You may not need any version of Acrobat Pro if you do not create or edit PDF files. You can view PDF files using one of the following options:

• Use a PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.

• Or use the free Foxit Reader which loads much faster and has lower system requirements than Acrobat Reader.

If you need to create or edit PDF files, there are a few software options available to you:

• You can create PDF files in Microsoft Office 2007 products by using the free Microsoft PDF Add-in.

• Brown University faculty or staff who wish to create PDF files for submitting NSF grant proposals without the use of KeyServer may purchase an unkeyed version of Acrobat Pro.

• If you are not using Microsoft Office 2007 and do not qualify for the unkeyed version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, you may install the keyed version of Adobe Acrobat Pro to create and edit PDF files.

If you are a Brown University student, faculty or staff and need to use other Adobe products:

• Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium contains other Adobe products such as Dreamweaver and Photoshop, but does not include Adobe Acrobat Pro.
