It's not that we are smarter or more creative. It's not because we like each other more. It's because we've found a new way to work.
We get more work done, much better than your team, in much less time, because we use Acrobat.com.
And from a personal standpoint, by working this way I get fewer emails and spend less time in meetings, yet I get more done, have more time to think, and enjoy my work and my co-workers more. How does that sound to you?
Let me give you a real world example of how this happens.

A number of users have asked us about fonts.
Why such a limited number of fonts?
We download our own fonts in order to take advantage of Adobe’s FlashType technology which produces great-looking text on screen and in print. It also improves on our ability to display a document exactly the same way regardless of the computer or printer rendering our text.
How often have you had the problem that a document either isn’t readable or isn’t properly formatted because two people sharing that document have different font sets on their desktops? Buzzword is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) word processor that looks the same on everybody’s screen. Built-in fonts make sure everyone has the same fonts, and therefore sees exactly the same document.
We want to limit the size of the download so that the user is up and running quickly. To that end we’re only downloading 7 font families to start. In future releases, we’ll look at accommodating additional fonts without impacting the download times.
