Colossal pain in the *&@! [Posted on 2008-07-23]
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has been a source of frustration. Conflict between Adobe's PDF Maker add-in and Microsoft Office 2007 causes the Microsoft application to crash. Adobe's add-in is automatically disabled by Word, Excel, etc., so you can't make an Adobe PDF while using a Microsoft application. If you enable the add-in in Word (a tricky process in itself) and then try to create an Adobe PDF from a Word file, Word crashes. But now you can create a PDF from a Word file when you are in the Adobe application! Major heartburn! I wish I had stayed with Adobe Acrobat 5.0!

On Adobe's website there is a TechNote that will guide you through no less than FIVE solutions (three printed pages) to help you resolve the conflict between Acrobat 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2007. Buy Adobe Acrobat 9.0 only if you are prepared to do battle with the default settings in Microsoft Office 2007.

Terrible Software [Posted on 2008-08-03]
This is the Windows Me of all Windows. If I have an alternative, I will absolutely not to spend $500 to buy this software. It is slow. It crashes all day long. It does not follow any kind of standard. The LiveCycle Designer is a joke! The entire product is like some high school kid wrote it in the garage.

The only thing that is good that I can think of is the built-in Javascript debugger.

Stay away from this product if you can.

Good luck [Posted on 2008-08-14]
The product is mediocre on a good day.

Support is non-existent. Call support, be on hold for 30 minutes, then 10 minutes of proving you are a real customer, then back on hold for 30 minutes and the line hangs up on you. So, if you are foolish, you start all over. I did not.
