Doesn't Acrobat have built in OCR? I bet that could really come in handy if you ever have to scan anything.

It does, but you're better off using dedicated OCR software and then converting to PDF

Yep, it was a law firm so every paralegal's computer pretty much had OCR running in the background all day, while our client's targets were producing their documents to us. It's appallingly slow even with top-tier computers :(
