For the first time, PDFs can 'talk' via embedded Flash video and Shockwave animation. The introduction of Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software could do for PDFs what the 'Jazz Singer' did for movies. This update should be worthwhile for security-minded businesses and creative firms. Forms, security, and overall ease of use are also enhanced. With Acrobat 9, Adobe's PDF creation and editing program brings new Web relevance to print-ready PDFs by enabling embedded video and animation.
