My mom has been using Acrobat 5 and would like the newest version. She loves the feature that forms can be filled in directly and I was wondering which Acrobat 8 should I get for her, the standard or professional? Does the standard do the basics that Acrobat 5 did?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 5, Windows

If your mom wants to work on PDF forms, she needs Acrobat 8 Professional. Buy it for her for a nice Mother's Day gift.
