 They'll try to screw you February 21, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Adobe has a habit of making sure their new products break their old ones, thus forcing you to upgrade. Try editing a pdf in Acrobat Professional v5.0 Seems to work... but you can't print it from any of the newer versions of the reader. Oops. And did you ever have the pdf writer? If so, you may have noticed that a fairly recent upgrade of the Reader disabled your installation of the writer. Hmmm... now why would that happen? Time to upgrade, I guess.
Do yourself a favor and find an alternative solution. Adobe wants more wallet share, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get it.
 Adobe needs a form filling version for lower price - Try CutePDF December 5, 2007
30 out of 30 found this review helpful
I did some research and found a nice product, that is essentially Acrobat Standard Edition called CutePDF Professional. Price was only $50 and comes with a form filler product to enter/save data in PDF forms ($30 if you only want their form filler product). Can also edit PDF form fields, merge PDF's, and change PDF page odering (all handy for when I scan stuff to PDF and find out after the scan I messed up one page, I can fix this now!). This is the basic funcitonality I needed and was bummed that I thought I had to drop a few hundred dollars on Acrobat Standard Edition to do this. I was a hairs breath from buying Standard Edition but found CutePDF with a little web searching while looking for used copies of Standard edition. Only thing I would "like" that it doesn't do is edit existing text in a PDF (not text form fields, those are fine), but then again, you need Acrobat Professional to do that anyway, and that's very expensive. Hopefully, CutePDF wil motivate Adobe to create another Acrobat product category for we simple home users that need such basic functionality (especially saving forms) a few times a year but don't want to drop a few hundred dollars to get this. Yes, Reader can save forms IF the person sending you the form enabled it to allow Reader to save form data, but that's a pain, since that doesn't always happen, and forms are passed along or downloaded and this is an impossibility sometimes. They should make a Reader that allows saving forms after entering the form data for say a price of $40. I would have bought that in a second. The lack of this product led me to find CutePDF. By the way, the $50 price for CutePDF Pro appears to be a special price offer (it's normally $90), but form filler appears to have a standard price of $30.
Extremely Slow November 20, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I agree with another reviewer. Acrobat 8.0 is extremely slow when scanning documents - even one page. I have just discovered this after paying retail price for the software and installing it on two brand new and fast computers. It is so painfully slow that I am going to have to repurchase Acrobat 7.0, which worked perfectly for me. Unfortunately, Adobe does not offer a trial version of 8.0 Standard, just 8.0 Professional. If you are still apt to purchase 8.0 Standard anyway, I recommend downloading the 30-day trial version of Acrobat 8.0 Professional - that should convince you not to buy this product.
 Nice product November 5, 2007

Had no problems Activating this software, works well. I had acorbat 6.0 Pro. & this standard version works just as well for me. Sure beats MS word. I'm happy, but I bought it for less $100.00 from another online store.Prices vary allot.
 Errors & Compatability Issues October 16, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
The new version of Acrobat Standard 8.0 has several issues. Currently working as an IT Manager for our construction management company and all of our users who have installed this version are having issues with fatal errors and with the program simply terminating in the middle of tasks involving Microsoft Projects. I would not recommend this product if you are creating pdf's from Microsoft Projects.
