Yes, I thinks its dubious as well. Searching for that same term 'Adobe PDF', there is now a second sponsored ad that is VERY similar to the first one. This other ad links to: Adobe.PDF-Format.com. This one has an About Us page which shows it is run by the company, Interactive Brands (IBSoftware) out of Quebec. I could not find any contact info from the first ad. Almost every link leads you to sign up first. And the More Info page only mentions Adobe Acrobat, and not the software they are selling!

So, either one of these sites copied the idea (duping innocent searchers) from the other site or they are just two different sites from the same company. The 'sign-up' page for both is practically identical. And, for either site, I cannot even find the name of the software package they are trying to sell without signing up with them first.

Dubious indeed!
