Amazon.com Review:
Any business that requires documents to be shared, reviewed, and editedacross broad networks will undoubtedly benefit from Adobe Acrobat 5.0. If you'venever used Acrobat before, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to convert Officedocuments and Web pages to PDF files (portable document format). If you alreadyuse Acrobat, new features and enhancements--including the ability to uploaddocuments to Web sites and intranets--make this version a worthwhile upgrade.

Installation is quick and easy; within 15 minutes of opening the box we weresaving Web pages as PDF files and adding comments to our documents. New usersmay want to take a tour around the help sections (either online Help or tooltips) to get acquainted with the program. In addition, checking out the helpsection will ensure you don't miss out on some of the more hidden featureswithin the application, such as color management and timesaving Windows and Macshortcuts.

One of the most important new features of version 5.0 is the ability to developnew documents from PDF files. You can now save the PDF file to Rich Text Format(RTF), and then edit the document using your word processor. Another importantnew feature is the ability to create interactive forms, which actually look alot like their paper counterparts. And once you figure out how to upload theseforms to your company intranet, you can share them with all relevant teammembers. Team members can even sign these forms, using a password-protecteddigital signature.

As always, the ability to comment on documents and Web pages remains animportant reason to use Acrobat. A toolbar on the left-hand side gives userseasy access to the list of comment tools, which range from highlighting tools,note boxes, pencil and line tools, and strikeout tools which let you erase linesof text. Once you've marked up a file or Web page, you can send the file to teammembers, business contacts and clients. As long as they have the Acrobat Reader(available free from Adobe's Web site), they should be able to read these files. And Acrobat retains the quality of your documents when you print them, so youdon't have any nasty surprises when you pick up your documents from theprinter.

Companies with employees in different physical locations can only benefit fromAcrobat 5.0. While version 4.0 is obviously still a strong and very usefulproduct, upgrading to Acrobat 5.0 promises a host of Internet-ready new featuresdesigned to accompany your business to the next level of high-speedcommunication. --Gisele Toueg

Amazon.com Review:
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is PDF-creation software, direct from thecompany that first established the PDF standard. PDF stands forportable document format, and it remains the best way to formatdocuments so they can be read by anyone on any platform. Version 5.0brings significant improvements, particularly with regard to itsinteraction with other leading software, such as the Microsoft Officesuites and programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator.

Installation is easy. Included in the installation is a function buttonadded to Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Whenyou've written a document in these programs, simply click the PDFbutton on the toolbar and it will guide you through saving it as a PDF.Anyone with Acrobat Reader--free and available for download fromAdobe's Web site--can view the documents.

You can also upload these documents to Internet sites, or ontonetworks. This is a key feature of this version. This Web-savvyfunction means you can post documents on an intranet or a network, andother users can simultaneously view, write on, edit, highlight, andstick notes on it using Acrobat's tools in their browser windows. Thishas obvious merit for anyone running meetings where not all attendeescan be physically present.

You can place graphics from leading software products such asIllustrator and Photoshop into these PDFs, and when clicked on later,they will launch the original creation program if editing is needed.You can also create and add digital signatures to the PDF file, and,once the key is exchanged with your chosen recipient, security of thedocuments will be assured, as only the recipient can open them.

All in all, Acrobat 5.0 should be an essential toolbox element foranyone who needs to share documents. It is easy to use, createsextremely high-quality items--whether business spreadsheets, brochuresfor customers (it maintains the integrity of the onscreen version onprinters, guaranteeing that the look you intended is rendered to a highquality) or Web sites--and ensures that security is maintained throughsignatures, and through the fact that only the creator can edit theoriginal file. --Alison Jardine

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Value, great seller
After reading the reviews I was confident that this seller would do honest business. They did exactly that. The product was exactly as described and arrived in a timely manner.

I would do business again with this seller.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - And oldie, but goodie!
I bought an older version of Adobe Acrobat for the sole purpose of creating PDF files. The CD arrived in great shape, installed on Windows XP perfectly, but the only complaint I have is due to this product's age, I can no longer open PDF files online within my web browser. But it's no big deal.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Adobe Acrobat 5.0
I was familiar with this product before I purchased it. I was leary about purchasing it without the manual or other documentation -- just the CD -- but I took a chance, based on Amazon.com's reputation for standing by their processes.
The product arrived exactly when and as promised and was also authentic and registerable. I am delighted with it. I found this product to be easy to learn and use immediately. It will take some time to learn everything about it, but the "help" options are excellent ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is the best deal going right now for Acrobat
By the time I was done reading the reviews for Adobe Acrobat 6.0 I was depressed. Not only do I not have Windows XP, or Windows 2000, or NT installed in my machine (The only operating systems that will work with 6) I also couldn't muster up the confidence in the product after so many people were giving it the thumbs down. I want to create an eBook, and Adobe Reader is the most popular reader out there, with some 400 million, to a half a billion users with it installed. What a dilemma. I kept coming back ...
