Until I when to Macworld this year, I was using Acrobat 4.0 in Classic. Thanks to Adobe and the MUG breakfast, I'm finally on 6.0 in Panther. Bless you on Park Avenue.
I use Acrobat for adding hotlinks to the PDF version of our club's newsletter - see PBMUG - MacBytes - The Newsletter for the Palm Beach Macintosh User Group.
Next, and most important, the school we meet at will allow us to use their T-1 for internet access, but their firewalls can be oppressive. If the page isn't "good for the kids" they block it. They will consider open pages if you ask them ahead of time. This can take weeks.
By using Acrobat's "Web Capture" tool I can create a PDF of the web site (or individual pages) for club demo's and promo's. The only thing I cannot do is go to password protected sites because Acrobat doesn't have a way to enter my password.
Side note: I sent this upgrade suggestion/request for Adobe to add this ability but haven't heard back from them. If anybody knows someone at Adobe, pass this request along. Maybe there is power in numbers.
Last, Acrobat makes great files for my monthy CD give away to club members. I can make multi-media interactive files with the freeware, shareware and tryout software I give to our members.
Acrobat rules!

For the longest time Acrobat was a key piece of software for MUGs. Like most
things, once you have it, you don't know how you ever lived without it. What
do you all use Acrobat for?
