More than just a tool to view PDF files, Adobe's Acrobat 8.0 Professional is a full-fledged suite for creating PDFs for Web, print and other applications. Released in 2007, it includes tools to combine PDFs together, index them and even to do optical character recognition to convert scanned page images into editable text files. Adobe also included its LiveCycle Designer program to offer the ability to create complicated forms in PDF format.

Processor and Memory Requirements

The Windows version of Acrobat 8.0 Pro needs a computer with a Pentium III processor or its equivalent running at any speed. Adobe requires the computer to have at least 256MB of RAM, but recommends twice that -- 512MB. Macs need the same memory as Windows computers, and can run Acrobat Pro 8.0 on G3, G4, G5 or Intel processors.

Computer Requirements

Windows users need a CD-ROM drive to install Acrobat, while the Mac version comes on a DVD-ROM. Both platforms have to be configured to support a screen resolution of 1024-by-768 pixels. While the Windows version requires 860MB of hard disk space -- although Adobe recommends setting aside an additional 460MB of cache space -- the Mac version fits in 1060MB.

Operating System Requirements

On the Mac, Acrobat 8.0 Pro requires Mac OS X. Adobe certifies the program to run under version 10.4.3, specifically. The Windows version can run on Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP or Windows Vista. It supports 64-bit versions of every operating system except Windows 2000, as well.

LiveCycle Designer Requirements

LiveCycle Designer 8 only runs on Windows -- it's not included in the Mac version of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8. Adobe certifies it to run on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and the tablet, home and professional versions of Windows XP. It requires a Pentium III processor running at 450 MHz or faster.
