Interactive PDF with page curl in Acrobat 9?

Does Acrobat 9 provide the ability to have a page curl, similar to what I've seen in Flash? For example, [url=http://www.zmags.com]zmags[/url] converts PDFs to a flippable book, with page curl and page turning features, but at a large $$ cost.

Does Acrobat 9 provide the page curl/page turning functionality?

I found a [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=2791]reference to page curl[/url] in the forums, but it's from January 2007.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

I believe I submitted this question three days ago, and the question was moved to this forum yesterday.

You would have to place this code in the 'Document Level' action, [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/document_actions]"Where is" Series, Entering Document Actions[/url] by Thom Parker.

You should also be aware that the PDF will need to be in the Full Screen Mode for the transitions to work and that a PDF displayed within a web browser can not be in the Full Screen Mode.
