While PDF documents and Adobe® Reader® have proven to be godsends for many people, there are still a few limitations of Adobe® Reader® that are holding many users back from fully embracing PDF documents. Thanks to the growing popularity of PDF documents, compatibility is less of an issue because everyone can download Adobe® Acrobat Reader® DC and similar programs for free to access PDF documents. However, with the advent of PDF documents, fewer Internet users feel 'locked' into using Word.

Accordingly, computer users often had no choice but to own Word to access any documents. In the past, most people opened and worked with documents in Microsoft® Word®.
