 - Latest version compatible with Windows 2000I recently upgraded from version 6 and so far am very happy with this product. I originally downloaded version 9 from Adobe's web site, but didn't realize until I tried to install it that it doesn't work with Windows 2000. After some wrangling I got them to give me my money back, then bought the upgrade CD through Amazon. This is the first major piece of software I've encountered that won't work with Windows 2000. Rating: - Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 Upgrade from Pro V5+ [OLD VERSION] First - Kudos [...]! I've been a long time user of Adobe Acrobat products - back to the original version. I've upgraded periodically, but had stopped at Ver. 5 and 6. Version 8 finally had enough feature and interface upgrades to warrant me popping for the upgrade. I was VERY PLEASE with the new look and all the *new* features that I had been missing. Along with the new product came some downloadable or viewable tutorials which eased the pain of getting into all of the new features. ONE ISSUE! Within a week or two of buying 8.0 Professional - I was on the Adobe website and saw that Ver. 9 was already announced/released. Bummer! I was able to contact Adobe and qualified for the FREE update - but I wish that there had been some notification or automatic offer to upgrade the product at the time that I purchased it OR when it was registered. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product . . .but at this point . . .Go with Ver. 9! Rating: - Great ItemThe software does what it claims to do, Im very satisfied with it, i'm glad I upgraded. Rating:  - Upgraded from V6After reading the reviews on installation problems, I was a little nervous about installing this software. The installation could have been smoother, but it installed alright. Although it did detect my older version (Standard V6), and advised me to uninstall the old version prior to installing the newer one; when it came to verifying if I had a qualifying product the installation program could not detect that I had V6. Now it was requiring that I type in the serial number of the older version. Because of that I spent about 4 hours looking for the older software and software case that had the serial number for V6. After typing in the serial number of V6, the software installation continued without a problem. I like this software, and it is much faster then V6, though I haven't checked out all the features. I'm still evaluating this product. One thing I like about the Pro version is the built in OCR. It's not the greatest recognition software, but if your scanned document has standard type it does a good job converting. It does not perform well if the document contains fancy fonts; especially script fonts. Rating: - hdinapI upgraded from Acrobat Pro 6 to Pro 8 and have been pleased with some of the new features the Pro 8 version has. I haven't reviewed all of those features but the one I like very much so far is the "typewriter" feature. It's very convenient when I download a form from some other source and can just start typing in it. I'm sure I'll have many more surprises in store when I start converting Word docs also.
