Nice feature comparison!!! I was trying to compare on Adobe.com earlier today and it was not near as simple as this. Thanks!
Hi Kevin,
Glad you found this of help.
It takes some effort to gather this kind of info.
Sometimes it’s easy to find such on the Adobe site, other times, not so much!
Cheers,
Ken
