Question

Is Adobe Acrobat value for money?

I have an Adobe Acrobat Export account for which I pay annually in advance.  But it doesn't allow me to convert, edit and e-sign pdf forms without upgrading to a more expensive plan.  What does it provide, apart from viewing a pdf document?

When I try and contact Customer support "and speak to a real person" it simply goes to a screen listing all the Adobe apps.

Also, this page invites you to Customize cookies for ads etc., but when I click Customize it doesn't allow customization and I can't post this message without clicking Enable All. 

 

Grateful for any advice & guidance.

I've not used Adobe Acrobat Export, but it appears to allow only conversion of other file types to PDF. You can sign PDFs using Acrobat reader which is free, but you would need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro DC in order to edit them. Acrobat Pro DC has a slew of other functionality (creating forms, redacting content, organizing pages, combining files, adding accessibility, automating actions, exporting to other formats). It really depends on your needs and what you're trying to do as to whether it's worth upgrading.

Thanks, David

 

I don't use it much, mainly for reading academic papers and articles.  It would be useful to convert to Word so that I can copy and paste parts of a paper into the book I'm writing.
