If you're an avid users of Adobe's Creative Suite, you're probably already familiar with their recent shift to making software available on a subscription basis. Love it or hate it, it seems the dawn of software as a subscription is now upon us. With the release of the Adobe Reader 11 update, iPad and iPhone users can now take advantage of Adobe's CreatePDF and ExportPDF cloud services - but only after making the required in-app purchase.

So what's new in 11?

Ability to buy Adobe CreatePDF service using In app purchase
Convert an image to PDF using Adobe’s CreatePDF service
Create PDF files from a variety of file formats using CreatePDF service
Ability to buy Adobe ExportPDF service using in app purchase
Export PDF files to various formats (Word, excel, etc..) for editing using ExportPDF service
Bug fixes and Security updates

CreatePDF is priced at $19.99 per year, while ExportPDF (which includes CreatePDF) is priced at $89.99 per year. Well... nobody said these services would come cheap.
