I found many problems with fonts and misalignment with 9. Until these issues are resolve I cannot upgrade as I could not run business as usual.

It is such a surprise that Adobe makes their products a pain in the ass for any other vendor? To be fair - the PDF spec is Adobe's technology. But it's come to point that they are predatory in the marketplace due to their success with it. New Adobe stuff is beyond bloated now, and NOT all happy-land for designers. A bit off topic, that's why I use CorelDRAW and am just short of being a millionaire as a graphic designer. It's twice as fast as illustrator FWIW. If you are serious about productivity, take a look.

Acrobat 6 worked flawlessly, as did Acrobat 9 PE for about two weeks, except the latter failed after the initial install and now corrupts the files. I've even scraped it off the computer and have reinstalled it, but with no improvement. I'm awaiting a tech support explanation, but I'm highly frustrated.

Would it be better if problems were not reported? From my organization's point of view, Acrobat 9 IS "rife" with problems to the point where we cannot use it.

OCR is seriously crippled. Version 8 has no problem OCR'ing the same files that crash on 9. WordPerfect X4 cannot open a version 9 pdf and reports the file to be "corrupt or encrypted." After some careful testing on several computers with various files we've decided to revert back to version 8. I couldn't find anything on the web reporting these problems but I thought that you might have an Acrobat contact who may be able to shed some light on the issues.
