Acrobat 9: Flash video, audio and powerpoint in PDF's

This means that you can send an irritating Power Point presentation to borethe pants off the readers of your reports without you having to be there.
Acrobat allows users to package documents so they can be read across different hardware and operating systems.
Acrobat 9 comes with Adobe's video-enabling software Flash. Userscan include Flash-based videos when they create and share documentswith the portable document format, commonly known as PDF.
With a professional version of Acrobat 9, for example, users couldpackage a Power Point presentation not just with images, but also withan audio of the presenter's voice.
It is the first time that Adobe has released a version of Acrobat sinceNovember 2006. Since then it has bought Macromedia, who made Flash software.Everyone had been expecting Flash to be included but it has taken time

Adobe also launched Acrobat.com, which will host Web-based software services to support document creation and sharing.

Doesn't anyone see a problem in this? First of all, I'm almost positive PPT can have videos. Flash? Maybe not, but its not difficult to convert it to mpeg. But also Adobe ruined their own product. PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Ever since Acrobat 6, the program had nearly no additional (or useful) features but seemed to have exponentially grown about 10+MB for every version. Thats like saying you have a 200kg backpack but it just happens to have wheels. Its very heavy but its just BARELY portable enough to bring from place to place. Adding this Flash and PPT feature is so unnecessary - typically a PPT is good enough for whatever presentation you want. Slideshows are interactive, sometimes flashy, and easy to focus on. Oh, and typicaly why videos are made for presentations now is because often a slideshow is comparatively obsolete. So you're mixing a document with a slideshow with a video. Whose idea was this? I'm sure glad Acrobat is free.
