Adobe have finally announced the release of Acrobat X Pro.
Acrobat is "divorced" from the creative suite in terms of development timelines (both a good and bad thing), which means that when a new creative suit is launched, it often has the old Acrobat. I personally think that many Print based creative suite users have been holding off updating, until CS5 includes the new Acrobat (as they have Acrobat 9 Pro with CS3 or CS4). Acrobat has become, is becoming very important. As more customers supply PDF files instead of native application files, prepress and printers tend to rely on Acrobat (and third party plugs) more than ever.
I know things are still early, however, there does not appear to be much hype or even information on the Adobe site about what the prepress type features are, or what other new features make this a compelling update over version 9.
Dov, or anybody else care to comment?
