PDF in Office 12

This comes in the category of "about FREEKING TIME!"

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, OneNote, Visio, and InfoPath will all have PDF support.

Hopefully that means Word can create/edit PDF docs.

Anyway, what in the world took them so long to add this feature?

Also, Word and Excel will also have a new shiny XML format to boot. Just what are we going to do with ourselves now?

I wouldn't expect to be able to edit PDF in Word. My understanding is PDF is a "one way" format. You can tweak a PDF document, but rarely do you edit one. The document itself just really isn't setup for that. If you ever try to copy large amounts of text from one you will see what I mean.
