The Home screen on all of them shows you a menu of available documents stored in the cloud or locally.
You don’t even need a version of Acrobat to sign a document-you can put your Jane Hancock on it in a browser window.Īcrobat’s interface has been updated significantly on the desktop application and the mobile applications, and the Document Cloud service is featured prominently. But no subscription is required to sign, comment on, or save them. Even though Adobe’s mobile apps may be tied to your Document Cloud, you can’t send a document out for a signature from one of them. You’ll need a desktop version of Acrobat DC that includes a Document Cloud subscription to send PDFs out for electronic signatures. The mobile version of Acrobat DC doesn’t do as much as the desktop version, of course, but the look is very similar to the desktop’s The competing DocuSign service costs $10 per month for five signatures or $20 per month for unlimited signatures, and you have to bring your own application (which could be Acrobat-can you say “awkward”?). You get unlimited signatures-the same level of service as you’d get from an EchoSign Pro subscription, which costs $15 a month, and you get the application as part of the deal. However, you can open PDFs or other documents located on those other services in Acrobat, and they will appear in your Recent list of files in Acrobat.Īdobe’s EchoSign electronic signature service is no more-because its features are now built into Acrobat Pro DC and the Document Cloud (it’s also included with Creative Cloud subscriptions).
It’s more than a little annoying to contemplate having to subscribe to another cloud service to get things done.
No, not that cloud: Instead of incorporating new features into its Creative Cloud subscription service, Adobe is introducing a new cloud, called the Document Cloud (DC for short), a document-management and document-signing service for which Acrobat is the interface, on the Mac, iPad, and iPhone.Īdobe Acrobat’s new interface will be consistent across platforms and devices.ĭocument Cloud is a cloud unto itself: It has no awareness of iCloud, Amazon Cloud, DropBox, Google Drive, or any other cloud service. The new Acrobat pushes PDFs to the cloud.
