Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
To get their jobs done, knowledge workers in engineering, legal, sales & marketing, finance, human resources, IT and other professions need access to high-value information. Often, that information is obtained through shared documents, forms, 3D designs, spreadsheets, and presentations; in meetings; or through other means. As a result, ad-hoc collaboration among knowledge workers both inside and outside an organization is essential to gathering the information needed to get the job done. But there are many boundaries to collaboration and data sharing, such as security concerns and differing applications and computer platforms. New features and functionality in the Adobe Acrobat 8 software family make it easier than ever for knowledge workers to reliably and more securely collaborate and share data. Also new to the Acrobat 8 family is access to real-time collaboration capabilities. Simply by clicking the 'Start Meeting' button in all of the Acrobat 8 products and Adobe Reader 8 software; users can take advantage of Adobe Breeze Express software for real-time meetings over the Web.

The Acrobat 8 family helps users initiate, manage, and organize ad-hoc collaboration by creating and sharing content-rich documents; combining multiple files into a single, polished Adobe PDF document; managing and organizing feedback to expedite document collaboration; collecting and exchanging high- value information; and controlling document access with confidence.

The Acrobat family has been strengthened to help meet industry-specific requirements regarding information sharing. New tools allow users to permanently remove sensitive text, images, metadata, and other information in an Adobe PDF document. Converting complex, large-format documents into Adobe PDF is significantly faster, and industry-specific markup tools have been enhanced for easier use. New shared reviews streamline collaboration. Review initiators can enable users of free Adobe Reader 8 software to participate in shared reviews using intuitive Acrobat commenting tools. Collecting data from Adobe PDF forms is easy, as Adobe Reader 8 users can now electronically fill out, digitally sign, and locally save an electronic form and its data (when those capabilities have been enabled in Acrobat 8 Professional software and Acrobat 3D, Version 8.) And an enhanced interface lets users quickly choose the task or tool they need so they can get the job done even faster.

Acrobat 8 Professional
Acrobat 8 Professional includes a comprehensive set of tools for working with Adobe PDF. New and enhanced features make it easier than ever for workgroups and individuals in enterprises and industries such as Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and legal to collaborate more efficiently and more securely share critical data. With high-value Adobe PDF document workflows, enterprises can help improve productivity, reduce costs, and speed development of products and services.

Take advantage of interface enhancements, including new customizable toolbars and a new Getting Started screen that visually directs users to the most-often used tasks and help sections.

Easily convert documents created in the widest array of authoring programs, including Microsoft Office applications, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Visio, and Autodesk AutoCAD into Adobe PDF files.

AutoCAD files can now be converted to Adobe PDF significantly faster and shared with any user of free Adobe Reader software for review and commenting.

Users can group related but separate documents together in a single Adobe PDF package, which makes it easier to add, extract, search, and browse only those files that are needed while also keeping digital signatures and security settings intact.

Comments added to a document in a shared review are automatically stored on virtually any file server, Web server, network directory, Microsoft SharePoint workspace or WebDAV server.

Reviewers can view and respond to comments as soon as the comments are available, which helps reduce redundancies and speed the review process. Turn on intuitive Acrobat review and commenting tools in Adobe Reader 8, enabling users of the free software to add comments to Adobe PDF files.

Adobe Reader 8 users can also fill out, digitally sign, and locally save Adobe PDF forms when enabled in Acrobat 8 Professional. Automatically add interactive form fields to static Adobe PDF and Microsoft Office files.

Aggregate forms automatically into an Adobe PDF package and export the data to a spreadsheet. Easily remove sensitive information, including metadata, from Adobe PDF documents.

1.0 out of 5 stars Think twice before buying it..., 12 Mar 2008
You might want to spare yourself the grief that I had to go through after spending over £400 pounds for a program that does not run after install and reboot. It just freezes on first startup, no matter what you do, and even after applying both 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 patches from adobe.

This is absolutely unbelievable!!!

Going through the adobe user forum for acrobat 8 pro, this problem have been going on since Feb 2007. I can't believe that this is supposed to be a "professional" product.

There is apparently a fix now for vista but I won't bet my money on it.. Win 2000 and Xp users still have no fix. Doesn't matter if you have the latest service packs and updates. Doesn't matter how you install it. None of the tech-support suggestions work. I've even gone to the extent of reinstalling windows XP and making sure there isn't any other conflicting applications or antivirus software. Waste of time.

Worst of all is that you cannot uninstall it either. None of the "methods" on the adobe support site works. All 1 GB of the full install. Stuck on my hard disk. Paid £400 to download junk code on to my hard disk!!! Makes me feel like a real idiot!!! This is a first after using computers for 15 years.

This is the last time I'll be buying anything from Adobe. This release clearly has not been beta-tested in the real world setting, despite targeting the enterprise market.

I would give this minus 5 stars, if that was possible!!!. I've never felt so cheated before in my life!!!

You've been warned.

PS The Adobe Acrobat 8 licensing service patch for Windows Vista work for me on my Windows XP with SP2, if you cannot get to the product activation window on first start-up.

Once I installed the patch, I could complete the activation process and Acrobat 8 Pro works normally now.

However, other users (including Vista) still seems to have problems. Looks like this patch will only work for systems that "freeze" just before the activation screen.

Good-luck

1.0 out of 5 stars Predictably poor, 16 Dec 2006
By Portaderry (Derry, N Ireland) - See all my reviews
Essentially, this program used to generate PDF files, should be without flaws. The concept to combining pictures, documents etc and making comments seemlessly in one file, is an ability which must be respected in this age of computing and all its incompatibilities.
However, Adobe software is notoriously unstable. Even the Reader with this program crashed frequently. I'm not sure why exactly this is, maybe Adobe themselves know. There seems to be endless problems with existing version 5,6 files. But two things are for sure. This version 8 is very unreliable to the business user and far far too expensive, especially when there are sister prorams from other companies which do the job much better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Scanning problems, 30 Jun 2008
By Thomas J. Minogue - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like some of the posters above I feel completely cheated with the Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I could not get it to work on Dell PC which was pre-set with Vista so went on to my other Dell PC which has XP.

When scanning documents using an Epson DX4400 printer/scanner if I quickly click on the the scan tab on screen I might be lucky and get the scanner to work but even then after a few scans I get an Adobe error report saying the programme will have to end and do I want to send an error report etc. etc.

I would like to give Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional a minus rating but that is not an option on this site. The product is pure crap.
