Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard Description:

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard review:
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 prevents you from using your own software, even if you only install it on one machine.



Having purchased this software almost a year ago, I uninstalled it because it did not read files Acrobat 6 does, as mentioned above. I thought this might be a bug in the program which Adobe would fix. So I installed and uninstalled it several times, each time the program would not work. Now the program tells me I have activated it too many times, though I have no working copy of the program. The software tells me to call Adobe customer support, but after keeping me in a computer loop for 10 minutes I learn the "call center" is closed, or there is simply no answer after 50 minutes.



If I could return this software I would. It does not work. I can't return my copy, but you don't have to buy a copy. Stick with 6.0 or the cheaper Scansoft program. Acrobat 7.0 does not work, and after a time Adobe won't let you use, even if you buy it, full price.
