    Good product, but not good enough to justify price

    Before I begin, I should say that I'm reviewing this from an individual user's perspective. Large businesses and other organizations would find the product more useful, but I figure they're unlikely to buy the software from Amazon.The main issue for potential Amazon buyers shouldn't be whether it's a useful product--it is. Rather, is it useful enough to justify its high price? For most users, I think it isn't. Instead, I recommend looking at some other products whose *combined* price is a fraction of Acrobat X Professional.Here are the PDF features I use most and that I think are most relevant to individual users.PRINTING TO PDF. If this is all you want from a PDF software, then Acrobat is waaaay overkill. The free version of Cute PDF is all you need.SCANNING TO PDF.

    Acrobat X is inferior compared to Acrobat Pro 9.

    I was hoping that Acrobat X would be faster with less glitches than Acrobat Pro 9. However, it is actually worse! The tools are so disorganized. In Acrobat Pro 9, you can customize the tool box in an intuitive fashion, but in version X, it is so convoluted and I couldn't figure out how to make it the way I wanted. Also the Typewriter now pops up with its own window that you cannot integrate into the tool bar. What the heck? And the interface is just ugly. What were the designers thinking???Don't waste your money on this, and stick to the Acrobat Pro 9. 1/5 ccc - See all my reviews This review is from: Adobe Acrobat X Professional (Software) I was hoping that Acrobat X would be faster with less glitches than Acrobat Pro 9.

    Ugly user interface mars this new edition

    I have been a fan of Adobe Acrobat from day one. I do a great deal of work in the print-on-demand field, and PDFs are the defacto-standard, and require specialized formatting. I was excited that version 10 was out, and was looking forward to a lot of new features and a better program all around, but I was disappointed.The user interface is completely changed from v.9, and it actually looks like it belongs to a "lite" version, rather than the flagship v.10 this has been touted to be. It took me a while to find my way to my favorite tools, and even though I've used it a while now, I don't like the configuration, and am going back to v.9. (Adobe has provided user tutorials to help you learn the newly revamped interface. Really? Why do I want to spend time learning a new interface to a program I've already used for years?)If you're upgrading from a really old version of Acrobat, then the features here will seem heavenly. But if you're already using v.9, I... 3/5 KWJ (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews, May 24, 2011

    Colossal pain in the *&@!

    Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has been a source of frustration. Conflict between Adobe's PDF Maker add-in and Microsoft Office 2007 causes the Microsoft application to crash. Adobe's add-in is automatically disabled by Word, Excel, etc., so you can't make an Adobe PDF while using a Microsoft application. If you enable the add-in in Word (a tricky process in itself) and then try to create an Adobe PDF from a Word file, Word crashes. But now you can create a PDF from a Word file when you are in the Adobe application! Major heartburn! I wish I had stayed with Adobe Acrobat 5.0!On Adobe's website there is a TechNote that will guide you through no less than FIVE solutions (three printed pages) to help you resolve the conflict between Acrobat 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2007. Buy Adobe Acrobat 9.0 only if you are prepared to do battle with the default settings in Microsoft Office 2007. 2/5 J. Bradley (Rancho Mirage, CA) - See all my reviews, July 23, 2008

    Great program - works for me every time!

    I'm that guy in the office that always downloads the betas, always been willing to take a risk to try out the newest software, so I've been through a litany of nightmares when it comes to new programs and their inherent bugs. That being said, I have to say that Acrobat Pro 9 has never given me one bit of trouble. I upgraded from 6 to 9 so I could take advantage of the LifeCycle Designer to design forms for my company. Installation went smooth, and it's never given me any trouble. I recently upgraded to Office 2007, and both programs continue to function perfectly, separately and jointly. I always hate to see other have problems with their software (there are just so many better ways to waste time), and everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, but I have give this one a thumbs up. 4/5 Richard R.

    Worst Product Support

    I am the IT and a small company. We upgraded to Version 9 two computers. Software is fine until you have a problem. Mother board crashed in one requiring replacement. Adobe will let you install Acrobat then it checks out configuration. Adobe nag Tells you software will shut down in 30 days. Checking FAQ you must deactivate software before installing on another computer and it must be the original computer. Called customer support sept 10th. On hold 92 minutes had to leave phone for work then called back and placed on hold for another 32 minutes still no support. On hold today 34 and counting. I will update this if I ever get adobe to answer customer support. Microsoft customer support had my fix for me on day after I email them. 1/5 Edward "Hockey Guy" (king of Prussia, PA, United States) - See all my reviews, September 14, 2009

    Still looks like it was created for a PC

    I upgraded from Acrobat Pro 7 to 10 last week. I am happy with some of the new features, and I find that the application's speed (for tasks like OCRing) is much improved. The user interface of Acrobat X Pro still looks like it was created for a PC, however, or in any case not for a Mac. The user experience is extremely clunky. Also, seemingly straightforward tasks -- for example, converting a color PDF to black-and-white in order to save space -- oddly seem beyond the capacity of the program. I am somewhat surprised, in short, that skipping two versions (8 and 9) to upgrade to 10 wasn't as big a deal as I expected. Maybe I am failing to understand the technical advances of this version, but Adobe certainly hasn't helped me to see the added benefit. On the other hand, this is still my program of choice for OCR processing and other forms of PDF file manipulation, like reducing file size or managing security.

    Pain in the A__ to load this software

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat X Professional Student & Teacher Edition for one project that I need to do over Christmas Vacation. I went to load the software and am told to register first on Adobe's website. The registration process is the LONGEST AND MOST DIFFICULT REGISTRATION that I have ever seen for any product, including you have to scan and attach a copy of your school ID. Good luck if you don't have a scanner, or worse yet, if your school doesn't give you a photo ID.I noticed on Adobe's website that they wanted the school ID to be within the last 120 days. How dare I stay at the same job for more than 4 months. So, I scanned both of my school IDs (I have two because I teach inside a jail), and my most recent paystub, so something was within the last 120 days, but STILL NO SERIAL NUMBER FROM ADOBE, not even an email response acknowledging my submission.After entering the tiny print 22-digit code a few times along with my information, I finally finish... 1/5 John M.

    There is one big problem with the requirements for being able to use this software. Amazon states you must submit a student ID but fails to indicate the student ID must show a "date" on it. My ID does not have a date on it and checking with other students from different colleges their ID does not show a date on it either.

    Horrible Version-Do not buy!

    I have used all versions of Adobe Acrobat from version 4.0 up to this X version and this is a major step backwards. I tried giving this product a few weeks of use to familiarize myself with it as my first impression was so bad. My initial opinion remains unchanged.Pros: as compared to the prior Version--A glitch that would sometime create a duplicated image at the bottom of some optimized scanned in pages has been fixed(it should have been fixed with an free update on 9).Cons:Everything else!-Including:--It results in Larger Files Sizes for optimized scans compared to Version 9(even though it says otherwise in the description)!--For simple PDF files, the file size is not reduced at all, as it claims to do.--Still has not fixed bugs in creating Office files using the included MS Office icons(Tech support confirmed this will probably not ever be fixed)-but yet those non-working icons still start up every time I start office up even... 1/5 A.

    A large step backward

    This release is a real stinker, and the more you know the worse it gets. It is far less flexible than earlier versions. To wit:1. Even if you are the digital signer making documents, security settings block you from reducing your file size, deleting erroneous sigs, etc. In earlier versions you could make the changes and re-validate. Not here. So, let's say you sign a large document with lots of pictures, and see that the file is large. You then want to reduce file size. No dice - can't be done2. One can no longer print a PDF to a PDF in adobe. This change really sucks for advanced users. You are basically wedded to the authored pdf and can never start afresh with making a PDF from a PDF. Let's say you want to get rid of annotations and bloatware by reprinting into a smaller footprint.Power users should avoid this release at all costs.Other users should too.I'd urge buyers to do their homework and return within the... 1/5 E.

    Don't buy it! Acrobat 9 is better

    I had a choice between version 9 and X and made the wrong one. I had been using the trial version of 9 and loved how I could copy information in a PDF as a table and paste into Excel. Version X says it has this great new feature of being able to save a PDF as an Excel file and I thought, "Great!" Uh, not so great. Information that used to copy and paste beautifully into Excel is now a jumbled mess. Some of the columns don't translate correctly, so instead of information spread out over 3 or 4 columns, it's all in one - I can get THAT from the free Adobe Reader.

I had been using the trial version of 9 and loved how I could copy information in a PDF as a table and paste into Excel. Version X says it has this great new feature of being able to save a PDF as an Excel file and I thought, "Great!" Uh, not so great. Information that used to copy and paste beautifully into Excel is now a jumbled mess. Some of the columns don't translate correctly, so instead of information spread out over 3 or 4 columns, it's all in one - I can get THAT from the free Adobe Reader.

    Party Like It's 1999

    Lets face it; after two decades, Adobe is running out of ways to make documents seem exciting.With Acrobat 10, there are three price tiers. Acrobat pro adds the ability to redact information, make forms and embed media files. Acrobat suite tries to vertically integrate Acrobat with technology from Adobe's other products (Flash, Premiere, and Photoshop) to provide an alternative to Powerpoint.Here's what would excite me: If Adobe took the time to rewrite Acrobat from the bottom up as a 64-bit application. I am running Acrobat on Windows 7 64-bit and it still uses antiquated 32-bit code.I would also be excited if Adobe added serious multi-threading support since most of today's computers have two, four, six and even more processor cores.Adobe definitely has not skimped on heavy-handed Digital Rights Management -- the buzzword for its effort to keep you from stealing this software. Adobe runs its Windows background software even when you... 1/5 Adam Bahner - See all my reviews, December 10, 2010

    Trouble Using with MS Office 2010

    When I bought a new computer in January 2011 I upgraded from Acrobat 8 Standard to Acrobat X Standard specifically because the product advertises it is compatible with MS Office 2010 and Windows 7. I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home edition. My MS Office suite is 32-bit. Unfortunately, I can't create .pdfs from any Office products.I spent 61 minutes on hold waiting to get through to a tech support individual the first time I called. I have since spent several hours with a tech from India on two different occasions where he controls my screen and tries to solve the problem. The individual has had no luck trying to fix the problem. I really don't think the tech support individual knew much more than I did by watching him fumble around on my screen. I think he may have been searching Adobe's support site for answers! He rescheduled for a third time, but failed to contact me. I have now had to reopen the support claim because Adobe considered my case "resolved" since they... 1/5 Travis H. Long (CA) - See all my reviews, February 28, 2011

    Mac Version Does Not Support Word .docx Rich Content to PDF

    I used this product just long enough to discover that the Mac version does not support rich content when converting Word .doc or .docx files to PDF. Internal links (cross-references to bookmarks in the same document), for example, are not converted. For that, I was told after several support calls, one needs the Windows version, which is supposed to come with PDFMaker for use in such conversions.All that was several weeks ago. It took that long, working faithfully with the call center from day to day and from week to week to sort out (1) who I am - I had an older customer ID associated with a purchase made years ago, and it took several calls to figure out the customer ID under which my Acrobat 9 purchase was made; (2) make them realize that I'd uploaded my software destruction agreement as a prerequisite to the license swap that would get me the Windows version; (3) confirm shipment. The Windows version is due to arrive this week. All I can do is hope that I don't... 3/5 David L. Sieving - See all my reviews, June 29, 2009

    Acrobar Professional 9 for Mac

    I had used Acrobat for Windows for years and liked it very much. A stable and useful program.I got an IMac and the Mac version of the same program. Whatta dog! The program hung up on its own files when doing a search on the same HD as the application. You got an error message when you tried to update saying the original file had changed and that you had to reinstall. It was a stupid error message in that updates created a different file than the original (duh, Adobe). The final straw was that I got an error message saying my original program was part of a suite (it wasn't) and that I should activate with another product of that suite that I did not have.It has been three weeks since my latest Adobe case number and they seem to be more interested in getting CS5 out than improving current programs and making them usable.Steve Jobs was right in not allowing Adobe products to run on Apple machines. 1/5 Paul J.

    As Writer & Artist, I Use It Daily WITH Mac's iWork 09

    I need this product because of the things that I do. I am an artist and a writer. This product may be overkill, however, for those who do not have a professional use for it. Another reviewer mentions on this page that a serious problem with it is that it does not natively support certain microsoft document files. I bet the reason for that is that most of us using Macs use iWork 09 as our Word equivalent software. Thus, Pages software opens a document file and then you may convert it to whatever you wish. I used to keep Open Office on my macbook but then I discovered that between the Adobe products and iWork 09, I really no longer needed Open Office. I had used Open Office to replace Microsoft Office since it is freeware and essentially the same software as MS Office. Remember, this is a product for Macs and it usually works best to use Mac products along with the Adobe products. The first reviewer covers all the things this product does very, very well so I will not reiterate... 5/5 carol irvin "carol irvin" (United States) - See all my reviews, August 23, 2009

    Good release, a bit glitchy though and more bloated than ever.

    Adobe comes out and delivers another fine Acrobat product. While I purchased this for the sole purpose of creating PDFs and forms we could email our customers, have them fill out, save and email back, the brief touches I've had with the automatic form generators have left me impressed. The user interface is well thought out and clean which is a touchy subject for me personally as a programmer who specializes in UI design. Everything is movable, hide-able and customizable in a new sharp looking set of toolbars that should feel right at home in Windows Vista.But, while it's a fine product that loads quickly thanks to a pre-loader when Windows starts, it does suffer from it's share of problems. The new user interface, while fancy, is glitchy, and has crashed out the software on more than one occasion. Simple innocuous tasks such as dragging a form element into alignment can suddenly leave you staring dumbfounded at your desktop as Windows defends itself from some index... 4/5 K.

    FUBAR

    Software that repeatedly crashes and requires multiple reloadings deserves NO STARS, but amazon does not allow that option, so this gets 1 star.Having owned versions 4, 5, 6 and now 8, I've watched this product add features, and with them glitches. Would it be a great product if it worked? Yes. Unfortunately, it crashes, and crashes and crashes.Adobe has already issued two update fixes, but still it crashes.Not good.UPDATE: Since writing the above, I have purchased a new HP desktop and Acrobat generally works on it. The major exceptions are the actions listed under the Document tab, especially Reduce File Size, which simply crashes as soon as you click on it. For anyone who stores large files, this is a significant defect.My old computer (a Gateway) was about five years old.

    Bloated and Unstable

    Another bloated, greedy and unstable piece of software from Adobe. Software whos auto-update feature caused my entire software suite to crash as Adobe burrows into everything for Word and Outlook to Internet Exploiter and Explorer. Here's the kicker, the Adobe software won't let you uninstall or reinstall, generating a consistent error that is not documented on Adobes website. And if you even bother to try their customer support line, find a comfortable chair and make a drink, you're gonna need it. 1/5 E. D. Freeman - See all my reviews, July 3, 2007

    Slower than previous version

    My company recently upgraded to Acrobat 8 from Acrobat 6. Maybe there are some new tools that I don't need to use yet. But in general, I'm unhappy with this upgrade. The OCR takes longer. When extracting pages, I get a strange "in use" error seemingly randomly. Then half the pages disappear into the ether and half stay on the PDF I'm extracting from. The new PDF is not created. Be very careful to check before you save anything you do!

    An Upgrade

    I've been working with Adobe Acrobat 5 for years, it was time for an upgrade, but I didn't want to spend a fortune on the new version. This was a compromise.It creates a much cleaner pdf than 5 did, and it was much faster. However there were some flukes (as with any software) romping over my preferences - ie it conflicts with the new Adobe X Reader plug-in for browsers and causes pdf files not to display in a web browser. They can still be shown locally. I simply uninstalled and re-installed and set my preferences again.All in all, it's a good upgrade compromise. 4/5 Vanessa (North Idaho) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
