We all knew this day would come, and it’s finally here: the day the Acrobat.com blog heads back to the home farm, into the welcoming pages of our mother product. Yes, that’s right: we’re joining forces with the Acrobat blog! The way we see it, we’re all one big family: Acrobat and the online services, working together to help you and your team work together. That being the case, it’s time to round up the ducklings and bring all of our future posts about the Acrobat.com services to roost at the Acrobat blog; you’ll find us quacking contentedly over there about each of these services within the larger context of events and announcements for all of Acrobat. This way, you can get all your Acrobat-related information in one place. Just follow us over to the Acrobat blog and subscribe to our feed for the same fresh fodder all about the happy Acrobat family.

I just dug up an old interview that I did with Dave O., one of our fine engineers, a couple of months ago; somehow, it never made it up here to the blog. Now, in full original glory, here is Dave speaking about Acrobat.com and how he uses it. Enjoy!

Oh, Happy Day! (Notifications and more in FormsCentral)

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Rebecca Staley | Comments (1)

We’ve all seen the old movies: The scene opens on the protagonist, sitting next to the telephone. Just staring. At the phone. Waiting for it to ring. When it does eventually buzz, the hero or heroine will certainly have an Important Conversation, in which Important Information will be imparted. However, no one – not the audience, not the hero – knows just when that phone might ring. For all we know, our hero might spend the whole night just waiting by the phone and never hear it ring once. He can’t leave the house for fear he’ll miss the call.

Well, don’t wait by the phone any longer. Everyone, you’re hearing it here first: Email notifications have arrived to FormsCentral. Let’s say that again, a bit differently: When new responses are submitted to your form, you’ll get an email notification. No more waiting in the browser, refreshing your screen every two minutes.

Since Adobe FormsCentral first launched in February, we’ve been hearing from customers about all kinds of ways to use it—ways that we could never have imagined when we first started out with the service. Now, born of your innovation (and your many requests for new ways to kick-start certain form types), we present 7 new form templates to support the various ways in which you’ve been using FormsCentral. We like to keep them organized by category, so here they are, according to the type of form they represent.

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Rebecca Staley | Comments (0)

If you’re a small business owner, you’re familiar with the problem: you’ve got a document, and you need to send it to a client or a contractor. But what’s the best way to do it? You’ve found yourself running to the post office to get there before the last pick-up, spending far too much money on a courier, or desperately sending files by email – only to find that the files don’t get there in time or bounce back without ever reaching the other’s inbox. This Wednesday, let us show you a better way to send files to your clients, vendors, or anyone that you work with. Our team will be giving a free webinar on how Adobe SendNow can help your small business save time and money. Join us:


Date: August 10th, 2011
Time: 10:00 AM US Pacific (1:00pm US Eastern)
Location: http://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/acrobatusers/


Hope to see you there!

Last week, we looked at the new Page Skip Logic feature in FormsCentral. Today, let’s examine another new addition to the service: Summary reports. These beauties are now built into your forms once data starts flowing in; without exporting any data or fussing around with other spreadsheet programs, you can view your form’s responses graphically. Today, we’ll go through the details of what these summaries can do for you in FormsCentral.
