When it comes to documents, the most common file format is the PDF format. The file format that was invented by Adobe, over 25 years ago, has undergone many refinements, and today, it is the market standard for electronic document exchange. For years, users had to rely on the proprietary Acrobat reader software from Adobe, in order to read and edit PDF files. However, over time, third-party developers came up with their own apps, and today, there are many apps and software available (paid and free), that allow you to open PDF files on your device.
However, the power to edit the PDF document still belongs exclusively to the Acrobat Reader app.
Today, with smartphones becoming superior pieces of technology, a lot of document exchange happens over the phone, rather than on PCs or laptops. Adobe and Google have responded to this changing trend by introducing their own versions of apps that help you in opening PDF files.
Let’s take a look at them one by one.

Adobe holds all the cards here and it’s clear that porting the Acrobat reader to an app format means you need to look no further when it comes to editing PDFs on the go. One thing you need to know is that in order to use the Acrobat Reader on the Android smartphone, you will still need to have an account on Adobe in order to sign in and use all the features on offer.
