The software also features graphics acceleration on supported systems.

Its the first Intel-native version of Adobe Reader to be released.

Its worth noting that the Intel-optimized version is a separate download from its PowerPC counterpart, which may cause some confusion for Mac users and IT personnel who have grown accustomed to Universal binaries, which combine PowerPC and Intel optimizations into a single application.

Available for Mac OS X and windows, Adobe Reader 8 is also coming for Linux, HPUX, AIX and Solaris operating systems in 2007.

We give you the scoop on whats new, whats best and how to make the most out of the products you love.

Pros Good functionality: With Adobe Reader for Mac, you can do more than just view PDF files -- you can edit them as well, adding text and placing check marks and initials.

It also lets you submit forms created with fillable form fields.

This is especially helpful since nowadays many forms that you download from the Internet require you to use it to fill in the blanks.

This is an especially useful feature when you need to fill in and return a form or sign a document, but you dont have a working printer close by.

You can choose to either type your signature, import a picture of your signature, or draw it using a mouse or trackpad.

Streamlined interface: Although the amount of features is impressive for a free application, the interface is clearly laid out and easy to navigate.

Reliable: It opens and displays files of all sizes, even large ones with many detailed images, quickly and smoothly.

Cons Some advanced features require subscription: Adobe Reader doesnt have a paid version.

Instead, if you want to take advantage of some of the more advanced features, you must sign up for a monthly subscription that starts at 1.99 a month.

Two of these advanced features are emailing files directly from the application, and converting PDF files to other formats, including to Word.

Bottom Line Adobe Reader proves to be the most functional, free PDF reader and editor available.

Besides, most fillable forms that you download from the Internet were originally created using other Adobe products and therefore must be filled out using Adobe Reader.
