5 out of 5 stars Here is the Skinny on the Deal   May 14, 2004

By the time I was done reading the reviews for Adobe Acrobat 6.0 I was depressed. Not only do I not have Windows XP, or Windows 2000, or NT installed in my machine (The only operating systems that will work with 6) I also couldn't muster up the confidence in the product after so many people were giving it the thumbs down. I want to create an eBook, and Adobe Reader is the most popular reader out there, with some 400 million, to a half a billion users with it installed. What a dilemma. I kept coming back to read some more. Finally I found the answer. I bought a new Adobe Acrobat 5.0 here at Amazon from one of their vendors, and it works great with my Windows 98SE. I planned on buying the 6.0 upgrade after they got the bugs out, and or I got a new computer with XP. Then I found out that 5.0 was the only version before, and that was the professional version. 6.0 Standard is a geared down version of 5. Ok, so it has some additional features, but it is missing even more of them.
So what's the skinny on the deal? For what I paid for a new 5 that is the full program, unregistered, and upgradeable, plus what I would have to pay here at Amazon for the 6 Professional Upgrade, I saved 80 bucks, and wound up with both versions 5 and 6 pro. Which as I mentioned are both professional versions. If I bought 5 and upgraded to 6 standard, I would only spend a little more for both versions. (About 4 percent more for standard, and about 20 percent less for professional) That way if 6 standard turned out to be as bad as many were saying it is, I would have 5 also.
In the final analysis, I am using 5 and am super excited about the new capabilities that Adobe Acrobat gives you. I'm hoping that by the time I get a new machine with XP on it, Adobe will come out with 6.something, or a second edition of 6 etc. with the fixes built in.
I'm not the only one to come to this conclusion. I noticed in the sales rank at the time I bought it and wrote this review, that 5 was outselling 6. Also I noticed that in the "Those who bought 5 also bought this" section, it had a special note that said, 47% of the people who bought 5 also bought the 6 upgrade. If your running XP, 2000, or NT, get them both. That way all the bases are covered.
Check out the reviews on 5 you'll be surprised how everybody raves about it. To be perfectly honest with you, if I had an XP machine, I would have ordered the 6 upgrade at the same time. Hope this helps.

I've just installed Acrobat 6.0 and didn't have any problems whatsoever. I can scan without problems (Better rendition than 5.0) and barely noticeable speed degradation.- My only complaint (if called that) is the softening of the look and feel (version 5.0 looked like a serious business software should look).- Notwhistanding that, my continued opinion is that Adobe products wont't dissapoint the serious user.

I am not a business user... been wanting this program for years, but couldn't justify the expense. Finally saw the price on E-bay drop drastically, so I took the plunge. Program loaded in a snap. To date, I have used .Outlook, Web, and Word as source to create about 300 PDF documents. All has gone seamlessly. Never having had previous versions, I do not notice any lag or other problems others have noted. All in all, I am highly impressed. Now, to read that used book I got on the program to see what other neat things I can do.

Any comments on whether it is advisable to upgrade to current version (and why) would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Jay

I purchased this software in 2003 and have used it for five years without any problems. I only had Acrobat Reader before and since I've had Adobe Acrobat Professional I've used it constantly. I wouldn't be without it.

It's early days yet, with this new version of Acrobat. Anyway, like everyone else who's run it so far it's a real heave to get launched in comparison to Acrobat 5, but it does render fonts out nice and sharp and bold, unlike 5.0. This was often noticeable when coming from a Word document you had converted to a .PDF: the fonts looking faint in comparison to the Word original.

The basic interface looks a bit more stylish, and some of the basic .PDF conversion procedures have been simplified for those not familiar with the application, which they would need to be, to get the benefit from the...price tag for the Pro version ( Standard doesn't do forms. - For heaven's sake!).

Some customers have complained about the scanner performance. Get a grip, people. This is only a convenient appendage, you should really be scanning into an image application - such as Photoshop Elements - and printing the tweaked result as a .PDF. I never found this to a serious way to get scans into .PDFs. And even the OCR feature with a direct scan to create a searchable .PDF for scanned text, is too poor to be bothered with. So this is a low priority issue. It requiring a prorper OCR application, such as FineReader 5.0/6.0, to do the job properly.

Forms are easily created. But active ones are still a problem without the end user having Acrobat Approval or the full Acrobat to fill them in and save. This is an issue that really should be addressed by Adobe in their Acrobat Reader, but they're too busy chasing clients for their mega-buck Documents Rights management system which will permit the 5.1/6.0 versions of the Acrobat Reader to save. THIS [is terrible]. ADOBE!!!! But at least an applied digital signature can be verified with the 5.1/6.0 readers. I haven't checked this, so make sure any 6.0 level digital signatures and files work with Acrobat 5.0/5.5 and the 5.1 reader.

Those familiar with, and happy with 5.0/5.5, might want to think about upgrading, unless CAD layers support is a required feature. New buyers will have no choice but go for 6.0, so - in their case - the choice doesn't occur.
