Adobe does offer educator and student prices, which are relatively
affordable. But about a year ago I ponied up $140 for Acrobat X, via an
educational reseller, and never could get the damn thing installed because
of the "Adobe Paranoia" (trademark pending) in terms of all the
often-conflicting security/install hoops one has to jump through. I still
have, and use, Acrobat 8 Pro quite happily, but otherwise refuse to pay the
price for its products.
