Adobe 8.0 Standard

2008-02-08
Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 installed with ease on my XP system and "worked" just fine. However, after registering my product I was "offered", a short time later, the latest update from Adobe to version 8.1.1. DON'T download and install this update.....it took forever to do so and afterwards every time I opened a .pdf in Adobe I would receive a message stating that: "Adobe has caused an error in IE and will now close"...and it would close! The updated version (Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1) was unusable! Thank goodness for GoBack (i.e. System Restore) as I was able to restore my operating system to a point before I installed that update. My Adobe Acrobat 8.0 works fine once again but I will always say NO to any further updates!

Good Product

I upgraded from version 6 of Adobe Acrobat. The new interface in version 8 is excellent and much more streamlined than previous versions. As in all other versions, the product is a bit buggy but nothing that will hinder your use. Sometimes various functions of the program stop working, but when you reboot you computer they sort of fix themselves. Overall, this is a worthwhile upgrade if for the interface alone.

Vista Compatible

2007-12-07
I was concerned that this version from Amazon was not Windows Vista compatible. It is! Just install then go to Help > Check for Updates and you will get version 8.1.1 which does work on Vista. I am very happy with this version of Acrobat. It can make a PDF from an Excel workbook regardless of the number of worksheets -- even if there are different print settings between worksheets.

Not perfect in converting Office 2007 graphics

2007-10-14
I just updgraded from version 7 for the sole purpose of being able to PDF Office 2007 files. It doesn't work yet. Complex graphics with the new sophisticated Office 2007 drop shadows do not convert well. The free Microsoft plug does a good job in about 30% of the time. I am waiting for the patch

Product good but.....

2007-08-26
Two problems. One is not enough documentation. The second is that, although the upgrade is an improvement over previous version, it is not a $100 (it's price) improvement over the previous version. $50 - $60 yes. $100, no.

Latest Versions are usually not better

Some bugs 2007-06-14
Product is good, but there are some bugs, the document always needs refreshing to clean it up. Screen repaints and overlaps itself.

Adobe Acrobat 8 2007-06-10
Installed as an upgrade from V5.5. LOVE the program, especially the OCR capability to reverse a pdf to editable text. Highly recommended product for any office that sends a lot of documents via fax. Instead of faxing now I send via email as a scanned pdf and don't have to pay the long distance phone bill to fax out of the area.

Sometime Adobe just doesn't get it. 2007-05-12
Product as usual works as described, but help through the product or parent company is lacking.
I upgraded from version 5 and had no major problems (although you cannot run both versions in that 8 removes 5 from your system) with installation.
Once you are in 8 much has changed and even with a large degree of compter savy working through the changes were not intuitive nor were the help files clear and easy.

Good product has gotten better 2007-04-10
The upgrade presents a good value for a Vista-compatible product that includes improvements to ease of use, particularly for combining documents into a single PDF.
