    Adobe sets the bar high when it comes to Acrobat, They've been the #1 since I can remember and have only just cemented their place over the years. We work in the accessibility field and we create PDF/UA and WCAG compliant documents for customers who want their PDFs accessible. There is no way that our employees who work to make these accessible PDFs could do it without Adobe Acrobat! Our business gives owes a lot of credit to Adobe and it's amazing product. I have loved the AI addition recently for my own purposes as there are a lot of company policies, and SOP's to read through and having it summarize and make it easier to digest has been greatly beneficial to me.

As I said in my overall experience statement, We use Acrobat for creating PDF/UA and WCAG compliant accessible PDFs for customers. It has been a cornerstone product for our accessibility services and have been using strictly adobe for these services for over a decade now. Also as mentioned before the AI feature has been so useful for many different things, Obviously it's great at summarizing but I also love it for when a large document such as our company policies document has lot's to scrub through to find what you're looking for and instead of scrubbing through it all you can just ask the AI and it will find it for you. Effort and Time saving is by far the best thing to improve and Adobe has done a great job of continuing to improve those things in Acrobat.

Dislike

That the product has been to big and complex, i want the possiblity to adapt it to my needs, now it good but bulky and takes a lots of resources from my PC. And to be honest there are a lot of services running in the background.
