Since my presentations generally deal with materials that are already in the PDF format - such as documents and photographs - presenting that material using Adobe Reader 6.0 is quick and easy. In terms of creating something "new" I can easily assemble pieces into a Word document and quickly transform it into PDF. By adding sound and movie clips - Acrobat certainly qualifies as an authoring tool. No doubt a factor my choice is that I am familiar with Word and Acrobat and far less familiar with PowerPoint. Certainly PowerPoint users swear by it but I believe presenting with Reader to be an equivalent alternative and perhaps superior in some respects..
