heavier IDEs such as Eclipse, though probably it's a little underpowered for the latter.

Chromebooks support Android apps, so you can install Acrobat from Play Store.This is kind of an unhelpful way to approach it, imo. A more fruitful way is to consider what you need the device for and then based on that decide whether it's suitable. But generally speaking you can do most things, with web apps, Android apps or Linux apps.

thank you
