Adobe has a new version of the Reader product out, they are now on version XI.  There are a host of cool new features that you can look at here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/features.html

On the technical side there are new deployment options, better integration with SharePoint and Cloud Storage providers, group policy controls, and much more.  For now though, I’m going to focus in on the ability to easily sync your PDFs to the Acrobat.com (aka “The Cloud”).  These screenshots are taken from the Windows installation.

Here you can see the basic interface with the Sing in option for Acrobat.com on the right.

Next you see the Sign In interface where you can use an excising Adobe account or create a new one.

Last you can see the Getting Started PDF that I’ve uploaded to my Acrobat.com cloud storage.

Now that you have your PDF’s uploaded to the cloud, you can access them on your mobile device too.  Below are screenshots of the user interface on my Android phone.
