The report highlights that whether it’s contracts that need to be signed, reports to be amended, forms that require filling out or that all important presentation, PDFs are a cornerstone of professional life. If you regularly work with PDF files, then you’ll know how important they are in the modern global stage.
In a fresh development, formatting issues, problems moving from one device ecosystem to another, and restrictive tools are commonplace, which can leave users frustrated at the time they’re wasting. Well, Adobe Acrobat doesn’t suffer from these issues, as it comes with the most recent AI capabilities and a comprehensive set of functions that make the tasks simple and efficient. If you’ve struggled with PDFs in the past, that could all be about to change. It can be surprising then that many people try to edit them with basic, free programs that makes the process harder and more complicated.
In a fresh development, free editors can allow you to use the existing text fields to enter your responses, but anything beyond that is usually not available. If you want to adjust any of the fields, insert images, or edit the underlying text, you’ll likely need to convert the PDF into a Word document and make those changes there. This, though, often results in messy, unprofessional results, with formatting issues and plenty of other problems – plus, it takes precious time that could be spent on more important duties. PDFs are often encountered when there is an online form that needs to be completed.
In a fresh development, with Acrobat’s PDF editing tools, you can modify the whole page, change text or refine the document structure all with easy-to-use tools that take minutes to understand. Images are also handled with the same confidence, allowing you to resize or reposition existing ones or replace them altogether without the page losing its shape. No need for converting into another format, everything just works in the PDF itself. Since Adobe invented the PDF format, its tools make working with forms a breeze.
As part of the ongoing story, acrobat AI Assistant is built for you. Simply describe what you want to do — no navigating tools or menus required — and AI Assistant will identify the relevant fields and make the changes for you automatically. For actions like deleting or extracting pages, AI Assistant will confirm before applying the changes, so you stay in control. And with Adobe PDFs, edits are non-destructive, so you can undo any of them with the simple press of a button. Not a fan of digging through menus and tools?
The report highlights that ensuring that everyone agrees can end up with various emails, messages or other routes of communication which have the potential to miss something or cause confusion. It’s also not always possible to know that everyone is looking at the most up-to-date version of the document. If you’re working on a project or document that needs to be signed off by multiple parties, then you’ll know that managing this can quickly become something of a nightmare.
As part of the ongoing story, there’s also no need for respondents to be sent to a third-party signing ecosystem as everything is kept within the document, so you always know who has signed off or made comments, while ensuring a single version of the document is being used. Adobe Acrobat streamlines this by giving you the ability to collect e-signatures and track responses directly to a document, avoiding any room for errors.
Industry observers note that simple, safe, efficient. PDFs can also be compressed to make them easier to share, plus the cross-device nature of Adobe Acrobat means that the documents will render correctly on desktop, mobile or web-based devices, even when being edited.
