    5 out of 5 stars Adobe Acrobat 8.......2007-06-11

    Installed as an upgrade from V5.5. LOVE the program, especially the OCR capability to reverse a pdf to editable text. Highly recommended product for any office that sends a lot of documents via fax. Instead of faxing now I send via email as a scanned pdf and don't have to pay the long distance phone bill to fax out of the area.

    4 out of 5 stars Sometime Adobe just doesn't get it........2007-05-12

    Product as usual works as described, but help through the product or parent company is lacking.
    I upgraded from version 5 and had no major problems (although you cannot run both versions in that 8 removes 5 from your system) with installation.
    Once you are in 8 much has changed and even with a large degree of compter savy working through the changes were not intuitive nor were the help files clear and easy.

    5 out of 5 stars Good product has gotten better.......2007-04-10

    The upgrade presents a good value for a Vista-compatible product that includes improvements to ease of use, particularly for combining documents into a single PDF.

    4 out of 5 stars Great but only 2 licenses.......2007-01-09

    I love the product. I especially like being able to type text onto scanned pdf documents. Extremely helpful for filling in government or preset forms. I should have checked the nnumber of licenses with the upgrade (only 2). I use on my office, home and laptop computers. A single license is not available so I had to buy two full upgrades.

    5 out of 5 stars Important Upgrade for Information Workers.......2006-11-30

    Adobe Standard 8.0 is worth the upgrade from earlier versions. If you do research and want a better interface, design and functions then you need this new version of Adobe. It is an incredible tool for gathering, sorting, copying and formatting information. It also is faster than older versions. See details (above) on Amazon. Recommended for all information-knowledge workers.
