Summary: Won't install on Dell 8200 XP Home Edition !!!!!
Comment: Be very, very careful before you buy this product. Kept getting error 1303 about 3/4 of the way through when I try to install Acrobat 6 Pro on Windows XP Home Edition. Acrobat indicates in the error pane, that I do not have sufficient privileges for the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users area, and that I need to be an administrator. I am an administrator. I shut down all stuff that might be running in the background that might be accessing the above directory. The only thing I left running was the "Windows System installer" from the MSCONFIG program that comes with XP. Still no help. I even tried to install to another hard drive "H:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6, and the error comes up again saying the same thing and says it was trying to install on drive "C". What the heck's going on here? No help from Adobe or Microsoft!!! I'm going back to Version 4.

Summary: Adobe 6.0 Pro
Comment: I found this product to be well worth the upgrade. Documents look better and also compress much more effectively. The collaborative parts of this product work well. It is well worth the upgrade. I have not had the problems others have suggested in these reviews.

Summary: Hey, Amazon & Adobe, how about fixing your info?
Comment: I bought this product, but I shall never use it. In all of Amazon's ads I do not see any mention of the fact that this software is usable only with Mac OS X. On the Adobe box there is one little stick-on label that says this, but it is very small and easy to miss. It is not until you get into the "read me" files that you discover that you can't use this software with OS 8, 9, etc. By that time you have probably opened the box, inserted the CD Rom disc, and can no longer return the material. I cannot rate this software because I can't use it. On most of your other software ads you carefully list which platform and version the item is compatible with. You failed to do this here, and Adobe only did so after the customer is already committed. I'm upset. I can't afford to blow over a hundred bucks on something I can't use. (Oh, I know I can install Mac OS X, but I don't want to do that for a variety of reasons.) Bah!

Summary: Caution for Win98, Win98SE and ME Users!
Comment: If you don't already have XP or Win2K you'll need to upgrade your OS before migrating to Acrobat 6.0 Pro. The user interface alone made the upgrade worth it.

Summary: Critical update - if you create PDF's for web use
Comment: If you create PDF's for the web, then this is a must have for three reasons; first reason is due to compression. A 3.16 MB Word file created a 6.27 MB PDF in Acrobat 5. With Acrobat 6, that unaltered file is now a 3.06 MB Acrobat file. Second, that same file needed almost all links recreated in Acrobat 5 since they did not convert properly from Word. In Acrobat 6, all links were successfully converted, which saved me about 30 minutes. Third, you can create a PDF from within Internet Explorer.
