Wait, Microsoft Office saving a file to PDF would kind of make Acrobat useless, no? Good for Adobe, this was another way MS tried to get a technology for free.
MS is a big bully, trying to make it sound like Adobe is an arse. Having MS Office installed in most business areas, why would anyone purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro then if Word will do it already? Man, corporate politics.
I also think when Adobe said OPEN format, it meant that the way information is stored will be revealed, not used to create an acrobat writer clone and undercut Adobe's own product line.
