Distiller is finally OS X native. It wasn't that hard, was it?

...only to 6.0. Anything prior to 10.2.2 is still 5.1 Reader supported.

Acrobat Distiller is not just native, it's completely rewritten in Cocoa. Acrobat 6 also supports mouse scrollwheels just fine on OS X.

It's faster, but still not as fast as on Windows. And scroll wheel now works. :)

Overall, great job, Adobe.

But, I must add that the UI does appear too Windows-y, especially that Open file icon on the toolbar.

eBook readers?

While they seem to say a lot about how to go get eBooks, anyone find anything about migrating the eBooks from 9.x reader to this thing? I miss my books...
