You may have heard by now, but we announced our new "Share" service this week at MAX. It’s currently in beta, but Share is a free web-based service that allows you to easily store, manage, and share your PDFs and other documents. We are also making our web services APIs available. Using these APIs, developers can easily integrate document-based workflows with Share, either via a mashup or new application, and let users collaborate on their documents.
Share uses a simple REST-based protocol, so any development environment able to work with HTTP requests can access the API. Libraries are provided to simplify development in major languages, such as Java and Actionscript 3.
The current set of APIs includes uploading documents, browsing the content repository, sharing documents, and converting documents such as PDFs into an interactive SWF. This is only the beginning; we’ll be adding additional calls, so stay tuned for more. Learn more about our APIs at our Labs API page, and join our discussion forum and tell us what you think – what you like and don’t like about our APIs, etc.
Hey There. Nice work... again. Can you give us a link download the Actionscript 3 Library for share? I can't seem to locate it. Thanks - Steven
Hi,
Would it be possible for people to annotate/ review/comment on the PDFs that are shared.
Thanks.
Ravi
For converting documents such as PDFs into an interactive SWF, where can one see code samples?
The API takes content from PDF to Flash. Is there no way back?
I start as a PDF fan. I was confused by Acrobat 8. Connect seems to be another product with an advert button next to Kinko. There is no apparent way to save any content as PDF for example.
Buzzword and Share may be a better base for what you are trying to do. Why not just forget about PDF and Acrobat? It could be more coherent.
