What is the difference Adobe Reader & Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

Why should Information Technology upgrade to Adobe Acrobat X Pro, what are the benefits over Reader?

Reader can view, print, fill in, (sometimes) sign PDFs.
Acrobat can create PDFs, create fill in forms, enable Reader processing, do print production tasks, scan, do OCR, do limited editing, run batch actions, and support a variety of third party plug-ins. However, you can no longer purchase Acrobat X Pro, the current version is 11 (XI).

  • What is the difference btwn Reader and Acrobat Pro?

    Hello,
    My Requirement in broader sense: I am developing an VISITOR Info. Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
    When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)" (pls. let me know what is the correct forum for me to post my questions)
    My 1 sub-set of my Requirement: Front desk guy want to open this VISITOR Info form and enters addresss details + attaches some ID proof photo copy of JPEG format + Writes some COMMENTS in the form
    Pls. let me know
    1) is my software inventory is enough to go ahead and develop a interactive form (as mentioned VISITOR Info)? or do i need any more software?
    2) I saw Acrobat Pro version 10.x.......do i need this softaware as well to get my requirement done (VISITOR Info)?
    3) What is the difference between Reader 9.0 and Acrobat Pro 10.x?
    Thank you

    Thank you.
    Yes, here am confusing! If i create the forms with Acrobat, then, why do i need LiveCycle designer?
    Pls. let me      know what do you mean "Create forms", is it like writing a letter/some text like MicroSoft word doc and finally saving it on our local machine/desktop?
    THank you

  • What is the difference twixt Reader 9.x & 10.x

    What are the differences twixt Reader 9.x & 10.x and what are your opinions on them (Pro & Con).
    Thank you...

    Well, I was under the impression that the major difference is that 9.x is here for us PPC users while 10.x is for the "newer" Mac Intel, OS 11 users.
    Kind of keeping us in the loop, unlike WoW did ;^)

    What is the difference between Read Later and Read Later Fast?

    I have been...they both seem to do the same thing. Since they both seem to also be Mozilla software and not intended to compete with each other, I'm thinking I'm missing some advantage that one has over the other.

  • What is the difference between READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY  and  TABLE KEY

    Hi Experts,
    what is the difference between
    READ TABLE <ITAB> WITH KEY <K1> = <C1>
                                                    <Kn> = <Cn> .
    and 
    READ TABLE <ITAB> WITH TABLE KEY <K1> = <C1>
                                                              <Kn> = <Cn> .
    Thanks
    Akash.

    Hi akashdeep,
    Nice question. I also tried to find out, but no much success. My opinion is that for practical purposes there is no difference.
    It may have difference in case of searching, especially sorted tables. (binary search or normal linear search).
    Case1: If our table is sorted table with defined key fields, and we give WITH TABLE KEY, then faster binary search is used.
    Case2 : If our table is sorted table with defined key fields, and we give WITH  KEY, (and no field contained in the keys), then normal linear search is used.
    regards,
    amit m.

  • What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.
    Tell us how you use Acrobat, and what you do with it, and we can suggest improvements that were made in Acrobat X and XI Pro.

  • What is the difference between Gerforce 650M and Iris Pro

    I am wondering what the major difference between the Geforce 650M and the Iris Pro.
    I know the Geforce is a dedicated graphics card and the Iris Pro is intergrated, but in terms of performance what is the
    difference.

    Search Google for any benchmarks. This is not the place.

  • What's the difference between this and Acrobat 7.0 Pro?

    I don't understand what the difference is between this product and Acrobat 7.0.5 Professional... I can view 3d enabled PDFs in 7.0.5 Pro.
    Is this tool a superset of Acrobat 7 Pro that facilitates creation of this 3D content?

    Actually, the Mac story is a bit more complicated than has been reported. The Acrobat 3D (authoring) product is currently available only on Windows. The new Adobe Reader 7.0.7, which contains the enhanced 3D viewing and collaboration features mentioned in the press releases, will be available simultaneously on Windows AND Mac. The Unix ports mentioned are only for capturing OpenGL streams from applications on Unix and creating PDFs from them, the entire functionality of Acrobat 3D is not currently available on Unix.
    I cannot comment on if and when a Mac version of the authoring tool (Acrobat 3D) would be released. Content produced on Windows, however, will be viewable on the Mac and can be collaborated on on the Mac exactly as on Windows, using the Adobe Reader. A lot of work was done on the Mac to make this happen.
    As far as OpenGL Capture, you can theoretically capture any output that displays using OpenGL on Windows or the Unix systems that Acrobat 3D supports. However, that said, we sometimes run into applications that do not capture properly. We tested with a number of important CAD applications so that we could make sure that capture worked from them, but we were, obviously, unable to test capture with all OpenGL applications. If you find one that does not work, please report it as a bug against the product.
    Hope this helps.

  • What are the difference is read/write speeds of PATA (ATA 100) and SATA?

    I am thinking of putting a SATA HDD in my Super Drive bay of my Early 2008 MacBook Pro (NON-Unibody) and I am currious of what the difference is in speeds of these connectors. The optical drive's connector is an ATA100 and I found a OptiBay that converts the SATA into ATA100. I know there is a difference but only plan on putting Music and other media files on the HDD. Thanks for any help!

    This is the adapter I found and it seems to be what I am looking for. What do you think?

  • What are the differences between Mac Air and Mac Pro?

    What are really the main differences between the Macbook Air and the MacBook Pro?
    I am thinking of getting a laptop by mac. I like the prices of the Air but the Pro seems better performance.
    However my needs are internet, email, word processing and some photos, pictures etc.
    would i still be able to do many good applications on the Air vs the Pro?
    suggestions please?
    thanks

    The base model current 2013 Air will perform faster and better in general than the base model 13" non-Retina Macbook Pro.
    Ive got both of them. 
    On the Air:
    Faster wifi (by far) 802ac
    Faster boot and read/ write due to SSD
    Much longer battery life due to Haswell upgrade made in June
    Crisper sharper screen, better to stare at for long periods
    MUCH FEWER parts to go bad,.....also only one moving part, the Fan
    No HD to crash from mechanical failure
    Packing the AIr around is a dream since is nearly the weight of an Ipad.
    Dont get fooled like most do in seeing the super-skinny AIr as less than a full power machine, ....thats always someones first huge mistake when they see one.
    Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

  • What is the difference between Premiere CS6 and Premiere Pro CC

    Is there a difference between the two programs?
    I am debating if to buy the Premiere CS6 or to subscribe to the Premiere CC in the Adobe Creative Cloud.

    Your answer is clear but does not address my situation. I have only a Creative Cloud (monthly) subscription (no purchased version of CS6). When I first acquired Adobe Master Collection CS6 in the spring, Creative Cloud installed it and has provided periodic updates to it. Now I have downloaded and installed Premiere Pro CC, resulting in two versions of PP, both installed and maintained by Creative Cloud. While many of the installed CS6 programs have cousins labeled CC, not all of the installed apps have a CC version. I'm not understanding why Adobe does not simply come out and say to uninstall the CS6 versions (or do it automatically when a CC version is installed), or otherwise clarify where all of this is going.
    I emphasize again that I never bought a version of CS6 that was installed directly onto my computer. All CS6 programs were originally installed via Creative Cloud. Confusing and definitely not the Four Seasons level of product/service that I expect from Adobe.

    Hi Volker Bedach,
    Serial number is required to activate the software. It is a 24 digit number.

  • What is the difference between iPad 3 and macbook pro

    I was going to buy an ipad 3 o macbook pro but Im not sure if I should send extra and get a macbook pro or get and ipad 3 which does just about everything I want to do

    Unfortunately, most of the apps you listed are more like toys on iOS compared to the dekstop counterparts.
    But they may be perfectly adequate for the original posters intended use (as they are for the thousands of people who use them daily). And iPhoto on iOS has a few features the desktop version doesn't yet.
    One cannot really consider the iPad as a serious (doing more than just creating some quick holiday videos / edit photos) programming / video or image editor tool.
    Professional musicians have created whole albums on the iPad. http://www.t3.com/features/gorillaz-ipad-album-how-it-was-made
    Music videos have been created on the iPad: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/03/17/music-video-shot-with-only-an-ipad-2/
    How seriously it can be used depends on what you are using it for, and your intended end result. Obviously it's not going to create the same type of work that can be created using $5000 worth of desktop computer and pro software, but then it cost 1/10th of that.
    As we don't know panuccio11's intended usage (serious, fun, pro, amateur) we can't really say if it will suit his needs. But it's not correct to say it can't be used to create content, as the above examples and available apps prove.

  • What's the difference between Acrobat and Livecycle?

    I'm creating forms for a very large company.
    What's the difference between Livecycle and Acrobat?
    I have been creating them in Livecyle - they need to be filled out and emailed (not just the data, the completed form).
    Can I create it in Livecycle and save it as Acrobat?
    Can it be edited in Acrobat after it's created?

    acrobat.exe is part of Adobe Acrobat and acrord32.exe is part of Adobe Reader.
