Summary: 5 stars, but be sure you need it...
Review: For just about every user, it's more than likely that one would be better off saving the money and not getting this upgrade. Functionality hasn't changed, many other glitches that have existed since 2.0 still abound. Save your dough and wait until they drastically upgrade.What the importance of this particular upgrade amounts to is the few operations that have been made easier (working in conjuction with AutoCAD, etc.). But the all around use of the program is essentially unchanged. Do your research first.

Summary: Missed the Point
Review: OK. You shell out your money and purchase Adobe promising your web customers they can painlessly complete forms while on-line. You spend hours - days - months - converting your forms. Then learn you have just wasted your time. Customers can complete the on-line form and even send them to you, but they can not save a copy of their completed form to their C: drive unless they too own a full version of Adobe Acrobat! ...

Summary: Waste of time and money.
Review: I bought the 6.0 upgrade without reading the reviews. Woe to the foolish. It slowed WORD to a crawl, brought DtSearch to it's knees, and twice locked my system up so tightly I couldn't get the task manager open. I didn't waste any additional time seeing how slow it was at its own tasks. I'll take everyone's word for it. Less than one day on the machine. I've gone back to 5.0.

Summary: Lasted 1 day on my PC
Review: I downloaded an evaluation copy of Acrobat 6 before I read the reviews here. I can confirm what others are saying: unlike the upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0, 6.0 doesn't offer the average user additional usefulness over 5.0. It's also much slower to load and takes twice as long to creat .pdf files. The interface is completely different, so there will be a steep learning curve for users upgrading from previous editions. Sometimes, software developers just screw one up, and this one is such an upgrade. Pay close attention to the features you need: If you just want to print files to .pdf, you don't need all the stuff 6.0 offers. You'll never use 80% of the features they've added. After one day, I got frustrated, realized I didn't have the time to learn an entirely new piece of software so that I could simply continue to make .pdf files, and uninstalled it. Lesson learned: Check for reviews FIRST.

Summary: Really a mess
Review: It's obvious that Adobe feels safe and entrenched as THE maker of PDF creation software, because Acrobat installs like a herd of elephants moving in to your computer. It completely re-worked my MS Word toolbars and would not allow me to restore them the way I want them. (Even after un-installation, there is still something at work against my normal.dot template.) Other applications felt the impact, too. All I want is a way to make PDF files, not a new lifestyle.
Unfortunately, Acrobat 6 could not deliver the PDF files for me. On a P4, 1.8 Ghz system, I allowed it to process my Word document for 5 hours before I gave up and had to get some real work done. I went and found activePDF Composer, which handled the same Word file and delivered my PDF file in just 10 minutes.
Get over yourself, Adobe.

Summary: Like 6.0 Professional BUT it's causing system problems.
Review: I have only installed the 6.0 Professional and have the proper support structure and space. 6.0 Professional works fine but I have a brand new batch of glitches in the rest of my system.

Summary: Misrepresentation of Security Features
Review: I spoke with Adobe today and they confirmed my conclusions regarding their "security" features. While they state in their advertising and by phone through customer support that you can disable unauthorized people from saving, using "save as", and emailing files made secure by you, the originator, it is indeed UNTRUE. Confirmed today by phone, after close to a dozen calls, readers of "secure" documents, can indeed use the aforementioned commands to commandeer your proprietary documents and drawings. You can, however, get the features they claim to be included in version 6.0 (and upcoming 7.0) through Adobe Solutions, but to the expense of roughly $2000. As if this wasn't enough, once you get the software and start to use it, Adobe adds a disclaimer that users of some third-party, non-Adobe pdf viewers, can access your "secure" documents. Undoubtedly, the remaining features of their product are of great value, but these misrepresentations and untruths in advertising noteworthily deserve 1 star and a place in the hall of software shame. P.S. Version 7.0, soon to be released, has the same misrepresentations.

Summary: Best Acrobat Yet!
Review: This is absolutely the best version of Acrobat that Adobe has released! Whether you are a professional, intermediate or novice, this is the PDF software package for you!

Summary: Acrobat 6.0 Standard will not create fillable forms
Review: I upgraded from Acrobat 5.0 Standard to 6.0 Standard and promptly lost the primary function which I used the program for. In 5.0 Standard you can (and in 6.0 Standard you canNOT) take a regular PDF document and create fillable blanks and checkable boxes. In order to install 6.0 you are told to uninstall 5.0. You are told not to run both on the same machine. Once I uninstalled 5.0 I lost the functionality I needed.

Summary: Very good for our office
Review: We like the built-in OCR feature, which we use to make scanned documents searchable. We use the forms-creation feature a lot, and it has a lot of power that we don't use. (We saved money by buying the standard version for our users that do not need to create forms.) The document-annotation and review features are indispensable in our office. I like this version.
