This is topical, as I've just trialled 8 Pro for a very similar reason.

It is my understanding that some 'advanced' features such as ink aliasing work only for print/press/RIP output from Acrobat 8 Pro: that is, they cannot be used to edit a PDF so that colors are permanently remapped. Adobe UK support confirmed this. However, I'm still slightly surprised, as it means that the features are only of use to print shops, and not to, say, those who supply pre-press PDFs.

Perhaps Dov could confirm this?
