Wow, we produce PDFs all the time on Macs... and have for years... with Quark and Indesign it's the best way to get your work to the printers... look a little deeper before you expose yourself! It reminds me of the person who climbs into a BMW and complains about the inferiority of the M8 because the mirror control isn't like his/her Kia model.

Talk to Adobe... Mac was the platform of choice originally, but since buying other players, they just care way too much about PC's and we Mac user's are bastard children. They make good aps, its just if you going to have a truly portable document product, make it as user friendly on every platform or just don't have it. You can make a PDF from any program on the Mac. You just print and generate the PDF in the Print-Dialog window or use Distiller which is still the best way to generate a clean PDF. Office PDF's suck as the colors are always wrong, especially in the Print world.
Forms have always been clunky no matter what platform you use. PC has had the edge for the last 3 versions (no surprise) 7 did come along way in speed and functionality but it is not the end all. Give me the original application files anyday.

In Mac OS X ALL programs will produce PDF files without Acrobat. It's build into the print function.

Thing is, all you need to do to make a PDF of any Mac file is to print it. When the Print dialog comes up, you just have to choose the PDF button instead of Print.

Dude, you can do the same thing with the mac version you're just not looking in the right place. The "Save as PDF" is in every app on the Mac and Adobe still puts a little shortcut button just like the PC.

If you would all READ the original post instead of responding to what you THOUGHT it said, you'd notice that the poster was describing a feature that allowed PDFs to be made from Office documents FROM WITHIN ACROBAT. Of course you can make PDFs via the print mechanism, or use the Office add-ins, or take a photo of the screen and use the picture to make an Acrobat PDF, etc., if you're happy with that. However it doesn't change the fact that this actual feature is missing from the ADOBE ACROBAT application, to which these comments are supposed to apply.
