I honestly don't know why anyone uses Adobe acrobat for anything - reader or the editor. PDF is an open standard.
Plenty of open source software does a decent job of making PDFs - Libre Office for example. And if you have Microsoft Word then you can export documents to PDF without issue; or you can use Print to PDF tools too
Its unlikely any office environment doesnt already have licenses for Microsoft Office so just bin Acrobat and direct people to use office. And if you're not paying for office then why are you paying for Acrobat?
As an editor, much of my job--in fact, most of my job--involves reviewing PDFs with Acrobat Pro and marking them up with the markup tools.
I needed to create bookmarks for a large PDF and I could NOT find anyone else who would let me do what I needed.
We already use creative cloud at work and occasionally I need to sign documents, Acrobat makes that pretty easy.
