What our customer's say!

"Shame on Adobe", Like many other Amazon customers, I too have had serious difficulty with Adobe Acrobat conflicting with other programs. In fact I phoned Adobe's corporate office seeking help in rectifying the issue only to be told that they we're unaware of Acrobat causing any issues with other software. Well, clearly this was a disingenuous response. Based on the sheer number of similar posts here, how could they not know about this problem?

In Adobe's case, bigger doesn't mean better. But you certainly get what you pay for... a lot of headaches for the money. Until the powers that be at Adobe are willing to acknowledge the conflict issue, I strongly suggest you purchase another PDF creation tool.

"absolutely hated it", the first reason why we bought this program is to basically make pdfs! It works fine after you install the product but after a week or something I could not make a pdf on a word document anymore. I had to reinstall everything for it to work. then after a week it would not create the pdfs again. I wish I bought the 7 instead

"Acrobat is actobat, you are stuck with it", If you only need to print to a PDF there are free products available. Unfortunately we need to scan to PDF's and there are not any less expensive options available. The product does all of the basic PDF manipulation and OCR.

"They'll try to screw you", 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", 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.

"Adobe Acrobat 8.0 is SUPER SLOW", My advice would be to not go to 8.0 as it is slower than anything I can ever remember. For a software so many people rely on you would think they would have noticed performance issues in development. The problem does not lie within my computer, I hear it from other people that have upgraded to 8.0 as well. I called Adobe about and they know of the slowness issue but for new users they will not give you a key to revert back to 7.0. If you can get 7.0 stick with it until they release an update. Adobe blew it big time with this one. I hope they release a fix soon.

"Best purchase for my business", I finally took the plunge and purchased the "pay for" version of Adobe and I must say, it is one of the best investments for my business! Having the free version always available, I thought, how much of a difference could there really be? A lot! Standard version is wonderful for all, but if you need the technical wizardry found in the professional version, go for that one. This product is very easy to use.

"Acrobat 8.0", Product arrived as advertised. We needed to upgrade to 8.0 for a contract we had, otherwise I don't think Adobe's bloated software is worth the money. Alternatives such as Foxit are more cost-effective and run much faster.

"Donot buy it ", I use window vista and office 2007. The adobe 8 standard can be upgraded to 8.10 in order to create a PDF from office 2007. However I found that it is so unstable I can not use it every time. PDF is super but Adobe is not as good as its product.
Office 2007 has a add in program to create PDFs but this program does not work well especially when I produce figures and save in word 2007. It case super problem when I convert the word file to PDF. So I wish Microsoft can do something for it.

"Unbearably SLOW!!", This is the worst software application that I have ever purchased. It takes an average of three seconds to page up or down and an average of one second per line when scrolling through a document. It is this slow regardless of the size of the document. It is not my computer, because version 7.0 worked perfectly. My computer has a 2.6GHz processor and 1Gbyte of memory. Don't believe their marketing propaganda which claims that they have improved the operating speed over the 7.0 version. Some are blaming the performance problems on their licensing processes that are constantly running in the background. If you don't need the added features in this product stick with the free PDF readers that are available on the Internet such as Foxit.
