Just got an update on this.  It is going nowhere.  Looks to me like passing the buck to Adboe - they are the problem, not ESRI programmers. From a support call/email today: "As per our discission over the phone, here are the deatils of the status of bug ID : NIM002169 Allow export of PDF and SVG to include hotlinks aka hyperlinks.   It specifically states that the request for the ability to export maps to PDF with hyperlinks, cannot be addressed until Adobe provides PDF support of hyperlinks for marked content. The details section of this report was updated this year and the status of this bug remains, "as designed". This is an indication that Esri development is still waiting on the word from Adobe, that they need to address this request.   Unfortunately, it is not clear whether Adobe plans to support hyperlinks for marked content in PDFs, as Esri development has been waiting on this information since 2007. However, should any updates be made to the bug report for NIM002169, you will have access to these changes since I have added this incident to the bug. For updates on this issue, please see the ESRI Customer Care Portal by going to https://customers.esri.com or contact ESRI Support Services. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.  " ...

So...I need some help with is or someone to point me to a URL that explains how this transition will actually work in practice. I currently use the built-in Visual Basic Editor to write VBA code that helps automate some work in ArcMap and ArcCatalog.  I am familiar with this tool, since it works the same as in Excel or Access. Once VBA is taken out of ArcGIS - will there be a new .NET editor in place of the VBE? If not - does that mean I need to have a copy of Visual Studio 2010 - and write add-ins or actual applications to accomplish the work that I currently perform using VBA routines in the VBE? When I hear 'start migrating your VBA code now' - I just don't understand what I should be doing. Thanks for any resources you can point me to that will help me deal with the loss of the VBE.
