Comments on: New Acrobat seen this year

Analysts and authors expect Adobe to release a new version of its publishing software soon.

Still no Linux Reader for 6.0

Adobe still has not released a Linux reader for Acrobat 6. Version 5 is an obsolete Motif program and has trouble reading some newer files. So much for cross platform support.

Great. How much slower is version 7 going to be over version 6!??!
Our company got a couple of test licenses for 6 for our graphics word / processing department. I got to play around with AB6 for a few days on my own system. How the heck can performance degrade so badly from one version to another!?!? Opening up the app itself takes aprox twice as long. Doing a search takes seconds to open up the search pane vs. instantaneous on V5.
Adobe better do some serious cleanup because 6 is a freaking mess.


But lets take John's advice from another post on this thread, and go build our own version of Acrobat writer! Come on who's with me!?! *rolls eyes*

I totally agrees.... v6 sucks

it is so frustrating to deal with v6. on download.com 71% said that v6 sucks... i added it on a few computers and had problems on all of them.....had to search around to load v5 again. and what is even more amazing is that acrobat seems to have ignored all the negative comments. im surprised it took them this long to come up with an improvement. i hope its not dumb and dumber.
