Version: Adobe Acrobat Professional 8
Pros: Good program, but not without competition and flaws. It does everything one would expect fron a $449.00 PDF program and does it well. Many options with a very professional looking interface, but............
Cons: I can't call it the best, great or without issues. Nitro PDF Pro is faster, lighter on your system, about 18% the price of this and about 16x smaller as it installes at 58 MB on disk.and does everything I need in a program of this type. It runs great on both XP and Vista where Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 gives me fitts on my Vista Home Premium system.

Version: Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0
Pros: A nice application, very powerful. It is a really useful tool to have, even thought its not for everyone
Cons: For most people wanting to make pdf's a simple pdf printer plugin does the trick I think.

Version: Adobe Acrobat Professional 8
Pros: I guess it's still the best PDF editor around. But...
Cons: The install takes a long time and takes up 1.7GB of your harddisk space. Why in the world does it require so much disk space? (MS Office Pro 2003 only takes up a few hundred MB.) It is also very expensive at US$449. So people are going for the popular alternative - Nitro PDF Professional. It takes up only 40MB of disk psace and can do just about most of what Acrobat can or what the average PDF user requires. And it's only US$99.

"The original, but takes up too much space..."
Pros: Well... this is THE PROGRAM for converting to .pdf files. Adobe invented it so...
And sure it is a great program. You can create pdf:s, protect your pdf:s with passwords, make your pdf-documents unprintable, uneditable and so on.
You can do practically everything there is to do with a pdf-file.
The good thing about this prog. is that you've got it all in one application.
Cons: The BIG cons of this program is that it takes 1 GB of diskspace !!!
I've tried the pdf995-serie which takes about 1 MB and does exactly the same thing as Adobe Acrobat. But then you have to run 3 different programs to finish the file (1 to convert to pdf, 1 to edit and 1 to password-protect etc.)
