Considered Both Products	Adobe Cameron Murray Communications & Marketing Manager in Marketing at Derian House Children's Hospice (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose Adobe Acrobat I have only used Adobe Acrobat when it comes to software similar to it. Because I am an avid user of Adobe Premiere Pro (and sometimes Illustrator/Photoshop), it made perfect sense for me to use Acrobat too. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Acrobat Acrobat is a much more robust app that Preview. Preview is simple and does not have the same about of tools and features that Acrobat has.

Jim Nelson CTO (Chief Technical Officer) in Corporate at Agreda Communications (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Acrobat Honestly, Adobe is the only company I think of when it comes to anything having to do with the Portable Document Format.

As someone who works in creative a lot of the time, the products I listed are super important in my daily work. I typically use Adobe Acrobat to organize and export the files I worked on. I find it to be an all purpose … Incentivized Helpful? Natasha Ing Student in Research & Development at IBI Group (Design, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Adobe Acrobat I would say that Adobe Acrobat DC is the easiest to use among Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator because it does not require any complex training or experience with the software beforehand. Similar to Microsoft Word, it is an easy-to-understand interface … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Acrobat I have used Microsoft Word to create forms. I have also generated reports using Microsoft Access and generated a pdf using Acrobat reader. I also used InfoPath to create input forms and display data in SharePoint.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Acrobat Adobe Acrobat DC is the end product software used to complete print projects. Most vendors require a pdf only so it’s a necessary tool to learn. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Chow Learning Experience Designer / Graphic Designer at ULearn.tech (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Acrobat 10+. There is no other application I would use if given the choice. In one of my other consultations, one of the businesses had to merge multiple-single PDFs into one document. Not only did I suggest Adobe Acrobat Pro DC but another user asked the same thing. The business did … Incentivized Helpful? Cheryl Shelmadine owner in Corporate at Copy Tec Legal Services, LLC (Legal Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Acrobat Acrobat is the gold standard. It is the Cadillac of pdf software packages. PDFCreator is a good solid program that will work well in environments that need the basic pdf acrobat functions. It is a much better price point too. But if you need all the bells and whistles, I have … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Acrobat I have a lot of experience with the majority of Adobe products and applications within the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects, Dreamweaver, and numerous others! The entire cloud suite of applications is absolutely … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Acrobat Adobe Acrobat DC is as robust as these other products but much easier to learn and implement changes.

Adam Fenton Director of Multimedia Technology in Information Technology at Woodruff Arts Center/Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (Performing Arts, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Adobe Acrobat We might start with something like MS Word or InDesign and use those as the "master" document editors, but when sharing the document publicly or to external partners where the document wording needs to remain intact, saving to the PDF format is definitely the preferred way for … Incentivized Helpful?	Adobe Verified User Chose Adobe Premiere Pro I have also used Adobe Premiere Rush (a less capable but more streamlined and easier to use version of Adobe Premiere Pro) and Canva to produce video content. Ultimately I will choose to use Adobe Premiere Pro every time. I always end up wanting to do something in Rush that I … Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Folts YouTube Filmmaker at Self-Employed (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro I had no problems with Final Cut. It was also easy to use and very powerful. However, Adobe Premiere Pro is part of the Adobe ecosystem, so it just makes sense to use it instead of Final Cut Pro. Of course, some people may prefer to pay a one-time fee of $300 with Final Cut vs … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Many other producers and editors prefer to use Adobe Premiere Pro over other industry alternatives because it is so widely used across post-secondary institutions and companies across the world.

Franchesco Petrizzo Colsultor de Marketing Digital in Marketing at Agencia de Festejos CAR YAN C.A (Events Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Filmora is an excellent program.

Robert Brown Designer in Marketing at Lennis Design, LLC (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro I've not used the Corel contemporary in quite a while but when I used Pinnacle in previous years there really wasn't a comparison. I'm sure for a budget-minded user it would get the job done but I think plenty of free software would be just as good. If you're going to pay for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Premiere Pro A similar program is Adobe After Effects. It has some of the same functions, but for basic or in-depth editing of a video, Premiere Pro should be your first choice. Incentivized Helpful? Bryan Crowe Digital & Video Specialist in Product Management at Allured Business Media (Publishing, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro iMovie is okay for "family video" editing if you aren't getting overly involved. My biggest issue with iMovie was in making changes. It was not a good tool for that. Now it's been a number of years since I worked in iMovie, so perhaps they have made changes to it, to improve … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Premiere Pro is by far the best video software of the selected products.

Brent Polson Marketing and Communications Manager in Marketing at DaredevilDesign (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro These other products are provided to work seamlessly with Premiere Pro.

Anthony Burke Public Information Officer in Corporate at Betty Hardwick Center (Mental Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro I didn't see it listed in the dropdown, but I've also used the stripped down Adobe program, Adobe Premiere Rush, which is also excellent, although you probably need to use it in conjunction with Premiere Pro for unfettered use. Although my introduction to the video production … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Again, this comes down to integrations with other Adobe products.

C.A (Music, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro In the main thing I think that the Adobe company develops products of very good quality.

Paul Weber Video and Digital Media Technologist in Information Technology at Xavier University (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Premiere has many more features for the power user than either of these alternatives, and is available cross platform unlike iMovie. It can handle more formats than Camtasia and gives more exporting options than either. Incentivized Helpful? Ashley Erickson Public Relations Coordinator in Social Media at Minnesota Association of Professional Employees (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro I previously edited on a Mac, so I used Final Cut Pro. I found FCP easier to learn at the start, but I believe APP has more features. Incentivized Helpful? Lauren Holloway Creative/Media Specialist in Marketing at Operation Warm (Online Media, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro I feel the most comfortable using Adobe Premiere Pro because of how frequent I use it.
