This review is from: Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 Upgrade from Standard V5+ [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I love the product. I especially like being able to type text onto scanned pdf documents. Extremely helpful for filling in government or preset forms. I should have checked the nnumber of licenses with the upgrade (only 2). I use on my office, home and laptop computers. A single license is not available so I had to buy two full upgrades.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sometime Adobe just doesn't get it., May 12, 2007

Consultpharm "csp" (Phila, Pa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 Upgrade from Standard V5+ [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

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.

This review is from: Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 Upgrade from Standard V5+ [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Adobe Standard 8.0 is worth the upgrade from earlier versions. If you do research and want a better interface, design and functions then you need this new version of Adobe. It is an incredible tool for gathering, sorting, copying and formatting information. It also is faster than older versions. See details (above) on Amazon. Recommended for all information-knowledge workers.
