Logos of Acrobat.com online services

Acrobat.com includes several online services, each with its own features, terms of use and subscription costs. In some cases, the same feature may be offered by two or more services with varying details. The following services are available:

PDF Pack

PDF Pack is an online service that allows users to convert files with a maximum file size of 100MB to PDF, combine multiple files into a single PDF file, and convert PDF files to the Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), or PowerPoint (PPTX) formats. Unlimited PDF file conversions are available with a paid subscription.[2] Users can create a PDF file by uploading their file via a web browser, printing to a virtual printer (a download for their local PC), or selecting a file to convert from Adobe Reader X, XI, or Reader for mobile. PDF Pack was formerly known as Adobe CreatePDF. The name was changed on 16 September 2013.

ExportPDF

ExportPDF is a low cost online service that allows users to convert existing PDF files to editable Word (DOCX) or Excel (XLSX) formats. Unlimited PDF file conversions are available with a paid subscription.[3] Users can export a PDF file by uploading their file via a web browser or selecting a file to convert from Adobe Reader X, XI, or Reader for mobile.

EchoSign

Main article: EchoSign

EchoSign is a complete, automated electronic signature and web contracting solution that lets users send, e-sign, track, and file documents securely online. There is nothing to download or install because it's an online service used with a web browser. People can send and e-sign using mobile devices. EchoSign works with leading cloud-based automation tools like SalesForce.com and NetSuite. Free and paid subscriptions are available.[4] Users can access EchoSign from the Sign pane in Adobe Reader XI or Adobe Acrobat XI.

FormsCentral

FormsCentral was an online service that let users create PDF or HTML web forms, publish them online, and analyze real-time results with auto-generated tables and charts. Free and paid subscriptions were available.[5] Users typically accessed FormsCentral through their web browser, but paid users could also download a desktop app for Windows or Mac. In addition, the FormsCentral desktop app was bundled with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro desktop software. Adobe FormsCentral was retired on July 28, 2015.[6]

SendNow

SendNow was a subscription-based online service that let you share, send, and track large documents and multimedia files without running into the file size limitations set my most email systems. The maximum file size for an individual file was 2GB and the service stored up to 20GB of files at any one time. Users typically used a web browser to upload files, input recipient names, and create and email cover letters. They could also track files sent and received, and choose delivery options such as: requesting a delivery receipt, setting file download time limits, restricting recipient access, or adding custom branding to the email message. SendNow users could download a desktop app for Windows or Mac, as well as a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook for Windows.

In early 2015, SendNow was officially retired.[7] It was replaced by Adobe Send & Track.[8]

Acrobat.com - Personal File Storage

Acrobat.com - Personal File Storage is a free service that is integrated with Adobe Acrobat XI software and several of the online services. It was first released in October 2012. This service offers up to 20GB of storage, letting users store documents online and access them from computers and mobile devices.

Workspaces

Workspaces was the original (legacy) Acrobat.com service, offering a team workspace with up to 5GB of storage, an online word processor, presentation maker, and an online table tool. These services were available for free. Workspaces was retired on 7 January 2015.[9]
