Just a world of warning as well, do not update Pro 8. Many people have
found that updating (me being on of them) causes Acrobat 8 Pro to no
longer load. I tried uninstalling and starting from scratch, ran
through registry and removed every associated key I could find (took a
good hour and a half). Ended up reinstalling Windows completely. I
decided to not download/install/prompt for any updates. I figure it's
not broke so I'm not going to 'fix it' with any updates. Updating 8 did
the same thing, asked to restart over and over as well. I am waiting
for Xournal to catch up on the PDF annotating capabilities of Adobe
Acrobat Pro, then I can ditch this whole OS altogether :)
I get Acrobat Pro through our university for no charge and I'll bet I
could get version 8, so I'm glad you warned me.
The thing is, I don't have very sophisticated needs. I just want to write
very simple PDF documents, say from Word. I suppose I could dump Acrobat,
Word and Windows and use Open Office on Linux and get what I need that
way. I wouldn't be surprised if that would work great. I'm working on
transitioning. These days, with Ubuntu doing so well, I don't think it
will be all that tricky for me to get out of Windows altogether. As it
stands I do most of my work under Linux and/or Solaris, but I connect to
those machines from a Windows box -- why not cut out the middle man?!
