The PDF documents created and read by Adobe Writer enable users to combine emails, images, spreadsheets, documents and websites into one unified document that preserves formatting. You can use Writer to create Web forms that can be filled in and returned electronically, as well as authenticate documents with digital signatures and password protect files for secure sharing.
As of 2010, the current version for both the Standard and Pro versions of the Acrobat software is Version 9. New features allow users to insert FLV or H.264 video into PDF documents that can be played back using Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader is available for free download from Adobe's website. Adobe Writer requires a commercial license of $299 for the Acrobat 9 Standard version and $499 for the Acrobat 9 Pro version, as of 2010.
