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.
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition)

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

Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 on January 15, making this the first update in about four years. We've tested beta versions of the new applications over the last month without running into glitches.
Apple iWork '08

Apple's new iWork becomes a more well-rounded productivity package by adding Numbers for spreadsheets. Pages and Keynote include some nifty visual enhancements too.
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

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.
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007

If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

PowerPoint's new graphics features may make better-looking slide shows, but its new file format can require extra steps for sharing presentations.
Microsoft Word 2007

If you're ready to let go of old habits from previous versions of Word and want to make sleeker-looking documents, Microsoft Word 2007 is worth the upgrade. However, less-expensive alternatives handle its core features without the clutter.
