I have been trying to findout what to do about my upgrade issues on my
Family PC and my laptop. My office desk top is still XP. After reading a few
lines here it looks like Acrobat 8.11 is my answer. Is there no patch to fix
issues with 6.0? Can I just buy an upgrade version of 8.11 and load it on to
6.0 (I was able to load 6.0 but cannot use it on Vista machines).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I went through the same thing with Acrobat 5. I can open pdf files in
it, but can't do much editing. Adobe has not (and from my
understanding, will not) issued any patches. They prefer to abandon
their customers and force them to pay for an expensive and unnecessary
upgrade. I think it's shameful.

Microsoft is just as bad for not making Vista more backwardsly
compatible. I wish I had reformatted my hard drive and loaded XP when
I got my new computer. Vista hogs resources and doesn't give you much
in return except a pretty interface, much of which I've turned off to
release the resources for things I need more.

I have, however, found some freeware and shareware that can do what I
need Acrobat to do, so there are much cheaper alternatives out there
for manipulating PDFs. Just google PDF editor or PDF writer or
whatever you need and you'll find lots of stuff. I'm playing with the
free version of PDFill at the moment, but it's a little early for me
to venture an opinion.
