What differentiates Adobe Document Cloud from other similar products?

It differentiates itself from competing programs by providing several layers of security, including encryption, digital signatures, and password protection.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Adobe Acrobat's extensive feature set is its strongest suit; the program allows users to do a lot of useful things in one convenient location, including merge documents, add comments, edit PDFs, compare documents, and even manage sticky notes for everyday tasks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As a whole, Adobe Document Cloud is a fantastic program, but the classic user interface is very dated.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Its ability to transform Word files into shareable PDFs is why I suggest it. Instead of hand-typing the information, you can use Acrobat to scan the document to your computer and then construct text fields to fill it out neatly.
