Appearance on the product:
The elaborate packaging (folding cardboard with a lot of product preview instead of a simple DVD Case) arouses expectations that are not quite fulfilled. Also, I've missed a printed manual. Even more so when I wanted to find out whether and if so how do I edit a Word file only in PDF and then convert it to a form ... form Central aroused example quite the impression, to be responsible for it was somehow not , and therefore would have liked to have women a printed manual. So to speak, for quick reference.
Instead, there is an online help.
The installation:
Ran smoothly on my laptop with 4 GB RAM and 2.1 GHz dual-core and without problems. Duration: Ca. 10 Mins.
Online registration:
First Serial, he would more like to associate 11 with a fixed Acrobat Adobe ID, and make it impossible to sell, and he attracts it with additional programs (which I could not use all of them) and better support. At first I left it, but for the full range of functions, it is in my view, but advisable.
In Use:
- Roughly otherwise as Acrobat 9, which I used a long time ago. The program will start on the no longer quite so new, powerful computer in a reasonable time, which is also important for me because I have it no more and every PDF reader open it. There are a couple of seconds, but overall it falls within the ambit.
- The organization, the assembly, the importing and exporting PDFs were not a problem for me. Photos, unfortunately I do not work so (mostly plain text), which I had no problems.
- FormsCentral is my new hatred program. I quote from the product description: "Design * with the new desktop application Adobe FormsCentral (included) within minutes PDF or web forms." Yes, what makes this program now? My guess: I want to create a simple form with 5 questions and matching fields, tap it in Word and save it off to then import it as a PDF file and provide you with the interactive fields. Where do I do that? Variant a) in the form of Central - variant b) in the main program?
I have found for me after registering the version and create an Adobe ID (especially for form Central), that I should do it in the main program. Create a form template from an existing PDF was without an online walking the form subroutine (for which the registration was necessary allegedly) impossible. After everything was logged, it still did not work. What a surprise! Woman then tried it in the main program and had just a few minutes a great form of a PDF. FormsCentral I do not need obvious and I think that somehow very irritating!
Conclusion:
In the PDF editing Adobe Acrobat separate and free or cheaper PDF editing programs still worlds. However, the Colossus needs a few moments to start, will have a lot of customer loyalty (registration, ID, online connection while working to make a call diligently home) and comes up with an "interesting" novelty? called form Central, which put me to shame. A printed manual would have been nice, and offered online help I do not like so real. Note to Adobe: You say it, with my Internet connection would be what is not okay ... how good it is the idea of an online help that I do not have available offline?
Overall, with a little good will makes things even 4 stars.
