Software Evaluation Project

Adobe Acrobat is a program created by the Adobe company for word processing and form creation. While there are many open source programs that offer similar features, Adobe Acrobat has become the office standard for creation and editing of documents. This paper will analyze the other available programs and determine whether Adobe Acrobat is really worth its high price.
