Office 12 to support PDF natively

Oh, the Office 12 team just announced native PDF support. That’s big.

I agree. It sucks to be Adobe right now though as a huge chunk of their PDF related profit just went out the door but they really should have seen it coming and I’m sure they’ll survive – they have enough going on around PDF that the Word document to PDF side of it won’t be a major set back for them.

It’s good to see Microsoft listening to user feedback and particularly in this case because this be a huge boon to interoperability. I’m so impressed by this I’ll even hold back from mentioning how long ago I started enjoying integrated PDF support for all OS X apps (including Office:mac).
