Mail order pricing for Adobe Acrobat 3.0 (which contains
everything--Reader, Exchange, Catalog, etc--for Mac and IBM, is US$199.95.
Just bought it for personal use and also making another purchase this week
for corporate use.
I'd be interested in finding out more about the EDI implications for my

has an EDI application in the process of rewrite.
