Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat (professional, commonly Acrobat Pro) is Adobe’s desktop and cloud-based PDF authoring and editing software. It is used to create PDFs, edit text and images in existing files, combine and reorganize pages, convert Office documents to and from PDF, and apply security controls such as passwords and redaction.

It is widely used by legal, finance, government, and document-heavy business teams that need reliable PDF workflows and broad compatibility. A distinguishing trait is its position as the reference implementation for many PDF features and its tight integration with Adobe Document Cloud for review, commenting, and e-signature workflows.
