September 2007

Create your profile,
respond to a poll!

In the latest expansion of AcrobatUsers.com designed to make the site and the user experience more interactive, we recently introduced a Member Profile feature and posted the first “Quick poll” question (on the homepage).

In the new profiles section, we invite you to post some information (after logging in, or registering) about yourself that will be of interest to the community, including a small photo, brief bio, details about how and why you use Acrobat, list your favorite websites and blogs, promote yourself and so on. Likewise, you can explore profiles posted by other Acrobat community members. (NOTE: As the feature is new, only a few profiles may be available initially.) Also, your forum posts will be automatically linked to your profile.

Then please share your response to the current poll question: “Which Acrobat product do you use?” When you vote, you’ll immediately see the current results. You can only vote once on the same question – they’ll change every couple of weeks – but you can review updated results at any time by clicking the “View Results” button at the end of the poll.

And don’t forget about the other opportunities to interact with the community, including the Ask an Expert area and the discussion forums. Also, please try out our new implementation of Google Search, which makes it even easier to locate specific information within the site.

Join in!

Best Regards
~ Kurt, Editor, AcrobatUsers.com
