I love Adobe Acrobat, as I use it for everything that needs to be in pdf format (jpg, too). It's concise, easy to use, organize files, transfer, share, and access later. Many of its services are free, but, as with many services these days, it does require a subscription for editing documents. I highly recommend it, whether you're a student, professional, or just manage a lot of data (who doesn't?)!

Deleted my papers I spent hours working on. I will never try it again. It was difficult to use. I was trying to fill out paperwork the Dr sent and it kept putting the curser to type in the wrong spot, it also made the font much larger than the original text. when I tried to change it , it made it either tiny or massive , no in-between besides the one it chose automatically. It would have been much faster to just print it out and fill the paper out by hand.

Hi Nicole! Sorry to hear that😔. Could you please share whether the cursor moved to the wrong spot when adding text or editing existing text & whether the font-size issue happened with every text field or only certain fields? Please share a screen recording & device details at [acrobat-android-support@adobe.com] so we can assist you better. ^VK

they want $15 a month or $70 a year just to be able to edit text in a pdf. the best part is the text editing is terrible. if you add a new line, the layout does not update and it just overlays the other text in the pdf. plus, all changes you make are automatically saved with no backup and no way to undo them except manually. don't expect anything less from adobe: high priced software that doesn't function well
