  	        <tr>
  	            <td>Adobe&reg; Acrobat 7.0 Professional</td>
  	            <td>In order for PDFBox to produce correct results it is sometimes necessary to create a PDF using an Adobe tool
  	                and then compare the results with what PDFBox produced.  The 7.0 product suite contains lots of useful features 
  	                that would be nice to be able to verify against PDFBox.  Amazon currently lists this as $409, but may be cheaper else where.
