What are you generating your PDF from? Direct from Photoshop? Direct from
Word? Direct from Illustrator? Which versions?
Both Photoshop and Illustrator CS versions can directly generate a print
quality PDF. So, in principles, you wouldn't need the full Acrobat Pro
version. Making PDFs from Word is asking for trouble, IMO.
What color management would you want to apply to your PDF, Illustrator and
Photoshop documents on the way to make PDFs of?
You have to be aware of how PDFs are passed along in the print food chain in
the printers you specifically deal with. Some will take CMYK PDFs, others
will take RGB while some others, the more advanced guys, will gladly accept
anything. So, I'd suggest you start raising questions at these guys ends
first to find out what they accept and how they process what other print
suppliers feed them, in terms of colors, if that's what worries you. Then
work you way back to your work environment.
As far as Acrobat is concerned, you might consider getting the Premium
Creative Suite which includes InDesign CS, Illustrator CS, Photoshop CS,
GolLive CS and Acrobat CS for the price you used to pay for Photoshop alone.
