Adobe launches Public Beta of Acrobat.com

New Delhi

June 4, 2008

Adobe Systems Inc introduced Acrobat.com, a suite of hosted services
available as public beta for free signup, that put communication, productivity,
and collaboration tools right within a web browser. Much like Adobe Acrobat
software enabled the publishing of high-quality electronic documents that anyone
can read, Acrobat.com enables individuals to truly work collaboratively on
electronic documents. Acrobat.com is a set of online services-file sharing and
storage, PDF converter, online word processor, and web conferencing-that take
advantage of PDF, Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR technologies to deliver engaging
online experiences that go well beyond traditional office productivity tools.
Also accessible through Adobe Acrobat 9 software, Acrobat.com delivers a new way
for people to work together online.

The hosted services in Acrobat.com include:

Adobe Buzzword, a web-based word processor that can be used to easily
co-author and share documents for comment and review, creating high-quality
print results;

Adobe ConnectNow, a personal web conferencing service that includes desktop
sharing, video and voice conferencing and integrated chat;

Centralized online file sharing with access controls, online PDF conversion
for up to five documents, and support for high quality, web-embeddable
documents;

Developer APIs for real-time collaboration, file sharing and conversion.

In addition, Acrobat.com gives Acrobat 9 users access to a 'personal
workspace in the clouds' that is available from virtually anywhere for working
with others online. Acrobat 9 users can work with Acrobat.com as a central
location for sharing forms and collecting forms data, conducting shared reviews,
and co-navigating a PDF document with colleagues.
