OK, if you really had your heart set on doing so, you *could* design a
web/intranet site using Acrobat - my argument was why would you want to? It
would probably be the most ill-advised technology choice you could make,
Acrobat's not intended for developing websites, it's for publishing
professionally typeset documents that look as they were intended anywhere
(in print, on screen, across a multitude of platforms) regardless of things
like fonts installed, etc.
Just because its there, is not a good reason to use it, it has its place and
so do web native technologies and languages - this could become just like
the Flash debate :)
