A few weeks ago, we posted a scavenger hunt question for all of our followers on Twitter. The prize—a one-year subscription to one of our online services—went to one lucky winner, chosen at random from the respondents who answered our question correctly. For those of you who missed the hunt or weren’t chosen, your chance has come again! We’ve just tweeted the latest question from our handle, @Acrobat; for a chance to win a service subscription, just tweet your reply back to us with the handle #AcrobatFeatureFind. We’ll choose a winner at random from all of the correct responses. Here are the details:

Answers must be in by: Wednesday at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET

Winners will be announced: Thursday at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET

Where to find us: twitter.com/acrobat

Where to tweet your answers: @Acrobat #AcrobatFeatureFind

Okay, here comes question #2! Go find the answer and tweet your reply by Friday afternoon:

In SendNow, what’s the fifth column from the left in the “Sent Files” tab?

The prize drawing will occur on or before 5 p.m. PT the Wednesday following the post, with the winner announcement occurring the following Thursday. The prize will be the winner’s choice of ONE of the following services: Adobe FormsCentral, Adobe SendNow, Adobe ExportPDF, or Adobe CreatePDF. The drawings are open to residents in North America only.

Hope you enjoyed our first “Ask the Xpert” Twitterview with the Acrobat team’s Chris French and Dave Stromfeld. If you didn’t have a chance to join, check out the transcript from the session!

Our second “Ask the Xpert” Twitterview takes a look at dynamic forms, and it kicks off on Tuesday, March 1 at 10:00am PST on our Acrobat Twitter handle: @Acrobat. Our hosts are Todd Gerber, Group Product Marketing Manager, Acrobat.com Solutions, and Rebecca Staley, Community Manager, Acrobat.com.

To refresh your memory, Twitterviews are interviews conducted on Twitter, where you get to interview our special guests about, in this case, forms-related questions. We encourage everyone to ask Todd and Rebecca questions via Twitter during the Twitterview using the hashtag #Acroview, or better yet, starting today using that same hashtag #Acroview, or even right here in the comments section of this blog post!

As an added incentive, all users who ask a question will be entered into a random drawing for a chance to win 10 FormsCentral Plus accounts for a whole year—a great solution for you, your colleagues, club, team, etc. FormsCentral is our new forms-creation and online data-collection solution that we announced on Feb. 14, and FormsCentral Plus offers unlimited forms and up to 5,000 responses per form. The drawing is open to residents in North America only. For the complete rules see here.

Here’s a little more info about Todd and Rebecca:

Todd Gerber is Group Product Marketing Manager for Acrobat.com Solutions, managing all services for Acrobat Solutions, including FormsCentral, SendNow, CreatePDF and more. He comes to Adobe with more than 15 years expertise building corporate online programs in direct and indirect sales, lead acquisition, and optimization. Prior to Adobe Todd spent 13 years at HP, most recently as director of business engagement and development. When he’s not talking up the latest cool use cases for FormsCentral, he enjoys traveling and writing screenplays.

Rebecca Staley joined the Acrobat.com team last year as the Acrobat.com Community Manager. Since coming to Adobe, she’s been working with all of Acrobat.com‘s attendant services, including SendNow, CreatePDF, and now FormsCentral; she spends her time writing blog posts and having conversations in the Adobe forums about all of these services. When she’s not tweeting the latest Acrobat.com news, she’s covered with ink at the letterpress studio or gallivanting around the Northern California wilderness.

Don’t forget to follow our Twitter handle, @Acrobat, for the latest Acrobat news and updates, and ask those questions using #Acroview or in the comments section here! We hope to see you (virtually) on Tuesday, March 1!
