Except that Adobe have kept the server software really expensive. the trouble is there are enough banks and tax authorities to convince them that it is still not time to offer lower prices. In 7 it was possible with the Pro version to enable a PDf for comments. So a new option appears on the free Reader menu. (Reader is such a big download because it contains many functions of the full product except they are normally turned off..) Now in 8 the capability to save a form with data is also something you can enable. So maybe one copy of Pro per community is worthwhile.<br /><br />Meanwhile Adobe seem to think that Flash has a future in the enterprise. Their pricing is much more sensible. Even freebie server stuff. Acrobat Elements may be the low budget simple PDF creation people are asking for but there is a 1000 seat minimum, to be continued with 8 as I understand it. This is just silly so the clones have a useful contribution.will789gbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235107715610126666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-30778171291330092852006-09-29T18:01:00.000-07:002006-09-29T18:01:00.000-07:00I using http://createpdf.adobe.com/ at the moment ...I using http://createpdf.adobe.com/ at the moment still trial mode like I only needed it to cover two word files that some how to work with acrobat 7 on my system.

The online PDF creation uses none of your RAM and costs alomost nothing. Simply sign up for it at http://createpdf.adobe.com/<br /><br />We actually have a service that still allows you to do policy protection too via the service. Adobe recognizes the value of SaaS and we are committed to meeting all stakeholders expectations where we can do so in a viable manner.Duane Nickullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767498160563891543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-15978926495420419742006-09-29T16:35:00.000-07:002006-09-29T16:35:00.000-07:00While I'd like to be excited about it, I ain't. II...While I'd like to be excited about it, I ain't. IIRC, the only two features on the "welcome" page that weren't in version 7 are "merge PDF files" and the newly-renamed Breeze. All the rest (forms, security, signing, comments) were in version 7.<br /><br />And it appears that you don't actually get Breeze with the upgrade. You just get a 90-day trial with the option to license it after that for $40 a month.<br /><br />$160 for a merge-PDF feature and a trial version of Breeze is a mite steep.John Hattanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748966190134140467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-28696003439103617702006-09-29T15:51:00.000-07:002006-09-29T15:51:00.000-07:00I can see his point though, why shouldn't there be...I can see his point though, why shouldn't there be an Adobe endorsed simple (free?) pdf writer.

I will agree that a simple PDF creator would be useful, but if you're the type of person that's so stingy with RAM, I would expect you to know about the many open source PDF creation programs that are designed to work without all the bloat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-90116892214064705252006-09-29T14:57:00.000-07:002006-09-29T14:57:00.000-07:00Skip this upgrade and save $$$$, Does it still use...Skip this upgrade and save $$$$, Does it still use a hell lot of ram?, yes it does and it take even more now thanks to the useless welcome screen.<br /><br />The true is the only thing I want acrobat to make is make pdf files and do it in the bg and use as less ram and cpu power. I do not want any meeting crap or 3 programs more running in the program and so on. Is it so hard to put out a acrobat lite for people like me that only want it to just make pdfs!!??Anihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077083113160150795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-24592361202739173192006-09-29T14:09:00.000-07:002006-09-29T14:09:00.000-07:00Like when can we get it or something...?Like when can we get it or something...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
