Differences between standard and pro versions

I was reading the comparision of these two Acrobat versions and for Pro it says:
Edit and enhance photos to add to your PDF communications with Adobe Photoshop® CS5.
Quickly transform static PowerPoint slides into compelling, interactive PDF presentations with Adobe Presenter       
Rapidly combine screen recordings, narration, video, slides, and more into a rich media experience with Adobe Captivate® 5
Does that mean that the Pro version includes Photoshop, Presenter and Captivate programs as well? Or, what are the differences? As an aside, the new look and feel of the Adobe website is confusing at best. Seems geared to being flashy, not useful.

Acrobat does not included those other packages. One of the pages that always struck me funny (maybe I have a twisted mind) but has this artistic background is the updates page. The background looks like a lacy bra to me. It is the first thing that comes to mind every time I see it. That is a problem with abstract images (that are typically unnecessary and waste bandwidth), that a lot is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, I have heard from many others that also see the bra.
OK, back to Acrobat. There are several aspects of Acrobat that allow you to have links to the other products built in, but they are not included. The page at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html?promoid=JIJYS provides some info, but a lot is missing. For instance there are differences with PDF Optimize and Reduce File Size I think (sorry, I do not have Std to check). One important one that is part of pro is the preflight option. Apparently Std does not include portfolios or allow PDF comparison according to the chart.
If you are into forms, then Std apparently will do them as AcroForms (my preference, partially because of familiarity), but does not include Designer if that was your preference. Some of the enabling for Reader is not available in Std. Also, Std does not allow embedding Flash. Std is limited for some of the products that include PDF Maker (not a big one for me, but might be important to you).
That is a quick summary based on the chart. However, be aware there are some other features that the chart does not seem to cover. For the difference between Std and Pro, I would suggest getting Pro. The big hit is the initial cost of the product, not the step up to Pro. In a business plan consider the time that might be wasted trying to do some of the things in Pro that are not in Std. Those are the types of issues to consider. Many folks consider the cost to be large, and for a small business it is. However, in the long term it may be worth the cost.
Keep in mind that many large CAD packages in engineering run about $30,000 for a single license, half the cost of the engineer that would use it. Some other tools are about $15,000. In that view, Acrobat is cheap (except for cheapskates like me).

    Enterprise vs Standard : technical view
    If you install Enterprise you must:
    - install Enterprise whith all the modules
    - apply the patch 8.1.5.0.1
    (if all the modules weren't installed, the patch fails because
    he tries to relink non installed products)
    If you install Stardard you must:
    - install Standard
    - no patch required !
    Enterprise vs Standard : package
    Standard is good enougth for a lot of purposes. It includes
    TextRetrival, Java inside the database, etc.
    With Enterprise, you can by additional products like Spatial
    data, Time Series, etc.
    Hope this helps,

  • Differences between standard and enterprise ??

    Hello everyone,
    Where could i find an exhaustive list of all the differences between Oracle 9i standard and Oracle 9i enterprise. Recently, i wanted to use a function based index but it is forbidden in Oracle 9i standard... Are there a lot of other "surprises" like this one ?

    This http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf is a reasonably exhaustive list of the feature differences between Enterprise and Standard. I believe it is complete, but can't guarantee it.

  • Difference between standard and actual activity rates

    Dear All,
    My client is having a process in which while downloading KOB1 the system is giving report of all the process orders wise  activities confirmed in that month against some cost center.
    Now when i am going into line item it takes me to process order confirmation display where activiies to be confirmed and activities yet to be confirmed are displayed.
    After that cost center report S_alr_87013611 is displayed wherein actual rates(quantity ) is displayed for that activities.
    Now the system shows difference between actual and standard activities.
    The difference is the calculated in excel on the basis of KOB1 report and difference is loaded process order wise  on calculation done in excel through LSMW (for transaction KB21n) wherein difference quantity is posted from cost center to process order.
    Now client needs automation in the sense that no excel calculation should be done and difference should be posted for that month for each process order in the ratio calculated in excel.
    Kindly provide any solutions if any, avaliable in standard or Z development has to be done.
    Thanks and Regards,
    VLM

    Dear AP,
    Have you any idea about how in above case Z development is to be done?

  • Differences between express and pro

    Hi:
    What are some key differences between the Pro and Express versions? I understand that Pro included in the studio package and express is a stand alone product. Anything else?
    Thanks!

    Express is limited to DV, HDV and some AVCHD codecs.
    Pro will handle just about any codec you throw at it and is scalable to hardware as well.
    DVD SP, LT, Motion, ST, Cinema Tools are included in Pro. Color as well which is worth the whole package.
    Only LT with Express I believe.

  • Standard and Pro versions compatible with Windows 7

    Hello
    I am looking for a list of Adobe Acrobat Standard and Adobe Acrobat Pro that are compatible with Windows 7. We are upgrading over 1000 computers to Windows 7 and we have many different versions of Adobe Acrobat writer Stndard and Pro.
    Thanks

    There are also issues with 32 vs 64-bit systems. The latter requires updating your version in general. Generally the initial releases have not worked in the 54-bit environment. There are many driver issues with 64-bit systems and probably should look carefully if 64-bits are needed. The 64-bit system is useful if you are computationally focused, but may not be much of an advantage in standard office environments. Just be careful. If you are installing OFFICE 2010, then you need AAX for PDF Maker compatibility -- prior versions of Acrobat only allow printing from the OFFICE 2010 suite. Some folks have been successful with AA8 on 32-bit Win7 (I have only seen 1 post that would suggest success with 64-bit Win7). Prior versions of Acrobat can be made to work on 32-bit Win7 systems, but require work arounds (i.e., the AcroTray tool that automates the conversion to PDF process fails in Win7). The 64-bit system will probably fail for most of the earlier versions in such cases.
    Realize that you may have to deal with Win8 shortly that has it's own issues.

  • Differences between US and UK versions???

    Hi.
    I'm about to buy a Black MacBook and am wondering about the differences between the 2 versions.
    I know the keyboard layout is slightly different. The UK version has a £ key and the enter key and "\" keys are re-configured. I'm also aware of the region coding on the DVD drive but once it's changed (first played movie) that won't be an issue. Are there any other obvious differences that I need to be mindful of?
    Thanks

  • Differences between Educational and Retail versions

    Question:
    What are the Differences between the Educational and Retail Versions
    of Photoshop?
    Answer:
    1). There is NO limitation on use of the Educational Version, only on
    aquisition of it in that you must meet the educational requirements to
    qualify for purchase.
    2. There is NO functional difference between the Educational and
    Commercial versions,
    3), The Educational version will always show the Academic splash
    screen even if you later use it to upgrade to a full Commercial
    version.
    4). Educational versions of Adobe software do not always ship with the
    'free goodies' such as fonts and clip-art that the full commercial
    versions include.

  • Difference between Standard and Regular Purch Org

    Regards
    Sameer

    Hi,
    If several purchasing organizations procure for a certain plant, you can define one of them as the standard purchasing organization for the transactions "pipeline procurement", "consignment" and "stock transfers".
    In source determination for stock transfers and consignment, the system automatically utilizes this standard purchasing organization. In the case of goods issues of pipeline materials, the purchasing info records of the standard purchasing organization are read.

  • Video -- difference between iPod and iPad versions?..

    Hello all -- I am wondering, what is the difference between "create iPod version" and "create iPad version"/... I searched teh Net and couldn't find anything on this topic. If you have already created a video for use in an iPod, can it also be imported into an iPad?? Additionally, what is the difference between the two versions? Thanks very much for any input. (We're talking iPod Classic and iPad2...)
    Nick

    the iPad is capable of displaying HD content (up to 720p), an iPod obviously is not. creating an iPad version will provide a file with higher resolution which will not play on iPod.
    a file created for iPod will play on iPad, however, will not look as good on it.

  • LabVIEW 8.5.1 Student edition - differences between Mac and Windows version?

    Hi,
    I've just bought the student version of LabVIEW 8.5.1 and am using Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions since the box came with a Mac installer CD and a Windows installer DVD?
    Cheers 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.
    It comes with 6 toolkits, and from the product spects, some (or all?) of those are windows only (at least in 8.5), e.g.:
    Digital Filter Design Toolkit
    Modulation Toolkit
    SignalExpress
    Since you have 8.5, you are also missing a few basic things that only recevied MAC support in 8.6, such as Mathscript, Control design and Simulation, and Native 3D graphs.
