PDF Creation Won't Be in Office 2007
Creation of PDF files was supposed to be included in Office 2007 as a built-in product feature. Adobe has apparently changed its mind though and doesn't want anything to do with giving away free PDF creation in Microsoft Office. iTWire has the story.
I was excited for PDF creation to be included in Microsoft Office. This would have made creation so much easier for the average person, which would have been an improvement to document distribution.
I have hated Adobe Reader for a long-time, for amongst many other things the painfully slow load times. Here's to hoping that Microsoft decides they want to kill the PDF format now and attempt to replace it with their new format XPS. I'm sure that will load faster and result in my browser hanging a lot less often, two things Adobe has been unable to get under control.
