In previous versions, you could add text to a PDF, but if you didn't have the correct digital fonts on your system, Acrobat substituted one of its own built-in fonts, and you couldn't make unobtrusive changes to scanned PDFs made from old books or magazines. A small black-and-white toolbar appears when you bring the mouse cursor near the foot of the window it's essentially the same toolbar you'll recognize from PDFs displayed by the Acrobat plug-in Firefox and other browsers, and it's convenient to have it also in the standalone Acrobat app.Īcrobat's Best New Feature For me, the most spectacular new feature is Acrobat Pro DC's ability to add or edit text in a document's original font-even if document is a scanned image made from a book printed in an old hot-metal font that doesn't exist on any computer.
When used on a Microsoft Surface 3 or other touch-enabled Windows tablet, the interface is fully touch-enabled. This Quick Tools side panel is easy to customize, as is the redesigned, modern-looking toolbar at the top of the window. Now a Search Tools box lets you enter a few letters of the name of the tool you want, and the tool then appears in a panel at the right of the window.
In previous versions, features like redaction and full-text indexing were so well hidden that you first had to enable the menus they were listed on before you could use them. To complicate things even more, there's a Perpetual option (Pro version $499, Standard version $299) that doesn't include the high-end subscription-service features, but runs forever, like traditional buy-and-install software, instead of requiring you to renew your subscription to continue using it.Īcrobat Pro DC has plenty of new features, but the most obvious change is the interface. And an Enterprise subscription plan comes with more fine-grained and secure sharing features. Others can get the app and use the services by buying a Document Cloud subscription for $14.99 per month for the Pro version reviewed here it's $12.99 for a reduced-feature Standard version.
Basically, anyone with an existing Creative Cloud subscription automatically gets Document Cloud services at no extra charge. The Confusing Bit The new version of the Acrobat is simple to understand, though the subscription service has Adobe's typically bewildering array of pricing plans. The new Acrobat Acrobat Pro DC ($14 per month) has a shiny new touch-enabled interface, and a new Document Cloud online service that automatically gives you access to all your PDF files through Acrobat mobile apps or via a computer's Web browser.
