No. Acrobat Reader is a free, stand-alone application that you can use to open, view, sign, print, annotate, search, and share PDF files. Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Standard are paid products that are part of the same family. See the Acrobat product comparison to explore the differences.

Reader makes it easy to annotate PDF documents. With Reader on your desktop, you can: annotate PDFs using sticky notes; type text directly onto the page; highlight, underline, or use strikethrough tools; and draw on the screen with the freehand drawing tool. The same commenting tools are also available in Acrobat Reader for mobile.

Using the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app, you can do the same tasks on your iOS or Android devices too. To download the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app, visit Google Play or the iTunes App Store. You can also fill and sign forms using your web browser.

Yes. Acrobat Reader provides a limited number of signatures you can request using the Fill & Sign tool, without purchasing a subscription to Acrobat Pro, Adobe Acrobat PDF Pack, or Adobe Acrobat Sign. If you exceed the allowance of free signature transactions, you can subscribe to one of the various Document Cloud solutions to request even more signatures.

Existing customers of Acrobat Sign can use Acrobat Sign mobile app to do the same on Android or iOS. To download the app for free, visit Google Play or the iTunes App Store. You can also send files for signature using your web browser.

No. You cannot make permanent changes to text or images inside PDF files using Acrobat Reader. To edit PDF files, purchase Adobe Acrobat software. If you have a subscription to Adobe Acrobat, you can also edit PDFs from the Adobe Acrobat Reader tablet app.

Security settings and access privileges for a PDF file cannot be set in Reader; however, they can be set using Adobe Acrobat software. With security settings, authors can define who can open, view, print, copy, or modify a document. These capabilities help organizations protect the confidentiality of sensitive information. With access privileges, authors can define a password that users will need to open the document, or they can use a certificate ID to encrypt the document so select recipients can open it by entering their own, unique certificate IDs.

Yes. At Adobe, security practices are deeply ingrained into our internal culture, software development, as well as service operations processes. Whether related to identity management, data confidentiality, or document integrity, Adobe Document Cloud services employ leading-edge security practices to protect your documents, data, and personal identifiable information to the highest degree possible. For additional information about our company security practices, the Adobe Secure Product Lifecycle, or Adobe Document Cloud solution security, see the Adobe Security pages on adobe.com.

I think this is one of the big improvements in that you don't need to open different Bridge windows anymore - you can have muliple Content panels inside Bridge - see -new/2023.html. They've introduced this pretty much to enable exactly what you are trying to achieve.

As an aside, when you install a new version of any Adobe software, always keep the previous version installed! I've still got Bridge 2021 and 2022 for this very reason, new versions often have bugs/issues and you can keep using the old version until the new one is sorted.

I hear you, but not being able to take a quick glance at what folders are open (ie the images that are in them) is a real PITA, and just having extra content panels doesn't provide the same functionality. There's not even a way to switch between panels with the keyboard (similar to command+`) on a mac, that would scroll through the open windows. The only good thing I see about this new setup is that the panels come back when you quit / re-open (though, I've had issues in the past where a particular folder would contain a file that caused a bridge crash, so that would actually not be helpful in that, admittedly fringe situation).

Agreed. Everyone suggesting this as a solution doesn't understand how many compromises have to be made. These new content panels don't take advantage of OS-level window management features which is incredibly dumb.

Second: a bug. when i have the undocked tab open on the second monitor, i cannot preview an image in the original window on my primary screen by using spacebar, as normal. Doing so causes the primary screen to go blank grey, hitting spacebar again brings back the standard browsing view. While i can previw an image on the secondary monitor in the 'undocked tab', i need to drag both windows onto my primary monitor to allow preview by spacebar to work in both windows, thereby destroying the usefulness of the secondary monitor. More unbelievable garbage.

Forgive me if I am stating the obvious but....I was confused and disappointed that you could not open a new window in Bridge 2023 until I realised you can undock the content panels. Now I just drag the undocked panel to my second monitor and have more or less what I had with a second window in previous versions of Bridge. The only annoying thing is remembering to make sure a panel has focus when sorting, filtering etc.

Ok. thanks for the info sounds interesting.. the problem is I am a 70year old old dog, and learning such new tricks it getting beyond me... and it also gives me the pip that there is often no option to revert to work in old ways.. things that I am used to that let me smoothly work as I have done for several decades, and why I had the same computer and OS etc for more than 12 years. if it works and ain't broke, then why try and 'fix it"... which often causes ages of heartache... (been with photoshop since I came out, but started in photography on 10"x8" cameras). then again 'progress' is often not in a straight line... sad. Regards, And thanks for the info... but now I have re-installed Bridge 2022, and it is all working smoothly, I am not going to rock the boat by changing..

Hi, thanks. yes the problem is these 'boffins' can often come up with a "way of working' something that seem Ok to them, and loos track of the sight, that they greater many users are not young technos that can easily grab such complex or "NEW' advancement as easily... too smart for their own good.

On first run, Bridge puts up a "Whats new" dialog that explains content tabs. Now, I agree that the devs still have a lot of work to do and should bring back multiple windows, but its difficult to get the news about changes to a user if they ignore attempts to do so.

This is so disappointing. I can't stand it when software upgrades make things worse. I can't see any benefit in tabs without being able to open a new window. I often have to visually compare one folder against another, and now it's impossible.

It's frustrating when companies have spent time, effort and money on developing/upgrading an app only to make the experience worse. These days it happens far too often. They must go through each upgrade and ask themselves, "is this making things easier"?

2023 is not an upgrade in the truest sense of the word.
