Replying to Vanessa Wiebler, Jane Bergen wrote (in part):

Acrobat is just a Reader. There's nothing to learn and it's
freely and
widely available on the internet. To create a document that
Acrobat
Reader reads, you need Adobe Distiller. It comes as a component
of
FrameMaker 5.5.

Not quite correct. Acrobat is Adobe's name for a suite of applications
that support the PDF file format. The whole suite is sold as a single
package under the Adobe Acrobat name for non-FrameMaker users
(Jane correctly notes that Acrobat Distiller is bundled with FrameMaker
5.5). Acrobat Reader is, as Jane notes, a simple reader that is freely
re-distributed to make PDF a truly portable format. But in addition to
the reader, the Adobe Acrobat suite include Acrobat Exchange (an
expanded reader that provides an annotation feature and some
editing and formatting capabilities), Acrobat Distiller, Acrobat
Distiller
Assistant, and Acrobat Catalog. How much there is to learn about
these tools depends on how fully you intend to exploit the capabilities
of PDF that go beyond electronic delivery of monolithic documents.
