I just bought this product and am getting a refund from Adobe. PDFMaker is such a great component of Acrobat (on the PC). It converts Office documents into PDF files and preserves all the formatting including hyperlinks, bookmarks, etc. Not so on the Mac! You just get a PDF file with the look of the original documents, but no hyperlinks. So you have to go and put them all back in manually! (The article says you get this feature on Mac and PC, but it's not true!)
Without this feature, you might as well just use the built-in MacOS feature to create a PDF. What was Adobe thinking, leaving out this feature?
Even more frustrating, there's nothing on Adobe's web site telling you which features are not in the Mac version. I even spoke with a product specialist at Adobe who told me this feature was in the Mac version, but Tech Support says "no, sorry!"
In summary, if you need to make forms, preflight files, or do all sorts of other high-end stuff with PDF, I'm sure 6.0 is the tool to have. But if you just want to do basic office document work (the largest base of Acrobat users), you still have to stick with the Windows version.
The Mac version pales in comparison to the PC
