Unlike versions up to No. 6, this version require authorization. This means that a single use version can't be loaded on multiple computers. Adobe informed me that this was not a bug and wanted me to buy multiple copies eventhough I am only using one computer at a time. This version forces you to take off the old legal version in order to install. When I found out that my legal version couldn't be used, it forced me to reinstall version 6, this took almost an hour to install, reboot, un-install and reinstall the orginal version. Why is Adobe the only company that forces this? Their program installation don't even skip from one set of four numbers to the next. They force you to type the dashes between the numbers.

If you have multiple computers stay away from anything above version 6.

I've been using Acrobat Pro since version 3.0. This is by far the best user interface of any version. Also like the new tool to combine multiple files into a single PDF. No support for Office 2007 docs yet, but I understand from Adobe there will be a free patch soon.

For me, the indexing and cataloging feature alone was worth the price of this upgrade.

Thumbs up to Amazon, who were the only retailer from whom I was able to ascertain that this will upgrade from V5+ (i.e. 5, 6, 7 or 8 standard).

I sent e-mails to 2 of my other suppliers which were ignored. The software house was less than helpful. I called one major photographic retailer in NY to receive confirmation of their website info (and that of others) that it will only upgrade v.8 Standard.

Take it from me that it upgraded my v.7 Standard and the box indicates what Amazon stated - from V5+.

Congratulations, once again, to Amazon, for a superior shopping experience.

While it did annoy me to have to upgrade to the Pro product in order to get functions like form creation (that was part of Acrobat 5 standard). The upgrade process was seamless and I am still exploring some of the functions available to me now.

Adobe does play a bit coy with even acknowledging that there is a standard to pro upgrade product, but I have come to use the software a lot. I just wish the price was a little better.

My experience with Acrobat has mostly been limited to creating PDFs from WORD, EXCEL, and graphics software, mostly for purposes of distributing to others. With each upgrade since v.5.0, I've noticed it easier to do the job. I know people who use it as regularly as I use MS WORD and swear by it.

I have owned Acrobat since version 4 and have upgrade a few times. The last few times I went with the Standard version instead of the Pro version. This time I went with the Pro so I could do everything I wanted to do. I like the version 8 interface better than version 7 as it seems to be more intuitive to me. I am glad I upgraded.

I upgraded from Version 6 to Version 8 Pro and love it. Adobe 8 has so many cool features.

For anybody who needs the full power of Acrobat, this is the way to go. Highly recommended

Product was exactly as advertised and arrived in excellent condition.
