In the Adobe office, we really like cake. Chocolate, red velvet, raspberry-marzipan-coconut swirl… you name it, we’ll eat it. But with all these over-the-top flavors we’re often tempted by, it can be easy to forget that a basic chiffon can be exactly right: classic, simple, and elegant, without any distracting additions to detract from the satisfaction of a familiar flavor done well.

So here we are to write an open letter to our dear old favorite SendNow Basic plan: Dear friend, no, you won’t manage our finances or do our dry cleaning. But you need not be fancy to require proof of delivery and download, or to require sign-in for each file you send. Security, as far as we’re concerned, should be expected of any vanilla cake; you shouldn’t have to add chocolate chips and lemon custard just to protect your own documents.

Though you may be simple, we can still dress you up: you’re happy to don that professional look by allowing for personal branding, which is an amazing feat for such an easy-to-use service. For those who run a small business, the ability to apply a logo to your clean appearance makes you a worthy choice for sending files to clients and customers.

Not only do you look the part; you play the part by offering 5GB of storage capacity, 200 possible recipients for each file transaction, and an impressive 500 downloads per file. Show us any other basic cake that can do all that!

SendNow Basic, we’re proud to include you in our tiered offerings at Acrobat.com – and at only $9.99 each month, you’re not too far out of reach. Thank you for being our simple and elegant chiffon cake, and not a chocolate-banana-hazelnut-cream pie.
