Adobe Acrobat 
2008-07-14
Adobe Acrobat is worth every penny. I'm glad we purchased it. Our purchase was easy and shipping was excellent.
Falls Way Short of Expectations 
2008-06-06
This piece of software is disappointing at best. Too many seemingly basic things are incredibly difficult to do. For example, try formatting text from the default red, 10 point font. Only a search of the internet clued me in that pressing "Ctrl - E" would magically pop up a text formatting toolbar. Merging pdfs is clunky at best. There is no simple way to add pages from one file to a new one. Toolbars seem to disappear at will. I would not recommend spending 200+ dollars for this unpredictable piece of software. Adobe should dominate the PDF creation market but it would take very little to surpass this product.
Works Great! 2008-06-01
I run this product on my WinXP desktop and Vista laptop. It installed easily and has been very stable for me (no lockups or crashes). I use it to create pdf documents and to fill out and save pdf forms. It has been working out great for me so far.
There have been quite a few reviews complaining about stability and installation issues. I haven't experienced those problems and do not know what the differences could be between my computers/software and theirs. There may be forums on the web that list the specifications of the computers experiencing these issues.
As far as I'm concerned, this product is very useful to me and I recommend it.
Acrobat has become bloatware... 
2008-04-02
This is really quite disappointing- Acrobat, which used to be a quick, low-resource alternative to text delivery, has become a piece of software so bloated that it crashes constantly, takes an eternity to install or uninstall, and is generally not worth the upgrade. I'd wager that 90% of people would be just fine with Acrobat from 6 years ago, and most of the "features" added to this suite are unnecessary and actually detrimental to the software. Avoid, and look for open-source alternatives!
Very Unstable!!! 2008-03-24
Even after installing the 2 updates it still freezes (Windows XP). DO NOT upgrade to version 8 ...
Installation Nightmare - RAID 1 won't work

Full Version Works as Expected and What a Price 2008-02-28
We had been pricing this elsewhere at 300 plus dollars. Wow, what a bargain we got. Works as expected, no gotchas, a smooth install and great product as Acrobat usually is.
Good not excellent 
2008-02-24
It's a very good product but for Vista I would go with Acrobat 9. 8 and 9 are practically the same in terms of what a user can do. Adobe cleaned some of the bugs in Version 9, which is particularly important for Windows Vista.
They'll try to screw you 2008-02-21
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.
Just as Advertised 2008-01-28
Brand new. Shrink-wrapped. Just as advertised. Installed with no problem. I am happy.
