If you know what you need and want ....

Today there are a lot of ways to convert files into PDF. One of them - and certainly the most expensive - is Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro. That's why I can advance even turn out that you should think about why you buy this program in this issue and do not want to access cheaper option. The professional solution from Adobe makes perfect sense when you know why you want to have it. For most individuals, this should certainly not be the right and above all necessary choice. But this is the decision of each individual. As I have often create PDFs for commercial use, I go very well with the solution from Adobe and place here my personal review.

For me, the program runs the way on a computer with Windows XP (SP3 32bit), MS Office and the Mozilla Firefox.

== Delivery Handling: ==
Included with the CD was available. Point. None is a book. Well, that surprises no longer too much. For the price it would have been a nice feature. So the help is only possible online (via F1) and unfortunately, almost everything should be read only in English there at the moment. I am the English language, although quite powerful, it is difficult to find but the corresponding menu items (the instruction is English; the surface of Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro but German). This is extremely customer-unfriendly. I have the advantage of having worked with predecessors of this program. So I'll manage somehow. But a beginner or someone who is expected to find a German manual for the German edition of a program to experience his surprise.

== To install: ==
After inserting the CD insert and starting the installation, the process takes about 10 minutes. During installation I was asked a number of programs running in the background to close. These were not only the MS Office programs, but also, for example, the browser (Firefox). After installation, then found in each program a new menu item and a new toolbar of Acrobat.

== For handling: ==
The menu is small and few, but meaningful toolbar icons facilitate a working (The condition is that you bring some experience and knowledge particularly in the symbols. For newcomers, all is not self-explanatory.)

== What can Acrobat Pro XI: ==
- Faithfully convert (from Office documents and HTML pages) into a PDF. Reference only means that eg save the structure. For example, the created directories in the original document. Also stored in the PDF links work.
- PDF files can also, if you are suitable for this purpose (not protected), are converted to their original (eg in a Word document)
- Creation of electronic forms (PDF or web forms)
- Editing of PDF files (Text and images can be corrected directly in the PDF document, updated and adapted)
- Add notes
- Embedding multimedia content in an Adobe PDF document
- PDF document can be protected with user rights (relating to the allocation of a password) (no print possible, for example, no changes possible)

== My conclusion: ==
The program runs stable and reliable.

The help offered by Adobe at the moment is not really helpful because so far not everything has been translated into German. Since no manual is available, the inexperienced user is left in the lurch. That's a No for me and is a thick point deduction.

Since I mainly use this program is not for private use, the price is justified by the pdfs many functions and the stability of the created. I've also worked with many cheaper or free software. My experiences were often not positive because, for example, not a life-transforming was possible (the links in a document were gone at once).

All in all I am very satisfied with the program and really forgive like four star.
