What is Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Acrobat Reader is a system that performs optical character recognition (OCR). When converting scanned data, PDF files, and picture files into editable/searchable documents, it is called a document converter. It is available in three different versions: Acrobat X Pro, Acrobat XI Pro, and Acrobat Pro DC.  Adobe Acrobat Pro is more widely use than ABBYY FineReader, despite the fact that it provides fewer language possibilities. This is partly due to the fact that it is less scholarly and more business-oriented than ABBYY FineReader. Apps for iOS, Android, and Windows are available for download on both Mac and Windows devices, and the service is available worldwide.

Also, it is one of the PDF applications develop by Adobe Systems, and it was the first of its kind. It is possible to view PDFs both offline and online using this program and also makes it simple to create, edit, manage and print PDF files. It is also free to use.

Moreover, it is a secure piece of software that is fully compatible with Windows 10 operating systems. It is completely safe to install as long as you get it from the Adobe website.

Adobe Acrobat began as Adobe Acrobat Reader 1.0 for $50 in 1993. This software could make PDFs and searchable text, but it was slow. With Adobe Systems’ help, the issue was resolved in July 2003. However, users continued to complain about the software’s slowness and careless plug-ins. Adobe Systems upgraded Adobe Acrobat XI in 2012. It had editing, a simple interface, and compatibility issues. Eventually, they moved up to Acrobat Suite. Tableau compares these versions for a comprehensive guide and updates.

Difference between Adobe Reader and Adobe Reader DC

Adobe Reader is the free version of Adobe Acrobat, and it offers some of the same features as the paid version. Adobe Reader DC, which is an abbreviation for “Document Cloud,” is the most recent version of the Reader software. It retains the functionality of earlier versions while now incorporating cloud-based technology to allow you to sync documents across several devices.
