If you have the serial number you can call Adobe and they will send you a new CD. Also, I believe the full versions are available to download from the Adobe website as trials. Once you download them, just enter your serial number.

Surely you should either back your software up before you lose the discs, or come up with a better storage solution so you don't lose them?

Its quicker to download stuff than search for the cd though! Even with music its quicker to jump online and download something than to find the original cd in the pile

OMG just read the title people.

uTorrent is good because it's all encrypted, so your ISP can't throttle your connection if you're sharing too much. Of all the bit torrent clients it's my fave.

Or, for eclectic stuff if you're patient, Emule is worth a go, but often ain't quick, but just about everything you could possibly want is out there somewhere.

Only encrypted if the tracker you are using allows it. Don't assume because you use uTorrent your safe.

The ISP's throttle ports and protocols they do not care if its encrypted and encryption does not prevent them from throttling
simply put an ISP can throttle uTorrent the same as every other bittorrent client as they all use the bittorrent protocol, the client used is not relevant, encryption of data is not relevant.

If you only need to turn documents into PDFs like Word or Excel files, use PrimoPDF. Installs itself as a printer, so all you do is print to the PrimoPDF printer, which then makes a PDF. Unless you're going into forms automation or advanced stuff like watermarks, adding ActiveX and java to your PDFs you don't need the full Acrobat product.

It's like using the full edition of Photoshop just to resize a JPEG or a GIF.

Doh, must have been thinking of something else. Whatever, been well happy with uTorrent.
