Does the professional version allow to enter mathematical equations in pdf ?

Yes, and no.

Yes, if you design mathematical equations in your original document,
they should convert to PDF.

No, there is no way to enter equations directly into Acrobat, but you
should not be entering ANY kind of text, nor designing pages in
Acrobat; Not what it is for.

In general, you don't enter text in a PDF. Not with any software. You
change the original file, and make the PDF again, with the new text
included.

However, for small spelling corrections and form filling Acrobat can
sometimes be used.

Acrobat makes it possible to convert ("print") any kind of document into 
PDF. Furthermore, it offers very basic editing tools, tools for 
reviewing, annotating, creating forms etcetera.

Mathematical equations can be made for example in LaTeX or with Word 
with the equation editor.

(Mainly) to convert existing documents from any application (that can 
print those documents) into a PDF file. But once you have anything in 
PDF, it's not a good idea to change anything in there: You go back to 
the original application, change there, and convert to PDF again).


> what software can I use to make a pdf with mathematical equations in it ?

That's mostly unrelated to PDF itself: You have to chose which 
application you want to work with to create your documents: any modern 
Wordprocessor (Star/OpenOffice, MS Word, WordPerfect, etc.) will 
probably do, or LaTeX, etc.

All sorts of things to do with PDF.  What it is NOT is a Word
processor or design tool for PDF files.

The idea of PDF is that you do not change the software you are using.
Whatever you would use to make a printed page with mathematical
equations: Word, FrameMaker, LaTex, your favourite: you continue to
use it. Acrobat lets you make it a PDF.

How do I convert from latex to pdf? Do I use some latex feature that can 
create pdf ? If so why the need of using also acrobat ?

There are tools to convert LaTeX to PDF.

> If so why the need of using also acrobat ?

If that's all you want to do, Acrobat would not be necessary.

Never used LaTeX much, but you might want to start here:

Aandi, do you know if there are plugins that enable users to insert 
mathematical equations or mathematical symbols in comment or notes?

Thanks,

It would not be possible in Notes or regular comments, which are
defined by a stream of simple Unicode text.

Is there a workaround in your opinion? That would be a terrific plugin :)

The only work around would be a plug-in which made a different kind of
note or comment. This is certainly technically feasible. Whether it is
commercially viable is another story.
