One of the perks offered to Adobe Employees is waiving the $150 fee for the Adobe Certified Expert tests. I figured that since I'm in a transition phase, I'd take advantage of the offer and pick up an Acrobat Certification. Adobe doesn't offer a "certified developer test" (perhaps I should have pursued that) so programming Acrobat seems like a close second.

Hey - these things are hard! Specifically, the test isn't just about concepts - they want to know if you have a handle on where things are located. Sure - import form data. No Sweat. But would you know what menu item to use to compile form data?

Fortunately, I passed so I don't have to retake. Now that I've got my sheepskin, what am I going to do? Probably look into helping the legal field with security and data processing issues - and I'll start to haunt the Acrobat support forums and grab whatever questions are left laying around.

After that - still working on mnr.next ...
