With respect, Duff, is it Acrobat that makes lousy files? Or is it the lousy construction of the source Word (or Office) document that's the problem?

We're getting very good accessible PDFs from Word and PPT when the source files are constructed correctly and exported correctly with Acrobat's PDF Maker plug-in. I admit, there are some of the more complex items in Word that fail the conversion, but they are being addressed.

Plus, none of those extra programs make complaint PRESS files for those of us who must communicate both in print and digitally.
