Hi, Adobe is moving lots of productivity towards the cloud based solutions. Creative Cloud allows for a pseudo web-based version of the PhotoShop, Premiere Creative Suite and the Document Cloud is probably part of that same sort of movement. Sorry, was following the whole thread but must have let the initial part of the conversation fly out of my head.

Also they say this is the release of "Adobe Reader DC" where DC stands for Document Cloud. No idea what that is but it sounds like something I'll need an account and/or subscription to make use of. Their link to the announcement is broken but I was able to find this: http://blogs.adobe.com/adobereader/2015/03/introducing-adobe-document-cloud.html which eventually has links to http://landing.adobe.com/en/na/products/document-cloud/announce.html which is probably where the first link was supposed to go. At the very end it talks about "How to buy Document Cloud and Acrobat DC" but it doesn't clarify what might be needed just to use Adobe Reader DC. This press release dated March 17 http://www.adobe.com/news-room/pressreleases/201503/031715AdobeIntroducesDocumentCloud.html says Adobe Document Cloud and Acrobat DC are expected to be available within 30 days so that means mid-April. Subscriptions to DC are $14.99 a month but still nothing about costs to just open a PDF with Adobe Reader DC. CB On 3/27/15 2:35 PM, David Griffith wrote: > Absolutely no confusion on my part.
