smoothly, you will require a powerful PC with multi core processor. This is one Adobe app which still runs on Windows XP. Later versions are also supported by Acrobat, in both 64 and 32 bit variants. The Pro version costs a whopping amount but offers enough features to justify the price.

It is quite clear that the Adobe team has focused on usability when adding new features to this already feature packed app. The option to load files from popular cloud providers such as Office 365 and SharePoint is praiseworthy. The revamped Action wizards in Acrobat pro also deserve a mention. The most useful of the lot possibly is Optimize for Web and Mobile. It ensures the display remains consistent across all platforms and fonts are embedded. Interface wise, the app does not look much different from its predecessor. You can now make custom tool set to speed up workflow and suit your needs. You may also export and share those tools sets across an enterprise.

Users, who deal with PDF files almost on a regular basis, will feel happy About Acrobat Pro’s enhanced and revamped PDF editing features. The new Content Editing tools make dealing with text and images a breeze and the results are amazingly good. When you edit, words wrap properly at line ends. With formatting icons, you can change paragraph alignment. A plus icon adjacent to the Format icon offers access to in- depth typographic controls. This is in sync with Adobe’s page layout and design apps. You can even get option to rotate an image by right clicking on it.

The text editing offered by acrobat is good but still not on par with InDesign. While you have greater control over text attributes like character and line spacing, the find and replace feature in Acrobat is less than perfect. You are not allowed to replace all instances of one word at one go. In sections like text reflow and automatic free space adjustment the deficit becomes more evident. Documents obtained from Word get rendered perfectly but InDesign documents do not get treated so well. Acrobat Pro offers object arrange command but lacks wrapping capabilities. .To deal with PDF documents with extensive text which needs editing, you can export it to MS Word format. Now, you can also export to PowerPoint format from Acrobat.

Two major additions to Acrobat Pro are EchoSign and FormsCentral. The latter is used to make and process forms online while the former is used for creating documents for electronic signatures. These tools can be used both inside Acrobat and otherwise. FormsCentral is a well-crafted and intuitive app that lets you create stunning PDF or online forms through templates or from the scratch. If you opt for paid subscription for FormsCentral, you get additional facilities like videoupload as attachments. There are almost 50 pre -designed templates to pick from. They can also be customized and saved.

Echosign is a separate service that costs $14.99 a month and it lets you include signature to PDF and Office files. These files can also be uploaded to cloud-based server. It is useful if you want a contract to be signed digitally by concerned parties and want a faster way to share. Of course, you can choose not to pay and be content with 5 documents a month with the free account. Those using mobile devices to access web can use Adobe’s own EchoSign mobile app but it is limited to iOS users as of now.

There are some new features on Acrobat pro that may skip your eyes at first look but they are very helpful nevertheless. The method to merge several file into a PDF file is graphical in this version of Acrobat. As a result, you get effective preview of the PDF before you make the output. There remain some quirks that used to exist in the earlier versions too. The app will not let you apply OCR to those PDF documents that have a scanned image and textual data on same page. However, there is a solution to fix this issue. You can convert entire page to image in Preflight dialog and then revert to apply OCR. This works as suggested by Adobe but is a distraction.

Positive Points:
 -  Enhanced Editing features speed up workflow.
 -  Excellent MS Office Export.
 -  Improved Form creation and signature attachment.
 -  Excellent PDF file creation from multiple files.

Negative Points:
 -  A bit too pricey.
 -  Requires powerful PC and lots of disk space.
 -  Form creation and Signature features come with limitations.
 -  Performing OCR on some PDF files is tedious.

Conclusion:
Adobe Acrobat’s new version does not come with striking new features but you get enhanced usability and stability. You get all standard functionalities of Acrobat and integration with other apps has also improved. While integration with two online services is suited for enterprise users, home users may find the pricing restrictive. The steep price tag may seem restrictive to casual users and those with older PCs will need to upgrade their hardware to run the software smoothly. Existing users will find the upgrade cost attractive in return for what they get.

Rating: 4/5
