Awesome.

If you have Acrobat pro, at installation, it will also have installed a menu in Word, simplifying translation. Word has a batch proccessing translation Wizard that will proccess multiple documents in a flash.
Microsoft Office has a feature where you can OCR text from an image. It doesn't work on other languages (like Russian) unless you have another piece of add-on $oftware from Microsoft and set your default Office language to the language you plan on OCR-ing.

Anyway, thanks all for venting with me. I'm thinking about loading up an SD card with some test PDFs and going back to Borders to see for myself how the Sony Reader displays them.
