If you are dealing with PDF files you must have encountered Adobe Acrobat. Adobe Acrobat is a one of the PDF application softwares that was pioneered by Adobe systems. This software allows you to view PDFs offline and online. It also allows you to create, edit, manage and print PDF files with ease. In this article, I will give you a full explanation on what is Adobe Acrobat.
Adobe Acrobat is a useful PDF software that you need to install on your device. But first is this software compatible with your computer or phone. Adobe Acrobat is cross platform that supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Android phones and Windows phone. This make it possible to view and manage PDF files on your phone as well as PC. To be precise it supports Windows: 10, 8, 7, XP, and Server. For Mac, it supports Mac OS X 10.6, 10,7, 10,8, 10,9, 10,10.
Adobe Acrobat was first released in 1993 as Adobe Acrobat Reader 1.0, this software was quite affordable at $50. Although this software could create PDFs and it made texts searchable, there was a complain that it was slow in its performance. Adobe systems worked on the issue and upgraded it to 2.0, 3.0 4.0 5.0 and by the time it was 6.0, it was renamed to Adobe Reader in July 2003. Despite the improvements, the users also criticized the software was not that good and they said it was still slow and its plug-ins were irresponsible. To improve the quality and performance of the software, Adobe systems upgraded it to Adobe Acrobat XI in 2012. It incorporated features such as editing, friendly user interface and compatibility issues. From there, they upgraded from Acrobat Standard to Acrobat Pro and now Acrobat Suite. To get a full guide and developments we need to compare these versions in a table.
