One of the biggest problems with the current implementation of the Internet is that information is not adequately dated for the purposes of search and understanding the relevance of information being viewed. For instance, an education page that discusses the Pythagorean theorem has no expiration date; the information is good foerver. However, a page that describes prices must have an effective date and an expiration date.

PDFs should have effective date and expiration date fields in metadata. Moreover, when a user opens a PDF and the current system time is outside the effective date to expiration date range that the author has specified in Properties, the user should get an alert.

Because many casual users are unfamiliar with Properties, and many PDFs are created through the print interface of a word-processing program, the interface for entering these two dates should be part of the Create/Save PDF process.

The default effective date should be the current system date. The defa

I use Acrobat.com to store client files so I can access them when I'm on the road. I use a laptop for road work and a desktop when I'm in the office, but keeping track of new and updated documents between multiple storage points quickly becomes difficult.

Having an offline/on-line sync feature with options to sync by filename, date/time, file-type and others would be such a time saver and would prevent version over-writes. I'm not sure exactly how it would work, but perhaps allowing a user to create one or more profiles - each profile describing the hardware and the root of the sync'd folder - may allow for multiple sources to be managed.

In theory, an Acrobat file space may contain many files tagged and bagged with source file paths from all over a local file system, so any method of sync would be a major time-saver.

In the same thought space, uploading and downloading of multiple files would be great too.

If a Forms feature were added to Buzzword, similar to the one in MS Word 2003 and, probably like PDF Forms in Acrobat, that would be easier for those who make worksheets for their students or who make forms for business purposes. This would be a major convenience.

Seeing that Acrobat is becoming more and more a hub of collaboration I think that it would be beneficial to have a chat capability as part of the basic functionality of the Acrobat family of products. Maybe the chat client is an AIR application that can tie into Reader and Acrobat to leverage their capabilites when necessary.  An example of this would be functionality enabled by Microsofts chat application which allows the exchangeof files though the chat interface.  For Acrobat users, I'm thinking that people would kick off collaboration sessions like shared review, or 1 to 1 connect sessions by first reaching out to their potential collaboration partner with an Acrobat chat message, then if the other person is ready to engage in collaboraion they could kick off the meeting or the shared review by clicking a button in the Acrobat chat UI.  Incorporating chat into the Acrobat family would also give users the ability to have one less application on their desktops, thereby simplifying th

Open Source file Dialog Box in Acrobat Reader.

The Ability to move from the PDF print file back to the original file openned by explorer file associations.

This helps when hyperlink linking file, wheather to make the pdf the hyperlink ot the orginal document the hyperlink, with this option available in the reader then linking to the pdf also means you have an automatic link to the source file.

Assumptions could be made that the files reside in the same directory, or following the embedded path back to the origianl document.

or the path is the current pdf path and the filename is the current pdf filename but the extension is a wildcard "*" thus allowing you to pick the equivalent file or pass over to the source file manually.

I love the new Acrobat.com Presentations ! http://labs.acrobat.com.

Is there a way to import PPTs already found in MyFiles or upload PPTs so I can work on them? If not, let's get this feature in there !

I just printed a 26 page PDF and ran out of black ink.

I would like to be able to change the font colour to blue or brown so that I can conserve the black (which always goes out first). I can do this with other documents such as text edit or word.  I can even do it on this ideas page.  But I can't to it on Acrobat (or can I?)
