Does Adobe offer suggested specs, for a workstation, that if the user purchased a system with those specs, they would not have any issues, no matter what file format is used. Not minimum specs, but specs that will allow most of the questions and work arounds posted on this forum to be answered? I would think they should know this, wouldn't you?
