    What do you mean by "PostScript". I can't answer from direct experience, but I believe it has Press Quality in Distiller/Adobe PDF, or can be set to the same settings, but cannot do any of the PDF/X standards.

    That said, if you are producing for press, Acrobat Pro is generally considered a must for the print production tools like preflight.

    Post Script options falls under Advanced settings.

    We need the Press Quality option. We had Acrobat 8 standard version before and it had both Post Script and Press Quality option (Under Advanced Tab).  Which ever version, be it 9, 10 or 11, that provides the above options, I will go for it. If either 9 or 10 has got it, then it is cheaper as compared to 11.

    The current version is Acrobat XI (not for XP or Vista). Adobe no longer sell Acrobat 9 or 10. So you would be buying in the "aftermarket". Which is fine, except that there are many fraudsters in there, doing things from selling versions that were upgraded (making you in violation of the license) to selling outright fakes, which often don't work at all, or stop when Adobe later blocks fraudulent serial numbers, or in the worst case also sneak malware onto the computer. So take great care selecting a seller. Beware of "too good to be true" prices, but the fraudsters are now wise to this too and may sell at a high price to seem legitimate.
