Where Adobe Acrobat Reader fits
Choose it when a PDF needs to be read, annotated or handled in an Adobe-based workflow.
Check before you choose
Distinguish reader functions from editing features that may require a separate subscription.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Separate personal notes, office documents and shared project tracking when comparing options. Local files offer a different ownership model from a hosted workspace, and synchronization is not a substitute for a backup.
