Adobe ships Acrobat 9 with Flash support but Reader 9 lags

Page 2 of 2 Acrobat 9 is available in three versions. Acrobat 9 Standard ($US299, Windows only) provides PDF creation, OCR (for scanned documents), encryption, use restrictions, PDF Portfolios, Flash, signing, forms and other familiar features. Acrobat 9 Pro ($US449, Windows or Mac OS X - though some features are Windows-only) adds PDF Portfolio personalisation, redaction, XML forms, FLV and H.264 video, preflighting, and more. The top-end Acrobat 9 Pro Extended ($US699, Windows only) goes even further with the inclusion of Adobe Presenter (converts interactive PowerPoint decks into PDF files), video to FLV conversion, 3D and CAD to PDF, and the creation of PDF maps from geospatial files. Perhaps the biggest benefit of Reader 9 is that it is supposed to load twice as quickly as previous versions. That's a smart move on Adobe's part, because one of the main reasons people use other PDF readers is that Reader 8 takes so long to open.
