I HATE this product
At my business we are required to scan things to PDF documents to send to our clients. I love the PDF format. It is a great way to easily condense documents into small file sizes while still maintaining quality. It's unfortunate that I haven't found a way to create PDF without going through Adobe first. As the IT guy in our office, Acrobat problems is the biggest thing I get called about. This is the most bloated invasive software I have ever used, even more so than some spyware I've seen. It installs itself EVERYWHERE.
Acrobat 6
I really think many of the visual upgrades made to Acrobat 6(over Acrobat 5) only made it more clumsy.The core product is still great.

Eh... Version 5 was fine.
I've been a fan (and user) of Acrobat for many years, and am continually amazed by the number of organizations that *don't* circulate their documents in PDF format. I don't even *read* Word attachments anymore, for fear of viruses and because I *know* they won't look like the author intended.

AppleWorks 6.2.2 is optimized for OS X and features six applications for your core tasks: word processing, page layout, image editing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentations. This version of AppleWorks opens and saves Microsoft Word and Excel files using DataViz translators, and converts your documents to PDF using Print Preview in Mac OS X. You can add text, images, sounds, movies, spreadsheets, charts, and tables to any document by dragging and dropping. For presentations, you can include titles, captions, pictures, music, and video, sort your slides using drag-and-drop, and prepare speaker's notes for each slide. You can also use an assistant or template to get a head start on your document, and tap into an expanding library of Internet-based templates. There are over 50 fonts to choose from. ... Read more

Time, time, time
It's incompatible with my MacLinkPlus; everything must become Appleworks 5 before it can then be translated into AW6 and the same thing works in reverse. I can't cut & past text from my old fave WordPerfect for Mac. And it's the slowest somemabitch, at least in iMac X+, that I've ever had the impatience to work with. Spinning wheel: working, working, working, all right already: finish working! It's basically sound, but I can't call up the usually codes to see what is really going on, as I could with WordPerfect. Its translation to html is a nice attempt but full of hesitancies, mistranslations, & that goddamned eternal spinning wheel: processeing, processing. I really think I *could* like this word process if they fixed up the speed, efficiency, & translatability, & added the "seeing within" features I like. [I had hoped WordPerfect would make something for Mac X+, but they say no.]

A "Must Have" Bundle of Products
Adobe Publishing Collection 9.0 is a "Must Have" for any graphic designer.The "bundled" price is a bargain compared to purchasing all the programs separately, and all are a necessity for quality design.The bundle includes all the programs necessary to design, edit, and publish just about anything, though it's not for the novice user - there's a steep learning curve to master the programs and use them effectively.I recommend this packaged price for any user looking to upgrade to most current version(s) at the best price available.Prior experience strongly recommended. ...
