Acrobat.com Preview…
Tonight I had a phone conversation with Mark, a guy from the marketing department at Adobe. Someone over there had seen my write up on Google Docs from a couple of weeks ago and they wanted to give me a tour of their similar online offerings, Acrobat.com.
During the 35 minute conversation, Mark showed me some pretty amazing things that could be done on Acrobat.com including creating documents that printed and looked on screen exactly as you format them. No wonky bullet points, no continuation of the underlining depending on cursor position. They have collaboration that shows in real time who is viewing or editing a document, spreadsheet, or presentation. You can comment on their edits as they move along.
Of course all of this is done in Flash so you can use it anywhere flash is available including offline with Adobe Air and on your mobile phone in the next year as Flash rolls out to smartphones everywhere (except the iPhone, apparently).
I’m going to give a more thorough going-over soon, so look for that post. I am also looking for a couple of volunteers who might be able to sign up for Acrobat.com and test it out with The Digitante. If you think you’d like to participate in a bit of experimenting, email me by heading to the About page, or you can click the Google Voice widget over in the right column of the blog.
