Adobe Document Cloud

Softonic review

Cloud-based software to create, modify and share PDF documents

Adobe Document Cloud is a streamlined software package which enables users to access and modify PDF documents within a virtual environment. Boasting a streamlined user interface and all of the functionality associated with Adobe software, this cloud-based system allows changes and updates to be made in no time at all.

Cloud-based solutions with a modern edge

Adobe Document Cloud provides a host of bespoke applications for individuals and businesses. Some examples include the well-known Acrobat Reader DC software as well as the ability to share important files via dedicated mobile applications. This bundle is often used by those who are looking to enjoy a secure means to create and modify PDF documents within a real-time environment while enjoying a greater sense of redundancy. Not only will users be able to access their account from anywhere with a secure Internet connection, but several advanced features such as an electronic signature generator provide a sense of personalization that would not be possible with more generic options. Please note that all pricing plans are flexible. Individual, team, business, and enterprise packages can be selected.

User-friendly and innovative options within the cloud

Adobe Document Cloud can essentially be segmented into two primary categories: Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Sign. Acrobat provides all of the basic functions that users have come to expect including the ability to edit, scan and create documents with a few simple clicks. The interface is similar to standard software from this manufacturer, so integration should be straightforward. While some might call this UI slightly bland, the majority of users believe that its straightforward nature is ideally suited for handling tasks within a real-world environment.

Adobe Sign provides a host of e-signature solutions and as many of the associated functions are automatic, this addition can represent an excellent tool within a fast-paced environment. Customized templates and branded screens both supply users with a level of personalization that simply would not be possible with "cookie-cutter" document editors. As all details are kept securely within the cloud, issues such as an in-house system failure will never affect document retrieval or productivity.

A perfect addition for office administrators

Although editing PDF documents is one of the main functions provided by Adobe, it should also be mentioned that the ability to scan images and convert them into raw PDF formats is another powerful tool found within this arsenal. Rapid deployment, a host of customizable templates and authorized multi-user access are some other features which serve to define this suite. Adobe Document Cloud represents an all-in-one solution that is perfect for office administrators, human resource managers and anyone who regularly works with PDF documents. This system is also quite modular, so the user can purchase only those functions which he or she requires. Note that Adobe Document Cloud can be downloaded for both Windows and Mac operating systems.
