Professional 6 and 7 have that ability.
Working with Packages
A package is a set of files grouped into a single PDF file. It can contain
only PDF files and cannot have sub-folders. PDF Reader can open
packages and display the files in the Portfolio viewer. It shows document
thumbnails or a document list. Navigate and save files as described
above. Many PDF products can create packages, for instance Nuance PDF
Create.
Viewing layers
Some PDF files contain layers that separate elements on the page. These
are typically used by architects or designers and also when submitting
publications in PDF format to printing houses. PDF Reader 7 introduces
the ability to view single layers separately or any combination of layers.
Converting PDF to editable formats
The File toolbar includes a button Convert PDF that leads to a free
Nuance web-based conversion service
from PDF to editable formats.
Select a PDF file and click the button. A dialog box lets you choose a
target file type: RTF, DOCX, (Word on Vista), XLS (Excel) or WP
(WordPerfect). You must also supply an e-mail address and a password.
