Acrobat 8…A Must Have Tool for IP Attorneys
December 8, 2006 on 4:56 pm | In Tech Tips |I’ve mentioned before that I recently picked up a Fujitsu SnapScan scanner and love it. I can’t imagine how I was able to get by as a patent attorney before I had the ability to scan documents to PDF on the fly (it comes with Acrobat Standard for free).
Over time I’ve found myself using Acrobat more and more. So much so that when Adobe released new version 8.0, I immediately installed it. Version 8.0 is slick…very slick. Almost like it was made for attorneys. It gives you the ability to redact documents cleanly, integral Bates numbering, Document sharing (Adobe Document Center) and remote document control (this PDF will self destruct in 10 seconds), and (through Acrobat Connect) web conferencing. A tech attorney’s dream.
It seems silly, but I use Acrobat every day at work and can’t imagine having a computer without it… I highly recommend you try it out:

EFS web requires Acrobat 7.0.8 and no other version for electronic filing. I installed 8.0 and filed two IDSs without incident. A week later, I attempted to file an additional IDS and it the system would not allow it. I called the EBC and the response was that only 7.0.8 could be used for filing through EFS web. After reinstalling 7.0.8 I was able to file without a problem. Shouldn’t the PTO be designing the system in such a way that newer versions of acrobat are allowed?

So where can I get Adobe Reader 7.0.8, which is not available from Adobe for download (only 7.0.9)?

There are a number of different websites that allow downloads of old versions. Here’s one for Acrobat Reader: http://www.oldapps.com/acrobat_reader.htm
Of course…don’t forget to VIRUS SCAN everything you download…just in case.
