Ergonomics
Ergonomics
Ergonomics refers to the study of the relationship between human workers and their environment, where the consideration of physical, emotional and psychological aspects of the work experience are taken into account. When evaluating the standard of ergonomics, there are a couple of categories that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC can be assessed on in terms of ergonomics.
Consistency
Consistency
User interfaces need to consistent, meaning that a consistent colour scheme should be used and the same wording in labels. This eases other users from other softwares to transfer their skills to be able to use this software. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC displays excellent consistency in the backgrounds and fonts.
Consistent Background
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has a consistent background of white, with the taskbar being a slight grey, keeping it minimalistic.
Fonts
A non-fancy font is displayed consistently throughout the software, allowing for easy readability.
Ease of Use
Ease of Use
Applications of all sorts must be able to support all users: those who are novice or experienced, which is why the ease of use is very important when it comes to the ergonomics of a particular software. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC is able to demonstrate these with tabbed dialogues and the appropriate use of icons and texts.
Tabbed Dialogues
These dialogues are straight forward and to the point, making it easier for the user to access.
Appropriate Use of Icons
The icons are simple and are clear for its functions.
Overall, the ergonomics of this software is fairly excellent, considering Adobe has been able to design a user interface applicable for all users of their application.
Inclusivity
Inclusivity
Inclusivity means to take into account everyone who would be able to use a particular software, regardless of their race, gender, or economic background. Adobe Acrobat has attempted to tackle some of these areas by releasing the software in multiple languages.
Multiple Languages Release
Multiple Languages Release
Adobe has released Adobe Acrobat Pro DC in multiple languages for Windows users to account for the many international users that may wish to use this software. This includes right-to left language support.
Although this software is used for those who would want to edit and create PDF files, the inclusivity rating would still be quite poor because there have been no considerations whatsoever with users with different economic backgrounds, disabilities or genders.
