It is available standalone: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatproextended/ I didn't want to watch all the flash-y stuff, and text descriptions of features are somewhat limited, but AcroProE seems to be the source of the "special sauce." To address Clint's post that came in as I was writing this: Reviewers just need Adobe Reader. But you need Acrobat to create PDFs from your FM docs (I don't think Distiller is bundled with FM anymore, but I could be wrong about that). It seems reasonable for Adobe to say you need the full-featured version of Acrobat to add this new and compelling feature to the PDFs you create. Richard Richard G.
