Acrobat 8 Update for Leopard the last big patch for 10.5?

Though it hasn’t been posted as a downloadable file on Adobe’s site yet, an update to Acrobat 8 Professional that brings the app up to v8.1.2 is available. To access it, go to the Help menu in Acrobat 8 Professional and choose “Check for Updates” and it should make itself known to you.

According to Adobe blogger Adam Pratt this update represents “the last big patch…to achieve a streamlined Leopard system.” Having not upgraded my production machine to Leopard and because I rarely do any strenuous graphical “lifting” on my Leopardified MacBook Pro, I’m wondering if Pratt’s statement is in fact true: is the Adobe Creative Suite now officially Leopard-ready? How have your experiences been so far? Let us know in the Forums.
