Adobe unveils New Acrobat DC

Android phone and tablet users have now been given the ability to edit PDFs on the Adobe Document Cloud in the latest release of Adobe Acrobat DC.

Previously available on iOS, the reviewing capability now provides instant essaging feedback when PDFs have been edited by collaborators in the Adobe Document cloud. The capability is offered to those with a subscription to Acrobat DC or Adobe Creative Cloud.

“Adobe Acrobat DC is the gold standard for today’s mobile and connected workforce,” said Bryan Lamkin, executive vice president and general manager, Digital Media, Adobe. “With this powerful release, we’ve created a modern PDF platform that enables people to scan, sign, edit, share and review content quickly and easily wherever work takes them.”

A completely redesigned Home view across the Acrobat DC desktop app, Acrobat Reader mobile app and the all-new Adobe Document Cloud web app acts as a central hub for all PDF activity, providing a single view into status updates on incoming and outgoing tasks like documents that have been shared with you for review or that need your signature.

Form field recognition, powered by Adobe Sensei, in Acrobat DC desktop, Acrobat Reader mobile and the Document Cloud web app is used to fill out and sign forms faster. Adobe Sensei analyses documents to recognise the field type, size and position so that users can just tap and type content without having to change tools manually or align text in field boxes.

Adobe Sign is built directly into the new Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader, including a completely redesigned and simplified way to send documents for signature in Acrobat DC. And using Acrobat Reader, hundreds of millions of people can now electronically sign PDFs no matter which surface they are working on.
