Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is PDF-creation software from the people who first established the PDF standard. PDF (Portable Document Format) remains the best way of making documents that can be read by anyone on any platform. Version 5.0 brings significant improvements, particularly with regard to its interaction with other leading software such as the Office suite and programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Installation is easy and features a function button added to Office applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. When you have written a document in these programs, simply click the PDF button on the toolbar and it will guide you through saving it as a PDF. Anyone with Acrobat Reader, which is free and available for download from Adobe's Web site, can view the documents. These documents can also be uploaded to Internet sites, or onto networks. This is a key feature of this version. This Web-savvy function means that documents can be posted on the Intranet or a network and other users can simultaneously view, write on, edit, highlight and stick notes on it, using Acrobat's tools within their browser window. This has obvious merit for anyone who has meetings not everyone can attend. Graphics from leading software such as Illustrator and Photoshop can be placed into these PDFs and when clicked on later will launch the creation program if editing is needed. Digital signatures can be created and added to the PDF file so that once the key is exchanged with your chosen recipient, security of documents is assured as only they can open it. All in all, Acrobat 5.0 should be an essential part of the toolbox of anyone who needs to share documents. It is easy to use and creates extremely high-quality items, whether business spreadsheets, brochures for customers (it maintains the integrity of the on-screen version on printers, ensuring that the look you intended is rendered to a high-quality) or Web sites. All this can be achieved within a guaranteed-secure environment. --Alison Jardine

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy acrobat 6 unless you really need it, 25 July 2004

Andrea Monti (Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Acrobat 5.0 Win (CD-ROM)
Acrobat 5 is fairly fast and light. Run well under MacOS X Panther. Most of its job is done without using "sci-fi features" I currently use both the Mac and Win version and got no problem at all.
Acrobat 6 - as, for all I can see, the whole CS series - is heavy and slow (on a 1,25 Mhz G4 with 1 gig of RAM). Unless one needs some very high level feature, is better to stay sticked to the previous version.

4.0 out of 5 stars On the whole - very good, 7 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Acrobat 5.0 Win (CD-ROM)
Adobe Acrobat 5 is a must buy for you businessmen who are fed up of making documents and your colleagues not being able to view them because they don't have the (normally) expensive software. You can create stylish documents that almost anyone can read, and along with the ability to convert entire web pages to PDF format, you are on to a real winner here. Sometimes, though, if your computer isn't up to scratch it does crash because the program uses a lot of memory while writing the PDF file, but it doesn't take away the fact that it is still a very useful piece of software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adobe PDF is the best way to send people documents., 25 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Acrobat 5.0 Win (CD-ROM)
Some people misunderstand Acrobat. Its not a document creation tool - you should use Word, PowerPoint, AutoCAD, Project or Visio for that. What it does enable you to do is share these documents with collegues - despite the fact they may not have Microsoft Visio for example - yet you get a document that looks just like the original, with all the fonts, branding, layout and hyperlinks being just as you'd intended. Better still, when the document is converted to PDF, its half the size of the Microsoft/other original, so its easier to email - and the document is protected so that others cannot alter it - great in times of Enron et all for my sales forecasts, accounts and legal documents.

Turning a Word Document into an online eForm makes it worth the money - holiday requests, expense sheets, purchase orders etc.
