Adobe Releases $449 Acrobat 8 Professional – Huh?

You can pre-order Acrobat 8 Professional at $449.00 — and the Standard Edition for $299.00
 
But with SO many Acrobat alternatives – Adobe’s prices seem a tad too high! (^_^)
PDF Alternatives:

    I’d suggest Sumatra PDF if you feel Foxit is too bloated :)
