Overall, this is another solid Adobe update that's worth the expense. This is an improved version of what I think is the best professional layout app. However it's not perfect. I have been suprised with how slow certain things are, even launching. And dissapointed that you cannot save back to even CS1. I have gotten inconsistent results with saving it back through their InDesgin exchange format. It hasn't always worked. Also wish my custom PDF and Workspace settings could be carried over in the upgrade. I had to manually resave them on the fly - and it always seems to come at the I'm already late-for-a-deadline times. Overall, solid stuff from a company that I've come to expect a lot from. Hopefully we won't have to wait for CS3 and Intel Mac compatability for another 12 months like they are predicting...

Heads up, if you bought Adobe Creative Suite 1 Package and then buy an upgrade like this one planning to upgrade just part of it, you're in for a rude awakening.

In others words, "Adobe don't play that." What you buy in a suite collected package, can only be upgraded the same way, which makes little sense, but hey they're the ones who wrote the code.

It's all or nothing, when it comes to collected-package product upgrades.

On a side note - the one star is based on this policy, which limits the usefulness of this upgrade product, not the product quality which is probably up to Adobe's normally outstanding standard of excellence.

I'm sure it probably works great, which makes this policy even more frustrating and irritating.

This product brings several features that I find useful in my work. The upgrade was added without a problem.
