Acrobat.com - catch up

So, after a year of being a 'beta site' we've take a big step towards realizing our vision of a new way to work on Acrobat.com.

We have launched Acrobat.com Premium subscriptions for more intensive business use. And we give a look into the future of Acrobat.com for the coming year, starting with the unveiling of our spreadsheet product, Acrobat.com Tables, on our Labs website. Lots of news, and I'm sorry I didn't mention it at the time but two weeks ago we released Acrobat.com Presentations.... go find them at http://labs.acrobat.com/
