They simply removed a feature without properly judging the reaction, then restored it when some people (myself among them, even though I don't use it) complained. Good for them for correcting the error. >. What's >missing in 6, and >what's added? Here's what I think you need to know. A6 is different. Many differences are subtle. On the whole, it's a major improvement towards fulfilling the core Acrobat missions. Granted... you have to get used to it. But what's the alternative? Keep building in A5? Adobe needs (and deserves) revenue for all the new stuff. Users will adopt A6 and move on, like they do with everything else that matters to them. I agree with you that a roll-out of a usable list of feature changes, incompatibilities, etc. would be useful. I imagine Adobe thinks of these little hassles as Darwinism - if they think of it at all.
