Really? What are they? Very few applications (not produced by Adobe)
I have come across have this available. The only one I have that
will do so is SnagIt 8. Though of course once you have Acrobat or a
third party driver such as that installed by SnagIt, you can produce
PDF files from any application you can print from.

Reading Acrobat files to successfully produce Word editable files is
the prerogative of very few OCR applications and OCR like conversion
tools. --

No. What's more, it is being taken out of Office 2007 and will be a
separate
add-in that registered users may download. (this is some stupid
quibble by Adobe).


Yes, incredible that almost every program I have has an option to
save/export to PDF.

Yet Adobe seem to take exception to MS doing this (albeit so late in
the game when other software has had this option for years!)

Must be due to historical bad blood between MS & Adobe?

Or could it be something to do with MS wanting to develope/promote
their own format to compete with/usurp PDF??

Hmmm.
