Product Comparison

Hi All,
I am looking for an Adobe Reader or Acrobat programme, Id love to know a few points on what the main differences are between the two. I simply cannot see the correct forum to post this thread.
Anyhow the product needs to support online learning as a student.
Of course the product should also offer comprehensive A-Z education of PDF ability.
Acrobat 9 is quite expensive and Im wondering is there a cheaper alternative?
Product advisory should include ability to include flash imagery and still images.
Is it possible that some of the free versions might suit my needs?
All good advice welcome.

Bottom line is in the name of Reader. That is what it does. It can also fill forms and submit them (to a web site typically). The key is that Reader is free, but just reads and a bit more as allowed by the PDF developer in Acrobat.
Acrobat is the package that allows for creating PDF file, making them forms, doing limited changes (often with difficulty), and adding things to the PDF. Basically, Acrobat is a creation tool and Reader is a reading tool. Acrobat is not free, only Reader. Acrobat includes about 280 pages of a manual in the help. This is the standard approach for software documentation these days. May folks look for additional training resources and there are many, both free and for a cost (keep in mind that you often get what you pay for). I think that the online learning for Acrobat is an additional cost. Most folks just learn by doing and using the manual, though not always the fastest and most complete way to learn.
You asked for advice related to your needs, but did not state any needs. I would suggest just looking at the information that Adobe provides on their site. For Acrobat, there are a lot of comments and comparisons on their store site for Acrobat. I think that Reader is included in the comparison. There are all sorts of videos and such on the Adobe site about the products. The comparison is at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
This basically answers your questions at an overview level. The price is high and you can always look for some 3rd party products if most of the functions are not needed by you.

  • Creating a Product Comparison Chart

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about where I could find resourses/tutorials on how to create product comparison charts for a website?  I have some very basic knowledge of php and MySQL so is this something I could learn on my own or should I download some kind of plugin for it?
    Thank you!

    Why not use a table the way Adobe did for this Product Comparison Chart?

  • Product comparison color swatches

    Hello Everyone,
    I am implementing Product Comparison page. So i have to display color swatches in every product.
    I am using most of Out-Of-The-Box features to product comparison.
    In the repository level i have created clothing-sku and added to a product.
    Then i used /atg/store/droplet/ColorSizeDroplet to list down available color segments for given product.
    Still it returns empty color list.

  • Product Comparison Application

    Hi All,
    I attended an Abobe 'Fully Loaded Tour' today and during the
    Flash session, the presenter showed an application - in this case
    on a digital camera site where thumbnails of all cameras were
    initially shown. The user could then either move sliders or enter
    values directly, such as price range, mega pixels, card type etc
    and as these were chosen, the number of images (and therefore
    products) decreased or increased. A very effective product locator.
    I wonder if anyone has built anything similar? We develop a
    lot of e-commerce systems where data is stored in Access or SQL
    Server etc and thumbnails/detail images are available. What would
    be required is the flash interface and the admin interface to
    populate the flash application from the database.
    If anyone would be kind enough to point us in the direction
    of where to start, it would be much appreciated.
    Best wishes
    Dave

  • Help with product differences: Subscription vs. Non-Subscription

    Hello!  I have searched through the FAQs and read the product comparisons fairly extensively, yet I am still trying to wrap my head around the differences in product types.
    My main question:  Is every Adobe product now subscription based?  I am looking to purchase CS 6 Design Standard as a student.  I see a price for $349.99, but no indication as to whether this is subscription based. 
    I then visit the "Buying Guide" section, and see a price for CS 6 Design Standard as $1,299 amongst the comparisons of the other Packages.  I would prefer a full downloadable version of CS 6 Design Standard as opposed to a Cloud-based subscription.  I just don't like the idea of a monthly/annual charge for my design software. 
    I am a current user of CS 2, but I really need to upgrade to enjoy the new features of the software. 
    Thanks for the help!

    The $349 price is for the Student and Teacher edition of the software.  This is a prepetual edition of the software and is not subscription based.  The $1299 price is the full version price for users who do not qualify for the Student and Teacher edition of the software and do not qualify for upgrade pricing.

  • Product Comparision using Endeca

    Does Endeca support product comparision?
    If yes can someone porivde me supproting document to implement it.

    There is no out-of-the-box cartridge for product comparison as far as I'm aware, but it is pretty simple to implement - Endeca stores properties/dimensions against each record, so you just need to provide a mechanism for the customer to select the records to be compared, then either a way for the business to specify the attributes that should be displayed in the comparison rows, or alternatively dynamically display them (loop through each selected record and build a hashmap of all the dimensions/properties, then loop through this hashmap and write out the rows accordingly, including blanks if applicable or alternatively only rendering a row if all products/records have data for the corresponding property/dimension).

    3) In which situation we need to use RemoteHome & RemoteObject interface??
    Thanks in advance

    There is not much difference between Z77A-GD55 and -GD65. GD65 is a bit better than GD55 for oc and offers easy voltage check points. The slot layout is also a bit different. Looking at the price point the GD55 is m ost likely the better deal. You can compare mainboards using the following link:

  • Acrobat 8 Standard and X Pro

    I have Acrobat 8 Standard. I would like to be able to create forms that allow users to add info to fields and to be able to submit those forms. I have been looking over the info on X Pro but I am wondering if I order the software upgrade, will I need to upgrade my full version of 8 to 9 first, or can I get all of the functionality of X Pro with 8 Standard only?
    Thoughts?
    Thanks.

    No version of Acrobat Standard provides the full functionality of Acrobat Pro.
    The Pro release always provides more.
    If you want to create PDF forms that can be filled in and saved by others who use Adobe Reader you must use Acrobat X Pro (to "reader enable" the PDF).

  • The best Mac MTS Splitter-Editing/splitting AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos successfully on Mac

    I have recorded a long video with Sony HDR-CX700 Camcorder, but there are some parts I would like to cut off. I once thought a video converter is a must for cutting videos.But I search for a long time , found may spliter and converter just for windows, no MAC. Yesterday, my friend recommended me try Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac. Not only can help me  frame by frame cutting/splitting AVCHD without re-encoding, but also can help me convert mts to Apple ProRes and  AIC  codec for Final Cut Pro/ iMovie.
    I think should have many users need a program that allows for  (frame by frame) cut AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos files.If you are looking for any frame accuracy solution to do with the AVCHD videos encoded in MTS format on Mac,  Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac is the best choice for you. This is the first Mac software which can help HD camcorders users to realize frame by frame editing/splitting AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos successfully on Mac.
    Here I would like to demonstrate the simple steps to cut AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos files without re-encoding on Mac.
    Step 1. Load AVCHD MTS videos to Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac.
    - To load AVCHD videos from camcorder
    Connect camcorder to computer with USB cable, and run Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac, you will be asked to follow the wizard. Otherwise, click the Camcorder button to load camcorder videos.
    You can choose to backup the videos to computer or just import videos. Here we just select Import to add videos from camcorder to the program.
    Step 2. Add MTS files for split with no recompression.
    Click the Add movie button, and a movie for lossless output will be created by default. Select the MTS files you would like to cut mts from the Camcorder tab, drag and drop to the movie.
    Step 3. Split/Cut AVCHD video.
    From the timeline, you may notice the vernier, which is used as time pointer. Click on the Vernier, and move to the timeline you want to cut, and click the "Split" button to cut the video. You may also click the Split button when the video plays to the point you want to cut.
    Then click on segment you want to cut off from the timeline, and then click the Delete button next to the Split button to remove the unwanted part.
    Step 4. Export videos without conversion.
    Choose Export in the main interface, and click the OK button to get videos without recompression. You will get the cutted/splitted AVCHD without quality lost in a few minutes.

    I hear good things about ClipWrap. The other good one is Voltaic HD  from Shedworx.
    I suggest that you read their websites and choose the best one for you.
    I think they have demo versions.
    If you import directly from your camera, you don't need these.
    Also, for future reference, you can use the Create Camera Archive feature on the Import screen. This will save your AVCHD files exactly as they are on your camera, but it will also preserve the metadata from your camera so that iMovie can import it later. It is a good way to save the contents of your camera at its original size and full quality.
    When you import AVCHD into iMovie it is converted into Apple Intermediate Codec for better performance, but it will be a larger file size because it is less compressed.
    With ClipWrap, you have the option to keep the file at its original size, but I would not recommend this for performance reasons. (But you can try it if you have a powerful Mac).
