Adobe Systems Inc. unveiled Document Cloud on Tuesday that aims to simplify and enrich users' document creation and management needs. The service includes Acrobat DC, which is purely mobile-application centric and comes with touchscreen support.

Document Cloud is similar to the Google Drive, but contains the additional feature of built-in tools that allow editing of the PDF documents.

"Adobe Document Cloud will revolutionize and simplify how people get work done with critical documents," said Bryan Lamkin, SVP of Technology and Corporate Development at Adobe.

The touchscreen-enabled Acrobat Mobile version is modified to offer some excellent features, such as photo-shopping images taken with an iPhone and convert them to PDF format that can be edited, e-signed and stuffed with user information, according to Apple Insider.

The e-signing tool that is included in Acrobat DC is built with Adobe EchoSign, OCR technology, informs Tech Times. Users can also use the new mobile app called 'Fill & Sign' to sign documents with the help of a stylus or finger.

As the signing feature comes with some smart image-handling capability, users can sign and send any document via any mobile or a PC. This allows smart syncing via any device, on the go and in real time.

The 'Send and Track' feature lets users control, manage and track documents with simple clicks of buttons. The tracking system can be used by the user to know who has opened a particular document, the location where the doc is opened and the time when it is opened.

Adobe Acrobat DC and Document Cloud will be available in April. Subscriptions of Acrobat XI Pro which is available for $14.99 per month, or Acrobat XI Standard for $12.99 per month, will automatically fetch Acrobat DC when it becomes available

While talking about the usability of the new products, Lamkin said, "People and businesses are stuck in document-based processes that are slow, wasteful, and fragmented. While most forms of content have successfully made the move to digital (books, movies, music), documents and the process of working with them have not, and that needs to change."
