“Adobe is offering businesses greater agility with Document Cloud. Adobe’s passion is to take things
forward, and we expect nothing less from a company that is an industry leader.”
“In our business, everyone is mobile-enabled. Companies are using mobile technology and cloud
applications to gain access to information, efficiently and fast. With eSign services in Adobe Document
Cloud, we can access information remotely. Accessing information wherever you are, whenever you want
is no longer a nice-to-have, it is a must-have.”
“Our goal with eSign services in Adobe Document Cloud is to get documents signed fast and efficiently,
then delivered to where the people are. We try to eliminate wasteful steps and make the customer
experience easier. With one click of a button, e-sign services can help us achieve that.”
“Adobe provides us with an innovative, new option for e-signing to reach customers by removing physical
barriers that might inhibit business.”

“For casual Acrobat users like myself, Adobe Acrobat DC is much more intuitive and does a great job of
converting PDFs to Microsoft Office formats and back again. It’s easier than ever to work with text and
images. The consistent experience across devices is a big customer win as well.”
Rhonda Carlson, corporate IT group, CH2M HILL
“People will love the editing and enhanced scanning features in Adobe Acrobat DC for how they
contribute to productivity. For our departments that frequently scan documents, the Enhance Scans
functionality will be a timesaver.”
Rob Brawn, director, Automation Systems Integration, CH2M HILL

Document Cloud can be an extremely valuable asset, because whether working on a desktop or mobile
device, our users want a consistent experience without sacrificing functionality.”

require less training, reduce customer support calls, and increase user adoption. Our goal is to support
our business groups by delivering solutions according to their needs.”
Todd Rohack, project deliverables manager, Proposal and Delivery Solutions, CH2M HILL
“It is important for our organization to balance storage, security, and governance to meet the clients’
needs. Adobe Acrobat DC can support an organization’s ability to balance those requirements and
provide the robust document tools necessary to get the job done.”
“Adobe solutions are at the core of everything that my team of more than 300 editors, designers and
publishers does—including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator—with Adobe
Acrobat as the glue that holds it all together. Increasing interoperability across solutions truly makes
sense for the platform and for how we integrate new capabilities into what we do.”
“Adobe has a clear vision for the way all of its solutions should behave individually and work together. By
making already great tools even better and marrying some of our favorite functionality, such as bringing
image correction into PDF, we’re excited to see what’s next.”

APPROVED QUOTES:

“In our business, design plans can change quickly, because of a client’s new requirements or planning
committee changes. Adobe Acrobat DC will give us the flexibility to quickly edit and update our PDF files
using mobile devices, with the same functionality as the desktop so that we can provide the best service
on our projects.”
“Adobe is continuing its tradition of innovation with Adobe Acrobat DC. Faster OCR and the ability to
enhance scanned images in just a few clicks makes repurposing content so easy. “
“The new tools panel in Acrobat DC is simply more intuitive. I can see how it would increase productivity
as you move in and out of documents, compiling contracts or presentations.”
“On the IT side, any time we can save on managing our software licenses is critical. The Adobe
Enterprise Dashboard already makes managing our Adobe Creative Cloud licenses so much easier. I am
pleased with Adobe’s strategy to extend that management ease with Acrobat DC licenses through the
same interface.”
“Gone are the days where we need to track discs and spend time installing software on individual
computers. Acrobat DC and Adobe Document Cloud will make managing licenses easier and more
accurate.”
“Many people attend meetings out of the office but still need access to documents. I look forward to
Adobe Document Cloud giving us the ability to produce any file at a moment’s notice without carrying
piles of paper around. It’s a game changer.”
