Adobe has just unleashed a new online platform containing a word processor, file storage and sharing, both tied together with a Flash-enabled Acrobat 9.
The free Acrobat.com beta includes the Buzzword word processor. Its ConnectNow Web conferencing and desktop sharing tool enables chatting via text, video, and voice. The hosted services invite file storage and sharing with the capability to convert up to five documents to PDF.
Users of Acrobat.com can join each other in virtual rooms, and all those in the room have access to the same document. This is a great feature for virtual meetings, paper editing, and much more.
Acrobat 9 will include many features aided by the integration of Flash. Some of these features include animation integration and dynamic maps.
For creating online forms, Acrobat 9 adds intelligence to recognize content for conversion to fillable fields. And a forms tracking dashboard will show, for instance, the status of responses to a mass party invitation e-mail and let a user send reminders to guests. Responses can be sorted, filtered, and exported to spreadsheets.
With this Acrobat facelift, we can also expect a speedier environment. Everyone has had the 'PDF opening blues', which is hoped to be eliminated with Acrobat 9.
