STOA's verdict7.4

Adobe Acrobat is best for small businesses that regularly work with PDFs — think contracts, proposals, or forms you need clients to sign.

It's the gold standard for PDF editing and e-signatures, but the price tag (starting around $23/month) feels steep when cheaper alternatives like Smallpdf or even built-in tools handle basic needs just fine. If your team lives in PDFs daily, it's worth it; if you only need it occasionally, you're probably overpaying.
