Adobe Acrobat

[galagan]

Any of you guys use the standard Adobe Acrobat (that is, not the reader, but the actual functional software)?

I'm buying a new computer, it's available for $35, and I've been curious to play more with PDFs. But if it doesn't really add anything useful, I'd just as soon skip it.

Thanks for your comments!

Adobe Acrobat Standard

Dan, Roland here. Depends on what you want to do:

1. If you just want to be able to create PDF files, there are free solutions (CutePDF + Ghostscript, for instance). This is what I use myself at home. At work I use Acrobat Standard.

2. If you have a need to fill in PDF forms and save the things you entered into them (e.g., before a grant submission or other application), then Acrobat Standard will allow you to do that. Acrobat 9 Standard will also allow you to create simple PDF forms.

3. You can see the product matrix here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html

If you have more questions feel free to shoot me an e-mail: rolandl-at-comcast-dot-net.
