Acrobat.com Workspaces

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Lee Sutton | Comments (0)

,,

Adobe has introduced Acrobat.com Workspaces (not to be confused with LiveCycle Workspace), a new collaboration space that lets teams inside and outside of organizations work together on projects. With Workspaces, team members can store and organize project content online, and easily share and manage team access to files – eliminating the need to continually e-mail updates.

Teams can create Shared Workspaces to store and share a set of files related to a project, letting distributed team members work together across times zones and firewalls, with no special file sharing software or IT involvement necessary.

More information on Acrobat.com Workspaces can be found on the Acrobat.com home page.
