Instead, the attention-getters in this version of Acrobat are about improving the way people work together on documents.

This isn’t to suggest that the changes to PDF file writing and evaluation are insignificant - and I will cover those changes in the section below called “Enhanced and New Print-Production Features” - but they don’t turn heads. With Acrobat 9 Professional, and the sister Acrobat Reader 9, Adobe has left well enough alone and modestly enhanced the basics of this 15-year-old workhorse product: enhanced color conversion, Overprint preview, better preflighting, layer control, etc. Yes, print shops still need to fix or tweak customer PDFs, but for the most part the PDF files churned out by page-layout and other applications do what they’re supposed to do. And it felt like we were reaching that point with PDF.

The ultimate measure of success for an open standard such as PDF is that it becomes so pervasive you no longer need anything special to make it work. I understand that such decision has been taken by Adobe greedy sales managers, but I will try to find a competitor to Adobe that has a decent sales policy.Pros: PDF portfolio creation, Flash support, better color conversions, highly accurate document comparison feature, layers.Ĭons: Out of cycle with Creative Suite upgrade, it’s a big (almost 1 GB) application, and many new features will only be practical when Acrobat Readers are upgraded over time. The consequence is obvious, if you download Acrobat XI for $200 and your hard disc crashes two years from now, then you will not be able to download your Acrobat using your serial number,Īnd Adobe sales people will advise you to buy the next version of Acrobat for another $200 or probably more. To download their program on a new computer. The number is correct, but Adobe decided to prevent owners of older versions of Acrobat He directed me to the sales person who asked $200 for the downloaded version of Acrobat XI, but this price does not include CD with Acrobat XI version.Īt this stage I realized that the message 'invalid serial number' is just a lie. Needless to say I have checked and rechecked the serial number indicated in ' my account' but the same message was displayed.Īn attempt to solve the problem by talking to the 'Adobe help' person a Mr. I have tried to download my Acrobar9 ProExtended using the procedure indicated by Adobe, however a message ' invalid serial number' was displayed.
