If you haven’t heard already, Adobe has realease acrobat.com as a public beta.

The features of Acrobat.com include:

• Acrobat.com provides online file sharing. By sending URLs instead of e-mailing large attachments, you and your team can access files from any computer in the office or on the road.
• Adobe® Buzzword® is a new online word processor, perfect for writing reports, proposals, and anything else you need to access online or work on with others. It looks and behaves like your normal desktop word processor, but it operates inside a web browser, so there’s no installation required.
• Acrobat.com provides an intuitive interface to help you easily organize all the files you share online, including Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDF files, and images.
• Acrobat.com provides an online PDF converter so you can easily create PDF documents from your existing files in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and many other applications. It’s as easy as selecting your file and clicking Create PDF.
• Adobe ConnectNow is a great way to share ideas, discuss details, and complete work together — all online. Reduce travel costs, save time, and increase productivity with a web conferencing solution that is easy to access and simple to use

The press release can be found here.

After having a look at Acrobat.com, here are my thoughts:

• The interface looks like it is in made in Flex. Which isn’t to bad, however it does feel a little slow, and you do notice the loading times.
• The PDF features are nice; being able to convert documents online is a great feature.
• The collaboration tools have pretty staple features, nothing outstanding, but it’s nice to have everything in the one location.

There are a lot of online Web 2.0 document tools that are available, Google Docs for example, which could make it hard for Acrobat.com to find it’s footing.

All in all, it’s worth having a look at, so check it out http://www.acrobat.com.
