More Web 2.0 -- Acrobat Pro 9.0 Extended

I just saw a demo of the beta version of Acrobat Pro 9.0 Extended. And, as with any beta, it choked a few times . . . but hey! That's what beta is, you know? I'm confident it will be perfect when it starts shipping later this month. Anyway, the thing is, it was really awesome. Here are just a few tidbits:

• Collaborate Live with Screen Share function -- the dialog works like any chat but you both see the doc on the screen and can manipulate it!
• Form Fill on steroids. It is crazy easy to create a form with fill in the blanks with Acrobat 9.0 and you don't have to go to a 2 hour training session to do it! Prepare to be frightened . . . when people fill out the forms and send them back to you there is a function that captures and compiles the data for you! Scary, huh?
• Turn anything into a .pdf. Now you can have movies, sound, interactive buttons, even 3D models (with the Extended version) in your doc! Works with everything! Flash, Dreamweaver, Captivate, etc.

The demo was at 8 am this morning and i had a little bit of a headache but it was obvious that 9.0 is going to change how we work. Oh yeah, I am SO going to get it.
