The interesting if not troubling thing I've found after using the Microsoft Office 2007 beta is that Adobe Acrobat's PDF creation tools are now well and truly hidden away and hard to find. This creates multiple problems for Adobe: less people will successfully create PDFs, and more people will be asking, "Where did my 'Create PDF' button go?" Adobe needs to develop a solution for previous versions of Acrobat before the new Microsoft Office is launched.
Karl De Abrew
BinaryThing CEO Karl De Abrew explores the pending conflict between software giants Adobe and Microsoft. Reports are coming in all across the globe that Adobe isn't content to let Microsoft shoot forth with a basic Save As PDF for Office 12. The WSJ is reporting that talks between the two software companies have reached an impasse during the past week as are The Street, Slashdot and many, many others.
Ernest Svenson
Finding the interplay of PDF creation, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and bates numbering a little confusing? PDFforLawyers.com's Ernest Svenson explains in this piece on just that topic.
Dan Shea
Is PDF living up to Adobe's one-time claim of being "Everywhere you look"? At first glance, it looks as though that statement may be truer than was originally intended, thanks to the 500-pound gorilla of Internet search. The most public "private" beta this writer has ever encountered -- Google's "Gmail" email service -- offers a "View as HTML" function that may circumvent usage restrictions on some PDF documents.
Duff Johnson
In this piece, Duff Johnson takes an in-depth look at CVISION's PdfCompressor software, designed for compressing PDF files and much more. Where relevant, the review also makes comparisons between similar functionality in this application and Adobe's flagship software, Adobe Acrobat.
Filipe Pereira Martins and Anna Kobylinska
With Acrobat 3D, its newest addition to the Acrobat family, Adobe pushed the envelope of PDF capabilities. Adobe Acrobat 3D expands next-generation PDF workflow into the 3D worlds of Manufacturing and AEC (architecture, engineering and construction). This review by Filipe Pereira Martins and Anna Kobylinska of Soft1T Consulting provides an in-depth look at the youngest Acrobat.
David Fishel
For whatever reason, we can find ourselves needing offline access to entire websites, be it for evidence, research or archival purposes. The good news is that this is a simple task in Adobe Acrobat, as PDFforLawyers.com's Dave Fishel explains.

In early February, the Miami Beach Convention Center played host to the inaugural PDF-FORUM for Print Production. Although I wasn't able to make it in person, intrepid Planet PDF CEO Karl De Abrew was our "Man on the ground" at the show, and last week gave our readers the lowdown on the show as a whole last week. In this exciting installment, he and I each review some intriguing sessions that you may have missed.

Despite a missed flight due to poor weather, intrepid Planet PDF CEO Karl De Abrew gets the story. De Abrew speaks to prepress consultant Peter Kleinheider about one of the most fast-paced sessions from the recent PDF-FORUM for Print Production in Miami Beach, FL.
Karl De Abrew
As the one-time meeting place for print production quietly closes its doors, a new contender for that role has made its debut. The inaugural PDF-FORUM for Print Production looks set to fill the void left by the departure of Seybold Seminars with the guidance of PDF-industry veteran Stephan Jaeggi.
