Adobe Acrobat Standard

Acrobat Standard is a lighter version of Acrobat Professional. The primary differences between the two versions are that the Standard version includes no support for authoring PDF forms, no support for professional printing tools, and no support for adding usage rights for Adobe Reader users. In addition, some tools, menu commands, and features that are included in Acrobat Professional are not available in Acrobat Standard.

One of the many distinctions between both Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Standard compared with Adobe Reader is that the Pro and Standard applications enable you to create PDF documents. In addition to the many kinds of edits you can make with the commercial viewers, you can save your edits. These options are not available to Adobe Reader users.
