It obviously depends on what you want to do; Adobe Acrobat is a large, complex and capable bit of software.
But if you only need some simple functions it's probably overkill and there are cheaper or free alternatives.

Quote from: HPsauce As does Microsoft Office for that matter.
He did ask for FREE alternatives.

You're getting pedantic.
I was obviously mainly adding to the Libre Office comment and pointing out a function of newer versions of MS Office that many people are unaware of.
And obviously if you have Office already it is free

What I use quite a lot is the Adobe/Nitro pdf ability to create pdf's from scanner and to OCR the input. I also like to print direct from the browser to pdf format. (Nitro and Adobe provide a "printer").
Keep 'em coming, you haven't given me cause to throw the keyboard at my screen so far.

Didn't your scanner come with bundled OCR software?

OOB Most Linux distro's come with a Print to PDF "printer" and the scanner util will do that as well

It allows you to create your pdf in MS word and then print it to a pdf file.
