Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional: Compare prices

By Elsa Wenzel on 30/05/2007

More Adobe reviews , RRP: AU$739.00

The good:

  • Lets you fill out and collect forms digitally instead of having to print them
  • Intuitive wizards walk you through the features
  • Better manages redactions, metadata and security
  • Integrates with Acrobat Connect to collaborate with other users

The bad:

  • No integration with Microsoft Office 2007
  • We ran into quirks

The bottomline:

For composing long PDF packages at an office that requires security and wants to use the new digital forms, Acrobat 8's got the goods, but it's overkill if you only seek to make short PDF files.

      Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred

      Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.

      Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software is adding dynamic features such as integration of animation, dynamic maps, 256-bit encryption, and improved forms. We've been playing with the beta edition of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

      Existing users of Reckon's line of accounting packages have the best reason in years to upgrade with the QBi series. New users should find the attractive pricing of the entry-level versions pretty compelling too.

      Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.
