Pro Extended also comes with Adobe Presenter, which plugs into Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 for adding interactivity to presentations. There are three versions of Acrobat 9: Standard at $299 or $99 to upgrade, Pro for $449 or $159 to upgrade, and Pro Extended for $699 or $229 to upgrade. On top of it all, Adobe offers an online community at that facilitates online collaboration so users can store documents and literally work on the same page at the same time. In turn, users of Version 9 of the nearly ubiquitous and free Acrobat Reader will be able to watch movies, play interactive games, and run applications baked into PDFs without opening a third-party media player.Īmong the many new, dynamic features to justify a business purchase of Acrobat 9 include dynamic maps, enhanced 256-bit encryption, and improved forms. For the first time, PDFs can 'talk' via embedded Flash video and Shockwave animation. The introduction of Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software could do for PDFs what the 'Jazz Singer' did for movies. This update should be worthwhile for security-minded businesses and creative firms. Forms, security, and overall ease of use are also enhanced.
With Acrobat 9, Adobe's PDF creation and editing program brings new Web relevance to print-ready PDFs by enabling embedded video and animation.
