Here may be an easier Adobe question...

If someone (like myself) still has Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and is going to
upgrade, is there any reason not to just go to Pro 9.0?  Is there any
reason to consider Pro 8.0?

Thanks!
Tara

I  have considered that, but I would be hesitant to spend money on a
system until I was closer to needing it.  Between now and January there
could even be a new  version of Pro available.  We saw how fast 8.0 went
to 9.0, less than a year.  Many still have a version of Pro
7 running.

Even if there were not a new version of Pro available, I wonder why the
need to get Pro 9.  Reader 9 works fine and is free.  Older versions of
Pro are good for making .pdf files to attach, or editing them.  There
are other ways to make .pdf files, too.  It is important that users
understand how their computers move between versions, what are defaults
and what needs to be when downloading.  If this is a problem for folks,
then it might  be necessary to get Pro, and remove Reader.

A year ago, Grants.gov and Adobe were not in sync, however, now I
believe that Adobe keeps the G.g staff in the know about developments.
I am confident that we will be told about any changes in time to
implement them.

Is it possible to submit NIH applications to a testing site?

Dear Colleagues,

I know many of us are having to deal with the potential of juggling
between pro and reader for the Grants.gov Adobe transition.  It seems
natural that people will just want to upgrade to Pro 9.0 to remedy any
potential problems.

Has anyone done any thorough testing to make sure this is the best
solution?  It seems hard to do without actual SF424 packages to submit.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
