Acrobat 8 is shipping!
Well, the wait is over! Acrobat 8 (Standard and Professional) are available for purchase and download from the
Adobe.com store and the trial (Acrobat 8 Professional for English, French, German, and Japanese) is available for download (
www.adobe.com/tryacrobat). If you're looking for a shrink-wrap box (and not ESD) - it should be on the shelves of your favorite computer store by Monday.
Adobe Reader 8 will be available in a few weeks for download. Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 Premium will be available on November 8th.
Also - the
brand new Acrobat Connect trial is available. Just click the "Start Meeting" button in Acrobat 8 and you'll be able to subscribe and get your own personal meeting room. If you don't have Acrobat 8 yet, don't worry - you can go directly to the
sign-up page. And if you want to learn more about Acrobat Connect - we have pages available for you to
review.
Comments
Lori - one of the features mentioned in the marketing write-up for Acrobat 8 and that I've seen in the app talks about enabling the review/commenting features for Acrobat Reader users. I have a couple questions about this which hopefully you don't mind answering.
1. Does it work in context of the web browser plugin for Acrobat as well as offline? In 7, it worked, but only for offline reviews.
2. Does this only work in Acrobat 8 or does enabling the commenting features then also allow web-based reviews in Reader 7 as well?
Thanks!
