[QUOTE="MusedFable, post: 2538029, member: 16168"] Okay, I figured out what the difference between the different levels of Acrobat are. Elements only prints as PDF and doesn't allow resolution control or bookmarks. Standard does all the things most of you told me about. Professional allows for precise control on compression, professional quality printer stuff (like save EPS files and convert to CMYK), and Templates (imports them, helps create them, ect). So... Elements=just makes a pdf. Standard=good for e-publishing. Professional=advanced options for book printing and don't forget templates. After poking around looking at the different layout programs it's obvious I should get InDesign. Because it's the cheapest :confused: . Pagemaker 7.0.2 w/ student discount is about $300. InDesign CS2 is $180. That doesn't make any sense, but I won't complane. I've used a lot of these programs, but I didn't remember what did what (I was spoiled at school and didn't think to remember where one left off and the other started). I hate Quirk. I don't know why, but it's just completely unnatural to me. Thanks for all the help :) [/QUOTE]
