The big hole in that idea is that Adobe Acrobat Professional is a Windows/MAC-only application that costs $449 US per license. That leaves out those of us who use Linux... and the team members that cannot afford that rather high license cost. It may be a nice-to-have feature, but due to cost and OS restrictions, it will probably remain a nice-to-have.
