NECC Reflections 2008: Adobe Acrobat 9

Okay, this was a "session" on the vendor floor but I have just three words: Oh…My…Gosh….. This new version of Acrobat/Reader is amazing and, frankly, was one of the highlights of the conference for me.

· Embed video that can be read with Acrobat Reader 9 – yes, video in a pdf!!
· Nice bookmarking feature
· Make a Ppt presentation a PDF and preserve transitions and animations AND file size is a fraction of the original Ppt size
· Extended version allows you to add a sidebar video to presentations so you can narrate a presentation if you like
· Can create a PDF portfolio that can contain editable documents – looks VERY interesting for student portfolio work!!
