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.

You know, I swear sometimes half of the “new” features in the Adobe apps are simply old features that were unintuitively incorporated into previous versions or are the reimaginings of existing features that now seem to have vanished without a trace.
Worried that upgrading to Leopard will wreak havoc with your Adobe Creative Suite? You are wise to be cautious, but how have these applications vital to your livelihood held up under the update? Adobe blogger, John Nack, breaks the silence and faces the question: what works and what doesn’t?
