[Athen] vendor query

[Robert Beach]

Karen,

The only version the book store can get at the academic price is Professional Extended, which I've not used.  I'm not sure of the differences nor do I know how accessible it is with screen readers.  Any thoughts?  Have you tried it?

Thanks.

Can't you get the academic pricing for it at your campus bookstore?

Hello all,

I'm needing to purchase Acrobat Pro for my laptop.  Since it isn't a college machine, I can't install college licensed software on it, even though I'm using it for college related presentations.

Anyway, my student worker found the program at Baseline Software for $134.  The price at Best Buy and CompUSA is $450.

My question is, has anybody every used Baseline Software?  Are they trust worthy?  My niece purchased some software online before, then was not able to register it and use it because it was already registered in somebody else's name.  She was never able to get her money back or get the software.

Thanks for any pointers.
