We're still at 7.1 and Acrobat Pro 6. All is relatively well. FM 8 seems attractive -- one thing that would entice me would be if multiple undo has truly attained stability in FM 8. (Yes, I know the chorus, "Undo is for wimps!" but I've been spoiled by all those years in Word, at least on that particular score -- BTW, rugby players think NFL football is for wimps, too, so each to his own.)
A significant improvement in overall FM stability would interest me, too. Usually 7.1 behaves itself, but the other day it crashed on a whim. I save often enough to have averted major disaster, but it was still an annoyance and work and time lost. Acrobat 8, from what I've read, is likely significantly more stable than 6. Just as importantly, for us, would be the ability to bring AutoDesk Inventor graphics into our documentation. We're not fully there yet, but it doesn't take much of a crystal ball to see its possibilities in our future. I think we will go there. It's just a matter of time, budget, and how quickly our workflow creates the demand to access the new advanced features. I'm also curious to watch the development of InDesign and see how much convergence it achieves with FM. I'm not holding my breath just yet, but it's quite possibly an appealing future option.
