What is useful that is in the newest Adobe Acrobat writers that isn't in Adobe Acrobat 6?Years ago, when "acrobat" uniquely meant the writer (and
not the reader!), I would buy it every time they upgraded (from 4, to 5 and then to 6 & 7).
But two things annoyed the heck out of me such that I stopped buying it.
1. There was nothing new or useful in the newer versions, and, 2. The Acrobat 7 was super annoying in that it wouldn't work offline.
After the Acrobat 7 fiasco, I gave up on buying new versions.
I've been happy ever since.
Whenever I need to EDIT a PDF, I just edit it (either change the text a bit or sign with the pencil tool, for example). I can delete pages. Rotate
them. Add pages. Whatever I need to do I can do with Acrobat 6.
About the only thing I can't do is Adobe pulled the same tricks Microsoft
did by making some versions of the PDF incompatible - but that is so rare that it only happens to me once in about 3 to 5 years - and usually that's solved by asking the sender to PDF it at a lower version level.
Usually it only happens with encryption which can easily be removed anyway (using GSView with Ghostscript "convert using PDFWrite" free utilities).
I just installed v6 on my Windows 11 PC and the installer complained.
But it worked.
But I couldn't get the Adobe Acrobat 6 (writer) to be the default.
Every time I tried to set it, Windows 11 ignored the setting.
No problem. I can start the Adobe Acrobat 6 (writer) to open documents.
But I wonder....
What do you find that is genuinely useful that is in the newest Adobe
Acrobat writers that isn't in tried-and-true Adobe Acrobat 6 writer?
