Hey, Rick--

I'm not saying that 200 or 300 is a big deal for Adobe Acrobat Pro. I love the product and highly recommend it and think it is well worth the cost. But for a quick and dirty way to print to a pdf, a 30 dollar driver ain't too shabby either. It's all a matter of scale. < s >

Agreed. I don't have a good sense of any expanding development for this tool. I periodically check their site for news of what's planned, but it seems to be a fairly minor issue for Adobe...
