Right on, Brian!

Acrobat is one of the most stable "universal" tools in the market.

We once produced a monthly newsletter with tons of graphics. It was 
composed in Pagemaker and then transferred to Acrobat for a number of 
reasons:

1) I could send it to the printer directly via e-mail. The lithographer 
was not looking at a copy of a copy...
2) I never worried about skewed test/graphics
3) The Acrobat file was orders of magnitude smaller.


I still think it's a greatly underrated and underutilized tool. If MC 
could only convert directly to Acrobat, we'd all have less work to do... ;-)
