Why Adobe?

Adobe invented the PDF format and, with Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere, has shaped image and media editing for decades. Files from Adobe programs can be exchanged easily with print shops, agencies and clients, and there are tutorials and learning videos for almost every question. Working with Adobe means using the same tools professionals rely on every day.

An example from practice

A law firm compares two versions of a contract, redacts personal data before passing it on and has the client sign digitally.
