We’re pleased to report that the newly announced Creative Suite will add collaboration capabilities offered by Acrobat.com.
Creative professionals will be able to work with others in real time using ConnectNow without leaving the Creative Suite 4 workspace and with no need for IT support or a company-wide web conferencing solution.
You can now access your ConnectNow meeting room directly from within CS4 applications to meet live over the web to share your screen, present creative concepts and ideas, and brainstorm with up to two online guests for no additional service charge. To share your screen with colleagues and clients from within most Creative Suite 4 products, choose File > Share My Screen. Guests can then see your desktop on their screens as you work. You can exchange ideas using the chat pod, add a live video or audio feed, or use the Whiteboard feature to enable guests to comment on content. You can even temporarily hand over control of the screen to a guest to collaborate on a file.
As an added convenience, Acrobat.com on Adobe AIR will be included with most of the Creative Suites, so you can launch ConnectNow from your desktop and use other Acrobat.com services including convenient file upload, storage and sharing of large files.
Acrobat.com experienced two outages last night and this morning. The service was restored at 10:00 AM Pacific time.
We continue to monitor the system closely. The incidents were storage related, but no user data was lost. We recognize the critical importance of continuous service. Availability is the life line of our services, and we know any interruption is serious. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
We will continue to use this blog to provide informational updates about Acrobat.com, and you can always check the status of the system at http://health.acrobat.com/.
We are very excited to announce the release of a new version of Buzzword that adds support for other languages. You might recall that our last release enabled choosing languages other than US English for spell check. With this new version of Buzzword, we now offer you the ability to choose French, German or even UK English as the language to be displayed in Buzzword menus and dialog boxes. C’est très bon, n’est-pas?
This post looks at some of the ways in which PDF files can be used with Acrobat.com. In addition to offering the ability to create five PDFs, there are a number of ways that Acrobat.com helps you work with PDF files.
