Seems that Adobe released Acrobat.com quietly. I saw a little buzz around it but not a whole lot. Acrobat.com is

Acrobat.com is a set of online services — file sharing and storage, a PDF converter, an online word processor, and web conferencing — you can use to create and share documents, communicate in real time, and simplify working with others.

Probably in an effort to compete with the many Software as a Service (SaaS) marketplace.

The one that had interested me was the Online PDF Converter that:

provides an online PDF converter so you can easily create Adobe® PDF documents from your existing files in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and many other applications. It’s as easy as selecting your file and clicking Create PDF.

Until I remember that I run a PDF Printer on my system that lets me ‘print’ to PDF from any application. What would interest me, as a developer, is the ability to send documents to Acrobat.com to create, and return PDFs on the fly from a website. Gonna look around to see if they allow this. If not, I have no real interest.

Is anything else worth a second look at Acrobat.com? Buzzword? ConnectNow? Share? MyFiles?
