Why people look for an Adobe Acrobat alternative

Adobe Acrobat is Adobe's well-known application for creating, editing and signing PDF documents, used on desktop computers and online.

  • Only the tools you use

    Many people need a handful of tasks, such as editing a line, merging files or signing, and want them one click away.

  • Nothing to install

    A browser app works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebooks, iPhone, iPad and Android, with no installs or updates to manage.

  • Editing and e-signatures together

    Teams often want PDF editing and sending documents for signature in one subscription.

  • A free plan to start

    Trying a tool for free, without a card, before deciding what to pay for.

When Adobe Acrobat may suit you better

PDFZyro isn't for everyone. Adobe Acrobat may be the better choice if:

  • You need print production or prepress features, such as preflight and colour separations.
  • Your organization's workflows are built on a desktop application and its integrations.
  • You need to work fully offline: PDFZyro runs in the browser and needs a connection.
