4 stars (A Good Reason to Upgrade) - Acrobat 7 Standard on the Mac offers nearly all the features of Acrobat 7 Professional. The windows version of Professional includes a whole extra program (livecycle designer) for creating forms and using xml data. The Mac version does not include that program. However, Professional does offer a couple of very important features: 1) The first is building indexes of documents. Indexing is similar to a search but is much more powerful. An index is a pre-built catalog of all the words in your document, saved as a separate file. After the index is built, whenever you want to search a document, you search the index instead, and searches are almost instantaneous. Searching a regular pdf without an index is quite slow. The real power of the index comes when you index multiple pdf's at once. You could have 100 reports, or a dozen books, or whatever, pre-indexed, and any future search is very very fast. Indexing is definitely a slick feature and an impressive trick if you create content for end users or clients. 2) The other important feature is mostly for the advertising/design/print community. Acrobat Pro allows a lot of interaction with press-ready files. You can view separations, preflight documents, and chop large pages into smaller pieces and print any portion of a page you like. If you work with documents for a living, the Professional version is almost a must-have. Finally....speed. Version 7 is still slow to load. But on a Mac you can leave your computer on for weeks at a time and just leave Acrobat running, so that's not too big of a deal. You can speed up load times by de-activating plug-ins that you don't use. If you just use Acrobat to just view documents, you don't need a lot of the plug-ins. If you use Acrobat professionally, I'd leave the plug-ins active. Do a Get Info on the Acrobat program, click open the Plug-ins tab, and you can uncheck plug-ins to deactivate. For a full description of each plug-in, look under the ...

4 stars (Adobe Acrobat 7 standard) - It has some nice upgrades from version 6. It is quicker than the previous version. Highlighting text is a bit easier. It caused a few problems with my officejet 5510xi and its ports, but I found a patch for the officejet and all is well. It is a product that is helpful in my work. 4 stars (Cleaner look and feel) - The new Adobe Acrobat has a cleaner look and feel, and is more user-friendly. I especially apreciate the new quick distiller buttons in any Microsoft application, which allow you to create a PDF in one click rather than having to go to File and Print. Some functionality as before, with some new organization and better look/feel. 5 stars (Best yet) - After using 7.0 for a few weeks I find that this is the best yet. The speed of opening attachments and the compression when making them is fabulous. I highly recommend anyone to upgrade to 7.0. ...

3 stars (Cannot Summarize and Print ONLY PAGES WITH COMMENTS!) - Aside from being great for making PDF files and the usual stuff I just found this one major problem. If you try to summarize comments and print them (or save as a separate file) you get every page "even if it doesn't have a comment on it"! I just found this little snafu after printing out 240 pages when I only needed the 5 pages that actually had comments! I only want to print JUST THE PAGES THAT HAVE COMMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. I don't need a page after every page that has no comments that says "This page has no comments"! DUH! What a waste of my time and paper! Why the heck did Adobe change this from version 6 to 7?? 2 stars (Very mixed feelings...,) - I use PDFs a lot and I must say that quite often I turn to Free PDF software to actually do the tasks that Acrobat fails to do. One area I have always had a problem with is the formatting of some documents in size and sometimes Acrobat simply fails to recognize them and so I switch to the Free PDF software which has no problems doing this and is easier to use. However if you are a pro PDF maker who wants to add sigs and links and notes and chapters and all the other function tags including security tags then I recommend this product hands down as the best one. I just find that it is not always the best PDF software package in the world, but a good one all the same. I would not recommend buying this one just to make standard PDF files alone. If you want to touch up those file then this is what you need to do that right. 1 stars (Great product gone bad -- warning -- don't buy this version,) - Having purchased and been very happy with Acrobat 4-6 standard editions, I am sorry to say Version 7 is real step backwards for Adobe: -- The program will not read many pdf documents Acrobat 4-6 will (this may some sort of font copyright problem or just a flaw in this version of the software). -- The Activation process is tedious, difficult and prevent...
