A primary benefit in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 is the ability to open up such processes as review, markup, and approval through extended abilities in Adobe Reader 7.0. Therefore, people can comment on materials without having to have Acrobat Professional or Acrobat Office. The feature is much more attractive than using Microsoft track changes functionality. An attention-getting feature in Acrobat 7 is the organizer tool, which can benefit Portable Document Format (PDF) power users in managing large collections of PDFs.

From inside the organizer, users can print or e-mail PDFs or create one PDF from multiple files. Another helpful feature is LiveCycle Designer, which is bundled with Acrobat 7 free for Windows only, and is a client-based mouse-driven graphical form design tool that eases creation of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) form designs for distribution as Adobe PDF of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) forms.
