It depends on the context in which the word is being used. If it is being used to describe urgency, "pressing", "sudden", and "urgent" are all synonyms. Example: "There was a problem on the transport route, which caused a great deal of trouble for a company who acutely needed the supplies."

"Acute" could also describe sensitivity, with "keen", "sharp", "powerful", and the like acting as synonyms. An example of this would be an 'acute pain', or 'acute senses'.

As well, "acute" could be referring to speed, making both "fast" and "rapid" effective synonyms.
