Excellent obsevations
You're right Josh - all the bells and whistles didn't amount to much for the people I was working with and the value really wasn't there.

As has been pointed out here and elsewhere, there are any number of alternatives ranging from free to much less expensive. I actually do a lot of PDF editing and combining - I liked using Acrobat Pro - I just didn't like the gyrations I had ot go through to get it to work and was utterly unstatisfied with Adobe's response to my problems.

I contrast that experience to the kind of support I get from other developers - large (like Microsoft) and small (like you) and I spend my money where my patronage is appreciated. I think Adobe has lost its way - in the good old days of desktop publishing when they had significant competition, they were a different company.
